Mindy Lowe
Operations
Name Mindy Lowe
Title Operations
Our goal at Freedom is to be the equipment specialists, solving customer's problems & helping them manage their rental fleet to keep them on schedule and budget (minimize costs). Be the company they know they can call to locate that hard-to-find piece of equipment whether we have it or not we are knowledgeable and can steer them in the right direction. One of Mindy's favorite quotes is, "A person can't begin to learn what they think they already know”.
Mindy keeps this Freedom train moving forward, whether it is Accounts Payable, Receivable, or Operations, she is always busy! We want to make it easy to do business with Freedom and Mindy always takes that motto seriously, even if that means reaching out to customers about applying payments. Taking that extra step saves our customers a headache when it comes time to reconcile job costs.
When Mindy and Layton aren't giving 130% to the team and our customers they are escaping to Sandpoint, Idaho, and planning their perfect retirement!
