The Maysville year: planting, timber hauling, and PCS season
Demand around Maysville does not arrive evenly. Spring and fall stack the farm and equipment work on everybody at once, and the same weeks keep the tree and land crews out until dark. Summer loads the US-17 corridor with traffic headed for the beach towns and the water southeast of here, which fills the counters and the fuel stops. The base cycle runs underneath all of it — orders come through, families move in and out, and a wave of households suddenly needs a plumber, a mover, or a mechanic in a hurry. Then storm season compresses weeks of tarp, tree, and generator work into a few days. Automation earns its keep in exactly those stretches, because that is when the inquiry sitting unanswered in the inbox is the one that walks. In a slow week you could handle it by hand. You cannot during a storm week.
