WON'T
I NEED SOME KIND OF EXPENSIVE NEW TRUCK TO BE IN THE CARPET CLEANING BUSINESS?
Not necessarily. When I first started exploring the potential of this
business, I was using just a two-door sedan. Admittedly, it was a little
inconvenient getting my floor machine in and out of the front seat, and it
certainly didn't look all that professional. But I WAS in business, and starting
to get a lot of customers.
The standard Drysdale's vehicle is now a Ford Taurus station wagon. It has
removable aluminum signs bolted in place over the windows of the rear doors and
cargo area. With the rear seat folded down, there is plenty of room for everything I need to perform even large
commercial jobs.
Since the Challenger floor machine weighs only 65 Ibs., it can easily be
lifted up and rolled into the rear of the wagon. We also carry a simple wooden
ramp on the roof which can be used to avoid lifting altogether. Just roll the
Challenger up and down the ramp. Even the smallest of station wagons would make
an ideal business vehicle. Other good choices would include a minivan, an SUV,
or a small pickup with cap. I think you'll agree that the high quality of
graphic design on our signs serves to enhance our professional image.
