Why Your Truck Setup Is Costing You More Than You Think

Yo,
If you’re in the home service game, your trucks are the lifeblood of your operation. But if you’re not running them right, you could be throwing serious cash down the drain.
This week, we’re diving into how your truck setup could be secretly costing you more than you think—and how to fix it fast.

Choosing the Right Truck Setup
This week on the podcast, we spoke about truck set ups and how streamline your fleet.
If your trucks are cluttered with unused parts and overstocked inventory, you're not just losing space—you’re losing money.
Think about it: every extra screw, O-ring, or box of fittings sitting unused is cash tied up and rolling around in your fleet.
Here’s the fix:
Structure: Create a structured truck stock system with a warehouse as your central hub.
Assignments: Assign min-max inventory levels for each truck and lock down purchases to approved buyers only.
Prepare: Go the extra mile with packout kits—preassembled kits with everything your team needs for specific jobs. These eliminate the need for excess truck stock and ensure your team is always prepared without overloading your inventory.
Trust me when I say this system is GOLD.
The payoff is thousands $$$ saved on unnecessary inventory. That means better operations and more efficient teams.
Plus, every dollar you save on truck setup is a dollar you can reinvest into growing your business.
