I've had enclosed trailers before but they were always used for material runs and jobsite storage. I always kept the bulk of my tools on my truck.
Well my work has changed. I'm doing alot of 1-2 day projects, sometimes a week long job. I'm not sitting up shop for months at a time like I used too.
Back in the winter I bought a 12 footer which has proved to be the perfect size to jump from job to job. It fits in the cramped residential driveways that are common here and has been a joy to work out of.
It is a true "tool trailer" and the majority of my tools have migrated into it. Now I can't work without it. I take it everywhere! :laughing:
A couple months ago instead of getting a brush and roller out of the trailer I pulled the entire thing close to 100 miles one way to paint a couple rooms. Worked out great because I picked up some interior trim work and had the tools already on site. :thumbsup:
Then I went to change an exterior door and ended up with a deck job with all the tools already on site. :thumbsup:
Bid some drywall repairs, showed up with the trailer. The neighbors happened to walk by while I had the ramp down. They saw the table and miter saw and decided that I was the guy to do custom shelving in their pantry. :thumbsup:
Went to bore some doors for deadbolts. Took the trailer. A $300 job turned into a $1000 job because I had tools onsite. :thumbsup:
Went to bid a job building a shed last week. Took the trailer for the bid! Homeowner asked what I was hauling so I opened the door and showed her. She noticed the tile saw, now I have a 1780 sq/ft tile job.
:thumbsup:
I love my trailer, it's already paid for itself in extra jobs.
