un deux trois?

Desk Jockey · May 15, 2013

un deux……..trois has not yet arrived, it’s going to be a couple of weeks. I know Porkchop, you’re seen carpet cleaning trucks before but I had to see your chit yesterday. Oh by the way nice tooth. LOL

Nice Richard! We just got in our new batch of Butlers and the first 2 are painted purple and being lettered this weekend. Here is a mock up of the rear.

Sweet! Love the large Genie too!

Ken Snow · May 15, 2013

That is actually the small Genie, about 20.5" tall. Here is a side one from a 2011 with the 50" tall Genie. The new ones are extended vans and the layout will has been modified for it and other reasons.

Photoshop?

Desk Jockey · May 15, 2013

Extended van are nice to work out of, what with all the stuff cleaners have to have on the truck.

Ken Snow · May 15, 2013

Yepper- with more of our crews now carrying tile cleaning equip and rotaries all the time we need to slowly convert. Standard vans get pretty jammed up.

Marty - I don't know the program my creative person uses.

hogjowl · May 15, 2013

I know what you mean. While I don't really like the look of extended vans, I suspect my next one will have to be extended. Like you, with all the tile tools and such, there is less storage room in a regular size van. I'd like to be able to carry my 175 with me at all times, but can't.

Desk Jockey · May 15, 2013

I actually prefer a box truck but not in a metro like you guys are in. In my teeny town they work great.

hogjowl · May 15, 2013

I am not in favor of providing box trucks to employees to drive. Anything larger than a standard size van can create problems with parking and not dinging mailboxes and running over small children.

That remark has set me back ages. Thank you Ken.
Oh, how we all yearn to kick back and dream about having a "creative person" in our company.

Actually, I am a reasonable man. I'll compromise on just having a fully employed helper :very_drunk:

Richard,

Do you have any pictures of your setup inside the Transit? I am curious to see how you utilize the space.

BradD · May 15, 2013

Ken,

Do you use your Transit vans for sales only or are they set up with small TMs? If they are set up with small TMs do you have any pictures?

No tm's.

Marketing, estimating, monitoring water losses, transporting fire crew to and from job, commercial encap carpet cleaning, spot jobs. I'd like to get a fourth one, dedicated for the fire crew only but not sure if I can this year still. 25-mph doubles what the standard vans do and while they are half of what our Prius's were getting you couldn't reasonably use the Prius for transporting equipment.

oops sorry I saw that was a question for Ken.

....or deciding to go through the McDonald's drive through...and taking some of the structure with them "to go"

Desk Jockey · May 15, 2013

We damaged the awning at one of the Country Clubs a few years ago. :hopeless:

Shane Deubell · May 15, 2013

Both of your vans look awesome...

Definitely has changed my mind on how to layout the van lettering/ wraps.

Ken Snow · May 15, 2013

We only have 1 Transit Connect and it is used by one of our Chemists who also does some strip and was jobs for us. He previously had been in a PT Cruiser. Here are pics of some units.

Is that Chavez in the parking lot?

Ken Snow · May 15, 2013

It's Dan, Richard was afraid to get on a plane and fly to Detroit.

hogjowl · May 15, 2013

Tell Dan he looks like a radical Muslim terriorist.

Ken Snow · May 15, 2013

LOL- Of course our timing was bad when we purchased the mascot costume. It was just before 9/11 so we kept him in a closet for a couple years.

I found an old picture of a PT cruise in a 3 some shot taken I believe back when we first got our Butler in a Box which was 2006.

Ken, are those Hagopian's old put out to grass vans?
Or is it your creative person again?

Ken Snow · May 15, 2013

I took that picture ofer so can't blame my adv person. I think it was taken with my first camera phone.

We got our third one in this week. :biggrin:

But with the Holiday we can't get it in for lettering until next week. :icon_cry:

Ken Snow · May 22, 2013

It can always go out unlettered till next week :-)
