I'm next for a truckmount.I'm not sure but I believe a TM could do most jobs in under a 1hour.With my porty it takes ages for me to clean just three rooms.

Your right their.. But its worth it.. add the gas to the bill one way or another.. When you pull up and they see a TM vs a plastic thingy.. It seems to give you more creditability.. More professionalism.. That's what all the big boys in my area run.. Havent seen a porty lately..

I have seen truckmounts that get from 1000psi-3000psi.On average what do most cleaners use for psi? or Does it depend on the condition of the carpet?
