Sounds like a plan man!
 My friend just picked up a Ford van with aSpitfire 3.2 (500hrs) for $2600.00 man what a deal. He also has 1 Mytee portable and a walk behind he's been using and keeping for backup.  |

It sounds like TM's are the best route to go. However, I am just starting out and have not got that much cash for a huge investment that it takes to get a TM so I am looking at portables. So far the Rotovac start up kit looks good. Any other suggestions.

I lifted and heaved a portable around for many years, it caused me to blow out 2 disks in my back, to the point where I can't do a full day of carpet cleaning anymore, I'm only 37. My techs do the work, I supervise and can do a limited amount of cleaning, our truck mounts are a life and back saver. Potables have their place, but if you are going to grow your operation, portables are Workman's Compensation problems waiting to happen, as well as less productive if you are doing a reasonable volume of jobs in a given day.

 Your hourly rate is higher  .
Customers pay for the gas. You add it into the bid. So your not
using more gas. Your Van is your gas guzzler not the TM.
Everyone's needs and wants are different..

I used a portable for 10 years, I have had a truckmount for 6 months. I will never go back to a portable....never never never never. That being said, My Cross American porty is an important part of my business, Its a great machine and love it, Eddie V is a great guy to boot....I use it for upholstery and high rise jobs.
My TM has tripled my productivity and has made my life so much easier. I will stay in this business for the rest of my life. Call me crazy...I love carpet cleaning! especially when you have a bad ass TM that impresses the hell out of people |

I love my porty only because I don't have a truckmount. I don't have a truckmount because I don't need it and because I don't do any residential carpet cleaning. I clean carpets only in commercial buildings and very often I clean the areas that are not on the 1st floor. So, basically I don't even need a truckmount.
