Should I purchase a van or truck for my company?

I am looking at a potential second vehicle for my electrical company.

I have always thought trucks were the way, I started in the oilfield 20 years ago and that all there was. So now I am trying to decide on the potential benefits of a van.

It seems easier to manage and control tools and material, but seems like it may be a large vehicle to handle, especially the height.

Curious to hear about your past experiences!

    We have a 9' van and love it! It's tall and does mean you can't pull into most garages, but if that's not an issue for your location (isn't really where we are), then I think it's the better option. We sourced an old amazon van which had built in shelving and makes it nice for organizing our supplies.
