I rent equipment from United regularly, and as a project manager who relies heavily on time commitments, this experience was extremely frustrating.
I reserved the equipment and was later told I needed to have a credit account, which we promptly opened. However, I wasn’t informed that I needed to reach back out after the application was completed — something the sales representative should have clarified.
I specifically requested the boom be delivered early in the morning. The Friday before the rental, I was told delivery wouldn’t happen until between 1–3 PM, so I scheduled customer appointments around that window. Then at 7 AM Monday morning, I received a call from the driver saying he was already en route. I had to scramble to get technicians on-site and rearrange multiple customer appointments to accommodate the early delivery.
When I followed up, I was told that dispatch and sales do not communicate directly, which appears to be the root cause of the confusion.
The only saving grace in this experience was the driver — he was courteous, helpful, and took the time to ensure I understood the equipment before leaving. He even answered a follow-up call later, which I greatly appreciated.
Bottom line: your internal communication needs serious improvement. Misalignment between departments shouldn’t fall on the customer to manage.

Great staff helpful. Please take pictures and videos before leaving because the manager at the bladensburg location will accuse you of damage to equipment talk to you very unprofessional and told a worker to find a truck that was one of their worst vehicles and I understand that everyone has problems but I would not recommend this location.
