“While we don’t know if there is a double-dip recession looming, we can tell our shareholders that we are experiencing a sharp increase in our trucking business and equipment rental business,” continued Hamre. “With increasing U.S. sales, an inventory of used equipment that is in demand and our projected pipeline in Africa, we are confident AmeraMex offers significant potential to its shareholders.”
