“We’re borrowing both a truck and dump trailer from family, so we’re basically bootstrapping the business.”

Why it happens

Gear moves on a handshake, lent to a crew member or rented to a neighbor, with no ledger. Due-backs live in nobody’s head, deposits get returned from memory, and the double-booking surfaces at 7 AM.

The fixGear Ledger Kit

An inventory + check-out ledger with automatic due-back reminders, deposit tracking, and a borrower reliability report. Double-booking is refused at booking time.
