Ken.. They don't use that much gas.. One good Upsell on some protector and your gas is covered for a week!.. Raise your price a little and your TM gas is covered for the jobs you do.. I've been the porty route for many many years.. Actually longer than you have been in business.. You 9yrs..? right/wrong..? Sure you'll save a little.. But not enough for most of us TM'ers to switch over.. I'll break mine out when the big 2 man jobs are due.. Otherwise gas can be $5gal. It don't matter.. Customer has it covered with protector..lol..

JohnL .... you miss my point when I say I have the same benifits as a truck mount I'm not talking about having the same power or cfm's or lift as a tm. obviously I don't. but the customer doesn't care and they don't ask. I pull up to the custy's home drag my hose in, start the generator , press the buttons on the extractor. start cleaning. when finished drag hoses out and put away in van pick up my money and off to the next custy . same procedure when I operated a tm. I never over wet carpets and pretreat soiled areas first. I carry lots of water on board and rigged up a 50 gal blue plastic barrel on its side with the dump out valve running into it, never have to dump water until finished last custy. so when I say I run just like a truck mount I'm talking about setup not the power of the machine. I can charge my custy the same as you with a fraction of the investment. custys think I have a tm and I don't tell them any differant

At $1/sqft Ken doesn't have to worry until gas gets up to $15/gal
