Surely something that is needed.

Wands thrown in the truck equals two things:

1. Parts replacement on the wand; especially nipples and elbows between the valve and quick connect.

2. Parts replacement on the truck mount and built accessories: Most waste tank shut off replacements and pump or wiring repairs on water system supply pumps are caused by wands shoved into the truck from the side or back door.

Hmmm....maybe I DON'T want my customers to buy these

:biggrin:

Well, you might as well get used to them Jim. Now that Mikey’s a salesman, he’s going to make those things the next greatest thing.
My son (service guy) complains about the garbage, spilled chemicals, oil, etc in the trucks he works on.

I told him:

"You have a job because of messy trucks. Guys (or employees) who treat equipment like this also fail to maintain it, protect from freezing, and all the other things that cause massive repair bills. The guys with clean trucks are very VERY rarely here, except when equipment is installed, or extremely old."

It is also interesting that my "upstairs" (chemical supply) customers are only about 10% of any overlap with my "downstairs" (service shop customers). Since I'm pretty much the most expensive supplier around, the guys who buy those supplies "upstairs"are also the ones who take care of their equipment, and upgrade before the machines go to pieces.

Most of the guys with the garbage filled trucks are also the ones who buy the cheapest stuff wherever they can find it.

I don't think it is much of a coincidence.
