Summary
In March 2017, Duffy announced that Inland Auto and related Duffy rental operations were open and reported a seven-car rental fleet, with a pickup and trailer also available for rental. In April, he advertised additional rental cars and shop tools, DOT truck inspections, and auto-repair and exhaust services, while correcting the telephone number printed in the phone book.
Evidence limits
These are first-party operational advertisements. They document claimed fleet, services, and availability, not independent confirmation of vehicle count, revenue, registration, licensing, inspection authority, inventory, or continued operation.
