There are many factors to consider as you try to determine how to gett the most out of your work truck vehicle.
Safety
It does not matter how serviceable and versatile your service truck is, it first must be safe. The safety of the vehicle should outweigh anything else. This means making sure rules and regulations are upheld and taking good care of your truck. Ensure driver safety first and foremost, followed by making the vehicle as ergonomic as possible.
Safely secure any storage in your bedding and hook things up with working tools. Truck safety itself can be improved by having a separate bumper at the back to reduce the risk of damage, a back-up camera and alarm to prevent collisions, aluminum rock sliders to limit denting, and a powder coated exterior to fight rust and erosion.
Organization
As mentioned before, safely securing your storage will safeguard any interior damage to your vehicle. Additionally, having an organized and fixed setup will make your job as a service provider much easier.
While many of us claim to work better by leaving things where they are, taking some time out of one day to establish a setup with shelves, an overhead ladder rack, storage bins, tool drawers, and part cases will keep your tools safe and organized for the foreseeable future.
A Quality Return on Investment
You will not have the service truck forever, and therefore it is important to consider the impact your decisions will have today on your future return on investment when it is time to give the work vehicle away. Getting the right return on investment requires you to make proper calculations and is best done with someone who can specialize in accurately measuring the depreciation of your vehicle.
To get the most for your vehicle, you need to consider how long your equipment is expected to last, the variety of services your truck can offer, and the wear and tear it has gone through. Regular maintenance upgrades may take dents in your bank account now but can ensure a much higher return in the future.
