Topic: Getting Started: VAN or Open Trailer

Bryan -  Good looking van.  Don't you get dizzy smelling all those chems while you drive?

I like the van setup too. I rarely smell any chems or gas.  Just keep a small open bag of Simple Cherry in the van.  Air freshener baby!

Thanks.  I initially hated the yellow, but it has begun to wear on me.  2005, 11K miles, $12,500 - got a great deal on it from a friend who works for Ford so we settled with the yellow.

I store my chemicals and mix my stuff each day before heading for the jobsite...

That's a really nice looking setup!!! If you ever do start using bleach, I'd put it on a small trailer with a heavy duty axle.. It'll rust all your equipment and van, otherwise. Bleach rusts everything it contacts.

I had one of those when I first dated my wife.
No wonder her parents hated me!

Things are going alright, Lou.
Cool logo. Maybe even a tiny bit cooler than the one I made for you.
 

Life ok i guess......alot depends on when you ask me, and if i've slept in the past 48 hrs.

After 27 years in the business I have found a trailer is the only way to go. When I had a flatbed and the truck broke down the machines were in the shop along with the truck, hence no work. Also if you need something while on the job, the job stops while you go get what ever you need. With a trailer if the truck brakes, use another one, if you need something while on the job....unhook and let the employees keep working. And last but definitely not least when you need all of your trucks working on the weekend and you are off...... you keep your 2008 F250 SuperDuty KingRanch home with you and let them use the spare truck!
