Cadillac CTS. Two Telesteps, a 14.5' and a 12.5', both widestep versions. 27 mpg. Comfortable and fast. Clients love the ladders.

Not often anyway.

Actually I do roofs, attics, crawls, and an occasional inspection for referrals from previous clients.

Mostly I do insurance inspections, and those have been a little slow lately.

And I drive a '98 F150 standard cab, and I carry my ladders inside with me--unless I need the tall ones.

I use the pick-up bed mainly for garden supplies, such as dirt, mulch, etc.

I like my Chevy Avalanche. All my equipment and two ladders fit nicely and everything is protected from the rain....

Here's my assistant parking it for me. A new GM model. It's called "The CBI" (Change you can Believe In).

I would be out of business within a year using a car for inspections.

Jae, you sound a lot like me. My kids borrow my truck more often than I can count, for who knows what...
but I'm glad I have it.
One of the more useful tools in the business, and outside the business...

I totally agree with that Steven.
I could not exist without a truck.
They ride like a car anyways. Well, except the 250's and the 350's

2002 Chevy Avalanche

212,000 miles

16 MPG combined

Still has original brakes, like new call for pricing.

Joel, is it all dessert driving in NC with no stop signs and no traffic?

My work miles is all highway and average 42,000 miles a year, but 90,000 miles on a set of brake pads is all I could get.

What's your secret?
