Needed a dump trailer immediately and they had one. I went and had it hooked up to my truck, less than 2 hours from calling them.

I rented some equipment from here and the staff was extremely helpful and friendly. I even had an equipment failure, through no fault of sunbelt, and they helped me get it repaired and back to work. I will definitely use them from here on if I need anything and I highly recommend them to anyone with any equipment needs.
