I going to be adding a second work van. I've had a Ford E250 since 2003 and it's still going strong but they are no longer made.
It is mostly to make my one employee more productive as he is about to get his license. We have always worked together where we both worked out of the one truck, or if the job took numerous days I would just meet him at the job. I would carry all the stock and tools. He would drive his own personal car to the job.
I have not decided what size van to get but I am considering the standard size, the very small size and also the ones with the high roof.
I'm mostly looking for what to stay away from in terms of reliability. I don't want to get something that has a bad history. I'm considering the fords, rams and Nissans in all the different sizes.
If I get the small version it will go to him and if I get mid or tall version I will drive that. In about 3-4 years I plan to just work part time with no employees at all. At that point I might just want the small van but I'm really undecided.
Our jobs are about 80-20 residential-commercial.
