And I certainly don't mean what kind of car they drive. I mean how well it's kept as far as tool organization . If they have stuff haphazardly all over the place, are they a disorganized employee? Can you say the opposite for a well kept vehicle?
Can You Judge a Worker by Their Vehicle?

Depends when i organize van it looks OK despite being an 01 ram van .
But when I am busy and tired at the end of a productive day I tend to throw everything in the back and go home.
If I have a early day I will reorganize
I will say I am far more efficient when everything is where it belongs
But I Would say look at his work habits,attitude and quality First because you can t always judge a book by its cover

I have very little respect for a guy that works out of a mini van. The tools are always just thrown in the back. It's been my experience these are the guys always wanting to borrow tools.

If I didn't organize properly, I would not be able to keep track of everything I have or need for the job as well as I can when I'm organized. I make a better carpenter when I can use my day thinking about my work vs. Where things are or rather or not I even brought it.

I can see both sides here, might lean to one side? If he has a truck/van, worker! A, car, I would be looking into things. Some GREAT are great! But ya need a truck to do the work! I have had ALL of the above!!!! My truck, is messy, cluttered, a MESS! BUT!!! I will say this, and don't want to pi$* anyone off, But to me " a clean truck, is someone that has to much free time on their hands" I don't have time/nor the money for a car wash!

I don't like vans at all. We have truck boxes and trailers.

I agree.
BUT, on days or weeks I work 15 hours or 90 hours, the box and cab look good...... the bed looks like chit. Wheel barrows, beam saw, chain saw, auger, trash...... ect...
That was friday. Hence I had like two posts this week before yesterday.

I get to make the rules, I don't work weekends. I suddenly got slammed the last week and the weeks ahead. I still don't work weekends. Probably because of what I do. I have no other trades behind me. My HO's like to have there weekends without construction as well.

I rarely work weekends on projects. I cleaned my truck out, moved material around in my equipment/material yard and painted the new steel gates I built for it while my daughter played in my sand pile yesterday.
Then I shot a pig. Now there is a blood stain in the bed, have to wash it out tomorrow.

During hunting season my truck is a bit of a mess but my trailer and job sites are ALWAYS neat, very well organized, and clean. Can't work efficiently otherwise.
