OUR STORY

Milam, Jr., Milam Equipment Rentals is a family-owned company providing top-quality construction equipment rentals in North Carolina with a personal touch.
In 1999, Eddie began selling used equipment from a small office in South Boston, Virginia. Through dedication and hands-on leadership, he grew the business while working alongside his father and continued operating Milam Equipment Sales until 2022. After that time, Eddie focused his full attention on expanding the rentals business he established in 2012.
