What Would You Think Of A Company Uses This For A Work Truck?



sorry about the quality, all I had was my camera phone.
it's a local company, and they have several trucks, all painted the same way, bright orange, with what appears to be house paint and a paint brush, and the company name hand painted on the side of the truck. It seems like they are successful, considering I see their trucks all over, but it seems like a rather unprofessional way of doing business. What does anyone else think?

They just ran out of room to finish the slogan. The entire company slogan is:

We do anything...half-ass at best.

Just because you see their trucks all over, doesn't really mean their successful, just means they haven't been through those homeowners that would actually hire someone like them, haven't run out of money yet, or haven't yet been sued by a homeowner for screwing something up.

Yeah, it's a cute little truck for weekend play, but not something I would want to project a professional image with in the construction/service trades.

it looks weird, but you never know, they could have a big following, and they could do quality work.

It's one step up from the hacks who have no licensing info., or other pertinent information displayed on their vehicles.

It may be like my dad, he sees a old short school bus, old ambulence, or old little motor home and says that would make a nice work truck.

He does good work but no way in hell would I hire somone who drives a old motor home or school bus.

Re: What Would You Think Of A Company Uses This For A Work Truck?


Screw their clients, can you imagine the type of employees those trucks attract? I can just imagine every workman showing up drunk at their jobs. It is a fun looking truck though, would be better for a demolition company

Well, I guess they DO do anything!

They do anything so they may have to drive across a mud bogging pit to get to your house.
