Vehicle Signage

One of the biggest pet peeve's of mine is other LCOs that don't have signage on their vehicles. I like to see who's out there, and appreciate it when an LCO takes the time to identify themselves. It makes them look a lot more professional. And I'm always looking for other Lawn Site people. No offense, but I see these guys with no signage on their vehicles and I think "scrub". It makes them look less professional, and more like some redneck with a lawnmower. And I think it gives us all a bad name. People see that any goofball with a mower can do the job, and it takes the professionalism out of the business. All I do is put magnetic signs on my truck, but it still identifies me. They cost less than $100 for a pair. Plus, it's major advertising!

So I'm starting a campaign to get everyone identified!

 

Sorry,You won't see me with any signage.Nope, no scrub either.
I'd rather choose the people I want to deal with rather than them choosing us.JMO.

 

So you don't ever advertise, or respond to requests for estimates/bids?

And beyond that, don't you want to identify yourself and your work?

I always think people that don't identify themselves have something to hide. Not you, just people in general.

 

Appearance is a big factor when I do biz. with someone I agree with mtd. I like signage. I just had a big one professionally done for the back of my trailer (tailgate) that I'd show but I have know digital camera.

 

you need special insurance on your trucks in my area.plus even if its a 1/2 ton truck it needs commercial plates

 

heres one of mine

 

Obviously we quote jobs,But they are always referred by someone we already know or do business with.Just picked up a number of properties from someones partner who we've been maintaining a house for.He is impressed with what we are doing.
It works for us.......probably not for everyone though.

 

No signs on my truck here - Not a redneck (at least no wheels on my house )- with a ton of equipment behind me and I am usually pretty busy- I consider my self a Srub- But I am a part timer-

Most of the work I get is through word of mouth

 

mtdmaster, It's the law in some states. Like here in Michigan.
I didn't have any last year and it cost me $250 for the ticket. Alot of places don't enforce the law. But watch out.

 

MOOSE-
What is the weight of your rig? I live in Davison just north of you and have never had a Problem with no signs. I have an open trailer (light weight). What did the ticket say was the violation?
