Message: <blockquote data-quote="tristan" data-source="post: 13336" data-attributes="member: 30">we have looked at this many times.it really comes down to the size of the operation and what your sites and traveling distance is like.trucks are very very expensive to buy and expensive to maintain. plus the need for HT license. also lifting gear because truck decks are so much higher. hand loading trucks sucks.huge amount of capital tied up doing nothing. i know some crowds that have other businesses and can share the trucks. also trucks are slow, most of the small 4wd trucks are made for other countries where they don't go fast and don't need the power. utes are fine when used within their limits. the no1 problem is idiot staff who thrash the crap out of them. 2nd problem is poorly setup. cheap corner cutting trailers, poorly designed decks and then very commonly overloaded and driven hard.</blockquote>
