Bala Earth Movers

Bala Earth Movers is located at 106 on the Main Road in Kallivalasu. Being on the main road means we see everything that passes through town. The dust from the passing trucks is constant, but we've stopped noticing it after all these years. Our yard is usually quite busy with machines coming in for maintenance or leaving for a new site. We don't have a fancy office with air conditioning. We just have a small room with a desk and a few stools. Usually, we are out in the yard anyway. We spend a lot of time talking to the operators and making sure the grease guns are full. It's a very hands-on life. We don't have any corporate slogans or big goals. We just want to make sure the work gets done and the machines don't break down in the middle of a job. Sometimes the phone rings and it's someone from the next village needing a backhoe, and we have to figure out how to get it there. It's like a big puzzle every day. Kallivalasu is a small place, and we are glad to have our spot on the Main Road. It makes it easy for the low-loaders to pull in and out. We are just regular people doing a regular job, nothing more to it than that. Sometimes we sit out front in the evenings and watch the traffic. The tea stall is nearby, so we spend time there too.
