are you the reason Mike thinks large multi-truck outfits serving the "value to mid price" market will all become CC'ing gawds?
You're franchise certainly seems out of the norm.

We started with commercial Sanitair’s. Had odor issues (in retrospect it was the dumpable bag we were using not the vacuum). For the past few years have been using Wal-Mart Bissells (exchanging every 3 months). Not happy with those and are now “testing” Royals. Most are still Bissells

LOL!!
at least I know the difference and made a mistake
I did make it thru 3rd grade though and learnt when and ware to use "then and than"
and you better get out ahead of the pack when riding
cause you're sucking WAY too much exhaust foomze if you think the rest of valpac multi truck outfits will be going CJ's way

We are but 50 of nearly 3000 SS trucks on the road today. So no, we by no means represent the whole. However, a few years back the “mantra” of our annual convention was a phrase called Kaizen. Japanese for “incremental, continuous improvement”. That has stuck with me and I’ve worked continuously on trying to improve the small bubble that I have influence over. I think most franchise owners feel the same way but vary on what they feel their weaknesses are. Some may feel their cleaning needs improvement, some sales, some employee retention, etc... all I can do is focus on improving my org.

Just like CJ, they bought a fleet worth of CRB's and Dev wands...
and a warehouse full of Centrum Force Rug equipment.
Good thing you're not still a section 8 rug hack, the Val Packers are waking up!

Yes but they can't compete with owner operators.
Or can they?
Can the techs buy a house and save for retirement?
Most franchise owners are previous techs. And we match $0.50 on a $1.00 towards their Fidelity 401k
Since you asked so nicely.
Half my markets are $35 up to 300 sq. Ft. (As of Monday)
Other half is $33.... keep in mind I only am testing the CRB’s (have 4), Devestator’s (have 6) and zippers (8).... but from what I have seen for myself we shall be making some more purchases in the future

at 12 cents sf for vac, scrub 'n extract, guess I picked the right time to shut it down
I don't think the Mexicans up here work that cheap (the "legal" ones anyway)

300 is worst case scenario. Most aren’t. Maybe I should clarify. $35 Per Room, up to 300 EACH room. Combos (lr/dr) count as 2at 12 cents sf for vac, scrub 'n extract, guess I picked the right time to shut it down

Don’t think I’m making fun. I’m not.
I just find it amazing that you can be profitable doing multi step at those rates. And you’re moving all the furniture too?
I’m certain upsales are stressed?
