Outfit Your Service Trucks for Success
Outfitting your
technicians for success is more than having the right parts. Here are the 7
things you should remember to have on hand: The “Non Standard” List
- Clean, dry socks (look, there’s nothing worse than wet feet)
- Knee pads (give ‘em a break!)
- Backup Gatorade (a quick hit of sugar and electrolytes)
- Protein Bars (snack time on the go)
- Branded door hangers (“sorry we missed you!”)
- Branded stickers with your phone number or QR code (to put on those controllers)
- An extra pair of sunglasses.
But of course, there’s some clutch equipment that you shouldn’t forget about as well
- Wire tracker/fault tracer (like the Armada 900D)
- A multi-tool that’s right for you (like the King Irrigation I-tool)
- Valve box pump (you can go old school with a manual utility hand pump , or get crazy with a drill operated one )
- A good mud-releasing shovel (Seymour Midwest makes a good one)
- A universal controller key ring (like the Uni-Key )
- and don’t forget a riser extractor!
