Ive been a shop mech.Loved it heat it winter ,cool in summer ,no hot parking lots, no pissy customers.A road tech has to be a pr man ,a supervisor and a repairman all in one.When an office flunky over bills or double bills,Both has happened,Yea I know it never happens there.My state must be the only one, every dealer and independent here has done this.A road mech has to deal with it.He ,not the sales or Pr or anyone but him, is the face of the company.Now back to subject.I wont drive 1.5 hrs to work a job, but my company wants me that far away.Now if my time started at the customer they could take this van and shove it. I always thought the biggest reason they didnt want vans at the shop was one good break in and they would be out of business for days till the mechanic, technician , engineer, tobie got new tools. Just a thought I own my truck that I have to pay insurance on Reguardless if I have a company van or not so cut that out of your 8000
