That goes for anything. Doctor, lawyer, or Indian Chief. Maybe not the latter, but most everything else.
I had both vans running today.

Are you going to put Mr. Pudgy on your other van?
Looking to hire another guy. But we'll see how we get through this winter season first. So far we are booking jobs pretty steadily. All my marketing stuff is paying off. Sent him to two jobs by himself today while I got office work done and cleaned a rug. Then we met up for a flood job. It was a busy day. This entire week is hell.
Oh, the answer is...... YES. It will have a matching wrap.

Looks like my old dodge.
Best solution is to hopefully have a business serving really clean higher end homes where endless spotting techniques etc arent needed.
Maybe the homes are so clean you can VLM, build a system thats trainable in a week. Our industry is a revolving door of employment unless you have family to run the truck... you can find some lifers out there but they probably are pretty rough looking (old boots, beer drinking, beer belly blue collar type) and even they have more opportunity in other industries.
I prefer the country club younger dude who wont stay forever but youll hopefully get 3 years out of him... that means training cant take 9 months

After finding @Old Coastie Stephen's van again and making it potd it does have a certain marketability.............perhaps rivaling that of more well known brands..............a catchy slogan surrounding it escapes me however
"Expect the Red Bumper" just doesn't have that "it"

What form of marketing do you have in play?
Multi facet. I'll be giving a talk at the next Mikey's fest.
That is the way I've always done it! writing my own tech training manuals is the only way! and now I video "how to" everything and have a tech training website. Its not hard, it just takes time to create. You will be thrilled you did it!
You have to get off that Van! and in the office! the only way to success! in this business!
Here's the deal. I really don't want to lay it all out here. Too many local lurkers. But I am honestly hitting things on all fronts. I had enough business to keep just myself busy, but as my customer list keeps growing, I just seem to keep getting busier. So I reached the point of critical mass. Now that I have a guy to support, I ramped up everything.
now I am, but ran 3 truckmounts full time for about 15 years.
