Connecticut entrepreneur balances work with truck beauty shows from the back of rental cars

by Bruce W. Smith / Editor

Beth Roccapriore doesn’t let truck beauty shows get in the way of her business. The 35-year-old Connecticut entrepreneur is the Owner of Clean Slate Environmental in Hebron. The company specializes in environmental cleanup and consulting services primarily in Connecticut, New Jersey and New York.

Roccapriore uses a laptop and a Verizon Wireless WiFi system with a program called Log Me In to literally link to her office computer while on the road.

    Business is brisk, and her clients demand fast answers to daunting issues. Roccapriore can’t let being attending truck beauty shows with her husabnad, Todd, interfere with being in constant contact with her clients and potential customers.

    “It’s important to give my customers immediate answers and solutions to their problems,” she says.

    “After all, they are the ones who feed you, so I take a lot of pride in what we do. What we show [in Wildwood] reflects the same pride we take in how we conduct our business.” 

    To keep connected with her clients, Roccapriore uses a laptop and a Verizon Wireless WiFi system with a program called Log Me In to literally link to her office computer while on the road.

    During the Wildwood event she turned the cargo area of a rental Jeep SUV into her office just 30 yards away from husband Todd, who was sweating long hours getting their truck/trailer detailed to the nines for the show.

    “LogMeIn is the best invention ever for taking your office on the road,” says Roccapriore. “I can enjoy the truck shows and keep business as usual.” -CR
