You really shouldn’t throw stones at General Motors over that. Clearly that guys house, car and shop likely looks like that also. Some people are just pigs.

We do a weekly ‘purge’.
As we do a lot of different flooring, upholstery, and commercial work, there is a need to keep ‘the canvas fresh’.
Just finished this process, and are now ready for weekend commercial work….
I clean both the exterior (daily), and the interior (weekly).
It takes but 10-15 minutes at the end of each day.
We are about to embark on an extremely busy spring commercial season, and there is no choice but to be ready for whatever comes our way.

Sometimes during mid day jobs on a day when I’m swamped with work. I just throw my stuff back in at the end of the job to get over to the next job. But on a slow day or Saturday, I’ll put everything back where it needs to be
It’s called survival of the fittest.
But on serious note…it’s stupid to put a big water tank in a little express van when they hook up to the client’s water 90% of all jobs anyway. So pull out that big anchor and have some extra room

My issues won't let me be that unorganized and cluttered. I hate digging for tools but I do have a stack of hoses in the back that could go on hose reels but this is easier right now.
I let things get dirty until I feel energetic enough to clean it. I could do better but I'm tired and sore.

It’ll come as no surprise to anyone here that I think you two morons are wrong concerning on board water. I’m not surprised by anything Mat thinks and Mikey can’t remember actually cleaning for a living anymore.
You have a full day of work, (3-5) jobs
How are you gonna carry that much water with you?
Is the water poor quality? I currently filter it with the house type filter on the truck
Is the water too hard? Get a water softening filter in line and mount it on the wall of the van/truck. How do you think window cleaning companies get their water softened to prevent spots on the glass? Do they carry enormous amounts of water with them?
My main rig has a 100gallon tank and my spare doesn’t carry water. I never miss my tank when I’m driving the spare
I’m on year 23 of doing this too

If your “facts” are accurate, then you’re giving up 10 out of every 100 jobs not carrying water. For my business, that would cost me, on average, $2250.
You’re a goober

I’m a $2250 richer goober than you
But my schedule is slap full. How could I be losing $2250 if I don’t have any room in my time to do it?
It’s a way to choose my customer base. The average customer that doesn’t have water access, well, might not be the most profitable customer out there.
