Buy a used truck now or wait until we can afford a new one?
We are a small Junk Removal company operating with a single truck. Our current dilemma is whether we should purchase a used truck now and put the extra money into repairs, or to wait a bit longer until we can afford a new truck that won't need repairs right off the lot. There's pros and cons to both options and we just can't decide.Should I lease or buy a work vehicle?
We at GB Plumbing decided to lease our first work vehicle as we thought we wouldn’t be growing or doing much besides having 1 truck. But once things got busier, and we had to start hiring more, we had to buy a truck pretty quickly to keep up with the demand of work, and same for our third vehicle.Do you utilize battery-powered tools?
Handheld battery-powered tools have come a long way from their first iterations, especially over the past few years. I've started making the switch away from gas-powered equipment throughout the last few seasons for my business and have found the switch to be positive for my workflow and bottom line. This is a trend I believe will continue as batteries become more powerful and long-lasting. Are you utilizing any battery-powered equipment and, if so, do you have any favorites you'd like to share??Equipment Parts
So i have a question for all of you out in business. Do you ever buy parts or tools that you use in bulk to have on hand? I keep a could bins of old used parts that I know i still can use of models of the same equipment. But recently when I buy a new part for a certain problem. Not only do i buy the one I need but I also buy a couple extra. Same goes for a certain tool, if its something we use alot, we buy extra, to keep on hand. So i would like to see if any body else does this.

So, as a general contractor, framing, cabinetry, finish carpentry, flooring, and painting as my trades, I am looking into a new form of construction.

Hello everyone, I just wanted to introduce myself on the community page. My name is Douglas Mack, I'm the owner and operator of D. Mack Lawn Care Services, LLC in the upstate of SC. I'm new to Jobber. I'm slowly switching from Square. I trying to get to know Jobber features. Later, I will be adding on other features but not right now only because I'm paying for another CRM. If there are any advice you guys have, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks
