Holt Backhoe Service Inc. could well be considered the business equivalent of "making lemonade when life hands you lemons." Back in the late 80s, Larry Holt lost his job with a major oil company in a mass layoff - anyone with less than 10 years with the company was let go, and Holt was just a few months shy of the 10-year mark.
He took his severance check and used it to lease a backhoe for six months after people told him they'd give him work if he had the equipment. Things worked out well enough that he purchased his first Case backhoe at the end of 1989. Today, he owns two Case 580 Super M+ backhoes, an 850 dozer, a couple Case excavators, and a couple of dump trucks.
The company does some oil field jobs such as cleanup work after a rig is moved in or out, cleaning and digging pits, and cleaning up oil spills. The company also does septic work, drainage for farmers, and concrete work such as driveways and parking lots. With that variety, "every day is different."
