Your service truck body is your home away from home (unfortunately, sometimes). You should have everything that you could ever need on-site within your utility body (barring a refrigerator and a toilet).
Far too often, contractors and business owners are searching for the perfect service truck, only to have to settle for what is available.
I am here today to tell you that it doesn’t have to be like that (and it shouldn’t be like that!)
Where are your service truck options?
You should demand more from your service truck body. If you need custom cabinets to store oddly shaped tools and apparatuses, by gum, you should have them.
Most truck body manufacturers don’t think so, unfortunately.
That’s because they produce one size fits all service truck bodies, that are coincidentally one-size-fits-none because every worker has their own unique toolkit, processes, and workflow.
This is why you should demand options for your service truck.
The truck body should make your job more efficient and easier. Otherwise, it serves no purpose.
What options should you consider for a service truck body?
The options that should be taken into consideration should be personalized to you.
Consider what essential features, functions, and storage you may need before you even begin the service truck body shopping process.
This will help you define exactly what you need prior to entering negotiations with commercial dealers or manufacturers.
It starts with deck and truck body specs.
Have in mind body width, side height, side depth, cargo deck width, tailgate height, storage capacity, cabinet dimensions when you are starting this process.
This will help the initial definition of what you need from your service body.
Once that is defined, move on to features and functionalities that will maximize your capabilities to complete work at an optimal and efficient pace.
Whether that includes cabinet lighting, hazard lighting, knuckle boom or telecoping cranes, lift gates, etc. will be predetermined by the line of work that you are in.
Regardless, you should demand options, as they will increase your satisfaction with the investment you are seeking to make.
What if options aren’t available?
They are available.
Many manufacturers hide the fact that you are able to completely customize your service truck body because of the extra work and effort required to ensure you have a product that is specially designed for you.
If you ask, they will likely admit that they are able to implement the features that you are requesting, but they will charge a hefty premium on top of that.
This is the way of mass-production service body manufacturers: profit-centered instead of customer-centered.
Again, it does not have to be this way.
You can get an affordable service truck body that is specially designed to fit your needs.
