    Shows up in a 100K vehicle, probably not great with money and gonna over charge on the work.

      When I was a kid my grandparents had a ~30 year old truck for farm work that had part of the floorboard rusted out, and it was almost certainly a better truck (it could handle farm work, for one). Also probably less likely to trap anyone inside it and burn them to death.

    I… what tips and tricks does this person think they’re going to get? You either sell the car, or you stop bringing it with you. There’s no third option. Is disguising it a third option? Wrap it in a little rubber chicken costume?

    People would ask questions like this in reddit AMAs all the time, too, and I just don’t understand the impulse to ask strangers online before you’ve thought about it yourself even a little bit.

      Those are the obvious practical options but the real solution to this problem is to firstly embrace the notion that people with differing views to yours are not necessarily idiots and secondly make a genuine attempt at understanding why customers could find a mere choice of vehicle abhorrent enough to choose another roofer.

      I mean, when customers are leaving, it’s a great time to learn more about your market and in the attempt you might grow as a person.

    All dumpsterness aside, it just looks like fuckin amateur hour with that decal on the door compared to the truck you can see parked in front of it. And I’m pretty sure the decal is slightly misaligned.

      it’s likely that the decal is straight, but the door is misaligned

    If you’re a roofer and think the CT is the “best truck ever”, then that tells me you never do any work and sub contract to actual roofers.
