I have used truckmounts on several ocasions and really i don't care for them that much.When i'm done a job i just put windshield washer in the pump of my portable to prevent freezing and also have a heater in the back of my van.It still pi$$es me off to see these certified firms lowball everybody else.Do you ever see a doctor lowballing on a throat operation?Of corse not they are getting paid for the time they spent being educated so if we are IIRC certified why shouldn't we get paid for our education and the changes we have to keep up with in this industry.The same is also true for fire and water damage restoration.

Yeah yeah all about money i see so many firms that are IICR certified in their flyers why do they charge less then for being certified?Of course you have to clean fast to pay for your gas etc for tm's.The carpets are no cleaner  the faster you,I'll stick with my portable and take shorter strokes thankyou,and have a repeat customer.

That is true portables will always have a place in the cleaning industry.How many 39 dollar jobs do you have to do a month to make your truck payment?

I don't do $39.00 jobs they are for the porty people?

I disagree there Doug they are for truckmount people.

I don't have to wonder where my payment is coming from because i don't have to do 39 dollar jobs as i don't own a truckmount.I make more money in this town than the fools competeing with other idiots that own truckmounts.
