    Siteboss gps

    I don't think it's the same..I realize I won't be able to scale this in the future for machine control but I'm also not convinced I'll ever want to go that route anyway.

    To expand or not

    Union operators usually are a lot more expensive and aren't Jack-of- all-trades type. They will only run whatever piece of equipment u called them out for. They may be able to operate but not run a job or small project.
