They won't be around in the future. The near future. Don't get too attached to yours, or, your way of doing things. Everything changes.

I just see the writing on the wall. The UK will ban combustion engines starting in 2040, and the US will be begrudgingly close behind. I've got my eye towards the future of this business. Not for me, but for my son. We want to be ahead of the curve.What did the new rep at your deal tell you?
When I bought my first truck mount, circa 1992, it was to make things easier for me, not to improve the quality of my work which was already satisfactory. Steamway Mastermatic that cost $14,000.I answer the question “do you use a truckmount like that carpet god Pailliotet?” by saying (in a sincere tone) “No, I use a non-polluting electrical machine. Also I won’t frighten your dog with the size of my head!”
100% closing rate. Size 7 1/4 hat.
Until they have to replace the carpet from overwetting or all the spots reappear.I believe gas powered Truckmounts will go the way of the Dinosaurs in 10 -15 years. Environmentally conscious young folks will demand Earth friendly cleaning companies. Battery powered trucks and equipment will rule the day.
You're exactly right! Penalties and Insurance will be the deciding factor. Add public snarls and condescending bad reviews to the list of motivating factors.We will just have to charge twice as much to cover the penalties or fees for the fuel and insurance will be triple.
in 10 -15 years.
Battery powered trucks and equipment will rule the day.
Like the ostrich and the desert......Oil is the new gold
And there’s too much of it. Nobody ever talks about the amount of fuel used to make a battery
Once this little hippy lefty attached to their iPhone generation dies out, things will be back to normal
Had you truly read the writing on the wall, you'd have internalized that in the future carpets will be cleaned by Robots.I just see the writing on the wall.

Huh?Oil is the new gold

Well played Ofer, well played...Had you truly read the writing on the wall, you'd have internalized that in the future carpets will be cleaned by Robots.
And hopefully steer your son towards a better more secure profession.

You really believe all floor cleaning will be done by robots? Hell, how many people do you know that have a Roomba vacuum cleaner?Had you truly read the writing on the wall, you'd have internalized that in the future carpets will be cleaned by Robots.

He just secured a $60,000 a year account this week. He'll be just fine whichever way the wind blows.Had you truly read the writing on the wall, you'd have internalized that in the future carpets will be cleaned by Robots.

That was one bad ass machine in its day!Well, I've got a 1995 Powermatic, 2300 hours, if anyone's interested. That'll push 275-300* on kero. Needs some TLC.
