    hey Doug, steamer, nightrider, etc.--ya it's the portable guy lol.
The question is lease or hire?
     I currently do enough wdr to keep myself busy. All the carpet i do is with a portable myself. Now I know with a little marketing I could keep a tm busy on carpets & flood extraction.  Question is? Should I  Buy a tm & have to staff it my self or just find some one willing to lease one to my company & keep on marketing my company???????

Harvey: I believe this is a question for your account.  He will be able to tell you which is the most benifical to you company.  If you have the work than get a TM but weather to lease or but depends on your finances and how much of your line of credit you want to tie up.  That is where a lease is good. But you still have payments.  Maybe try used till you determine your market, than buy new.  I think this is a very complex question and I don't know enough about neither your workload nor your finiances to advise you on this issue.  Just my opinion.Guitar

I am sure someone can help just not me.

    you gurys have misinturprited  my  meaning os lease.
  What I mean by lease is have someone buy  their own van  &lease it on to me for finding the work for them.    Lets say for  30% of  income of every job I get them.  Doesn"t matter to me if iit is new or used as long as it runs when i need it!

well you better have a lot of jobs...or pay a higher percentage.. because new or used it gets pretty expensive to run a truck mount..  I think if you going to need it when you want it ...you better buy one your self....one or two jobs a week isn't going to cut it for a guy who's running a TM

have you seen the price of gas lately.....lol

something tells me I still missed the point

Harvey:  Mr. Stremer makes a good point.  Subs are very good for overflow, but as our princple tm he also has to make a living.  If you have enough with water damage etc. I would suggest you get your very own tm.  Than the operator can be doing other things if things are slow.  Just my opinionGuitar
