"This was an easy way to hold everything in place and take out the guesswork of what bucket was what. It was also to help speed everything up, so I could get in and out of them faster. This also lifts my buckets, so they are close to the level with the truck bed — making it easy to reach the bottom of the buckets on a taller truck."

"I think it's important to show up clean and organized when meeting with customers. I feel it sets the tone for what they can expect from myself and my company. I want my first impression to be a good one.
I organized my service truck with 1 1/2-inch PVS pipe. This makes it very easy to stay organized."
