I see at least 5 companies in my town parking on random streets or mall parking lots.

I'll assume that like me they were parking at home but didn't have my luck and had a neighbor complain to the mattress police.

Legally we can't park a commercial vehical in any residential neighbor hood, which is any, ANY one ton van or truck, signed, wraped or not.




and YOU?

I had huge issues with this when I had my isuzu npr. I had to keep it at a local place where people keep motor homes an trailers. Major pain in the ass. Now my van sleeps in the driveway.

Garage at my house. The biggest reason I bought my house was the 4 car garage.

Driveway when warm, Garage when cold.

We have restrictions but are also on a dead end culdesac. Our neighbor hood is very proactive and tends to band togeather. The ones who don't fit in real well, they Move rather quick.............

Many times in the middle of the night a phone relay has gone off. So far we are 5-0 for captures,

I installed a low clearance garage door, and built my box truck to fit.

My wife manages several storage facilities nearby, free storage still not worth my time

I parked my Vortex in my front yard.

My neighbors school bus and back yard neighbors car parts hanging from the trees make me think it wouldn't be a big deal.

It wasn't ...

Garage. Idaho has far too much crime to leave it out all night. So don't think about moving here. The gang activity is pretty bad too.

About a quarter of an inch or less barely fits in there! Had to cut out the header board!

Shop. I worked out of the house years ago. It's nice having a home completely separate from your business.

Standard van is no problem here. You are not supposed to have employees drive to your house and park at your house while working. That's a law. I keep it at home during the warm days, my shop, 2 blocks away, in freezing weather.

the best thing we ever did was rent a space in marshfield with a sign. We are moving into our new facility in wymouth in 2 weeks but just went and saw a garage on a major road where we wanna do business/ The best thing you can do for your business is have a building to park your trucks and a sign

Fred made a huge difference in business. I would have to look back but I think when FCC took over I was doing $170 ish a year. I got garage and a place but rugs went up but it didn't increase in home business. We monitored what happened on 2 roads 53 and 139 and chose 139 and we jumped into the 500 range but we did get a kick from the other location so it increased business almost 50%. Now we are opening weymouth right near walmart so I can see another doubling. I stopped in Abington mass and asked the car detailer how much of an increase did he see from being on the 123/18 stretch and jumped 1800%

i thin growth comes with signs and locations. I don't want to grow much more but it is as simple as a sign in front of dunkin donuts. People see you and they call
