I also do WDR we only have 2 express vans, was looking into a box since as you know it can be overwhelming with the calls and not having enough equipment to get to the losses.
When you get major flooding in your area where you have to send many trucks out and teams, are you relying more on portables to do extractions on cat 2-4(easier to carry pads) and water left on the ground? The reason i ask is because since cat 2-3 esp require us to yank carpet/pad, wouldn't be more cost effecient for us business owners to not have a ton of TM's rather just dropping off portables/extractors/equip and the crew, than going to the next emergency call?
I know that some of you on here have at least 1 TES, while others have the E-TES as well...i know the benefits of both, however if your company say gets 10 calls in a 2 day period, how do you know where to take your #1 TES to. Do you inspect all your jobs, leave the initial equip there, than come back and decide to which job you'd drop off the TES?
I'm speaking in terms of cost effectiveness for us business owners that want to have more than just 1 or 2 flood jobs per day/week. The money savings on having portables/extractors and not TM's would be more cost effective for WDR i'd assume.
