odd idea

[Frontier-Lawn]

yesterday i was catching up some lawns from mon/tues bad weather, and i say a big named (county only) company towing a long enclosed trailer with a old ambulance. they stopped at a house and out popped 4 guys out the rear and 2 in the front. my question is has anyone ever thought of doing something like this.

A little confused on your statement. I think I get the gist of it. But no I have not seen the likes yet. Could you please explain your thoughts and experience with that issue better? Thanks Frontier

its a used Ambulance and the inside was gutted of the EMT stuff. seats were added. and repainted for there company colors. plus they had the outside compartments used for misc hands tools and equipment.

There is a company here in Lewisville that I've seen operating out of a yellow school bus...not a full sized bus, but a short-bus.

Seems like it would work great, it would just be odd looking having an old ambulance as a work truck.

I have thought about converting an old ambulance to pull my race car trailer around with. It is just like a cube van when gutted, but all the shelves are there. I have also thought about taking all the seats out of a large old bus and building ramps. This way I can drive the car up and in the bus, so there would no more trailer. I don't have the time or the money right now to do it, but maybe some day. The ambulance idea would work, but I would much rather have a dump or pickup truck. I think and ambulance would be far less versatile.

There are a few guys using old ambulances for work trucks, not for lawn/landscape use though. One is a plumber, and the other is some sort of window convering store. Personally, I have never considered using one. However, I bet you could get an old ambulance cheap.

i've seen a few companies that use them for grounds maintenance trucks bush trimming, weeding, and etc. Probably works pretty good for those types of things other then that i dunno

Yeah i think the name Lawn Medic's or the like would work good...

You'd be noticed!!!

I have thought of doing that, for the people who call on Friday afternoons, "it needs mowing NOW!"
Come sliding in sideways, with the sireens going, Green lights flashing...
"Lawn Emergency"
Four guys jump out, trim the shrubs, mow the lawn, whatever... jump back in... BAM, done...
But then again, I've got better things to do on a Friday afternoon...:drinkup:

Can they really be taken serious? To each his or her own.
