I see he's got a box of shoe covers there near the top of the heap, so maybe his heart's in the right place? :roll:

Naaa.... he doesn't want to get the cab muddy!

If his hearts in the right place that would be the only thing :grin:

That would be every morning, for me. I start off pretty good, and by the end of the day I'm stacked to the gills with various flotsam and jetsam.

This is how some guys can complete a service upgrade in 4-hours. They forget to mention they spend another 4-hours cleaning out the truck.

Well i work for dennis alwon and he's a pretty clean guy, but when it's busy u just don't have time. So i started to take a minute out every morning to do just that clean the truck. And by the end of the day it's a wreck. But some people just don't care. If i was a customer i would would not want a person with a dirty truck on my job cause it could reflect his work

I spy with my little eye a receptacle in a wet location.... mounted vertically, but with a horizontal 'flip' cover instead of an in-use cover.

Shame! Shame! Shame! :grin:​

I hope I am an exception to this. My personal vehicle is a mess, but I always keep my work truck organized.

I am the same way. I would have to disagree with mdshunk on this one. I will give you an example.

I was given a truck about a year ago, it came from the biggest slob in the company (no longer works for us) and everything was a mess. I spent a ton of time getting it clean and organized. Had tools replaced that were broken our missing and made it so I could really work off of it. After about 3 months they gave me a truck that held more people and got better gas mileage. They gave the truck I had set up to another guy. All his personal stuff is immaculate.

Well long story short I got the truck back recently. It was almost as bad as when the slob had although the cab was cleaner. Some tools were missing and others were broken. I had a new drill index on the truck that had every bit, now it starts at 5/16. The stock is depleted and tons of overstock left over from jobs that don't need to be on the truck.

Just because the guys personal truck is clean doesn't mean he will take care of something that isn't his.

One place I used to work for gave me a truck to drive home every day. It was a mess.

A couple weekends later, I took a Saturday and completely emptied it out, took a pressure washer to the back, and restocked it with the stuff that was needed and turned the junk into the shop.

Three weeks later, I was issued another truck. It was just as bad. The following weekend, I took a Saturday and repeated my de-slobbing.

Within a month, I was issued yet another van. I dutifully cleaned it up, and was able to drive it for another 3 weeks.

Then came another switch..... back to the same van I was first issued. It was a total mess again. I began to see what was happening, so I never cleaned that vehicle up ever again. Drove it for 3 years after that.

Blame that on Pelsue. They built the truck that way. Grumman step van with Pelsue electrician upfit. 12kw generator, hydraulic takeoff hose reel.
