My company purchased a knuckle boom from Runnion in 2012. That's when I met one of there mechanics named Chad Rupp. He took his time to teach me everything I needed to know about that particular machine. How to maintain it properly, what all the safety features are, what not to do with the machine. We're now in 2026, and that same machine is still the workhorse of our trucking fleet and I owe Chad a huge thank you. Every time I've had an issue, I call Chad and he either talks me through to get going again or jumps in his truck and drives out to wherever I am to help get me going again. I'd like to let Patrick Runnion know what a dedicated, smart, solid professional he has as a part of his team. He's helped me become a better operator by sharing his knowledge and how to take care of a very expensive piece of equipment.
Thank you Chad!!! read more
