I learned many many years ago, that people who boast about what they have.......... HAVE NOTHING.  That's what you have, if you want to prove me and this forum wrong, post a pic of your fantasy truck with this months front page of a newspaper, and let's check on your credibility.

Trust me, you don't want me to show proof of what I have or it will likely make you cry and feel like an internet jerkoff.

I think the difference between truck and portable is the only thing the customer knows.  Those who know want bigger and better, most want TRUCKMOUNT.  Most feel a portable is something they can rent themselves.

I can send you a pic but not the real thing, I don't play that much anymore but would never sell it, rather hang in on a wall and just look at it. I'll get a pic up on here soon.

Doug, Alexarz is not me, neither is Chay.....I know you think so, but I haven't pulled that trick in over a year.
 
By the way Doug, how is retirement.....are you keeping well.  Do you still do anything as far as work is concerned or just relaxing and working around the house. We all want to know what the King of the one-liners is up to. Or did you post just to add another feather in your 32,500 post hat. lol ( that's alot of posts )

Nightrider, first of all, your sentence structure is so absurdly deficient that I cannot understand some of what you are trying to say but let me address the part that is readable.
 
If I am such a dumb businessman, why am I one of the only survivors in my area since I moved here in 1995? Why don't you and I compare assets and net worth and see which one of us comes out ahead, Mr Know-it-all? Who even mentioned marketing? Do you honestly think that most customers care at all about the difference between a truckmount or portable? If one guy gets their carpet perfectly clean and it dries very quickly, do you think they are going to second guess what equipment he used? The fact is, performance between a truckmount and a high powered portable is close enough that other factors become more important.
 
My guess is that you are a typical blue collar grunt who is riddled with insecurities and quite possibly, runaway alcoholism. Your unprovoked rage is quite telling and I would be lying if I did not admit to enjoying the fact that I was the cause of this particular meltdown of yours.

Alexarz.....you're a  CLOWN Party Ganja,  you have No idea about business, No strategy on how to make money, and absolutely No concept of marketing. Sounds to me that you just wanted to make a post and impress everybody with your equipment and boast your verbal diarrhea while you chatter your teeth with fantasy and lies.
 
Only a fool would try cost cutting to make money, have you ever seen a chef sell off or don't use his kitchen equipment because it cost to much to operate to generate his business.
 
If you do have a Sprinter as a truckmount, I know you're a foolish businessman, but not using it and market business for it's operation and then posts a thread on KleenKuip that a portable makes you more money just confirms that you're an idiot without a clue of the world around you.

The drying times are not an issue. They are very close and you can use Airpaths to speed things up. On days when you have to move more quickly, it is better to use the truckmount but only if you are really slammed. The only significant advantage of the TM is set up and tear down time. With two people, it might add up to 20 or 30 minutes per job at the most. Think about all the weight in your van and the wear and tear that it causes. There are MANY advantages of a portable van setup and only one or two disadvantages.
