Keith Browning Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 This company just added their site to Diesel Mentor and I thought it is really cool idea. Switch N Go Probably not unique but I haven't seen it anywhere. I have one or two customers that use something similar but they only use dumpsters for landscaping. They load them up with equipment or supplies and drop them at a job and still have a truck to load another box onto and keep working. It is actually quite brilliant because you can diversify your equipment while owning and maintaining fewer trucks at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Amacker Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I know of several companies in our area using these. One is a furniture supply house (Levin's) that has multiple boxes for each truck and loads them while the other body is out on deliveries. It looks weird while they're being loaded- like the box is on jackstands or stilts in the yard, and then the truck comes back and switches boxes. Another is a local landscaper that has interchangeable bodies- I think they have a dump, a salter, and a seed blower IIRC. The govt' agencies also use removable bodies here- pulling the salters off in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 GOVERNMENT is a great target for these things! We could cut down on the number of trucks we taxpayers pay for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredsvt Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Keith... You forget we're in NJ. They'd rather have 10 trucks for 1 body and 5 guys sitting in each truck, reading newspapers, waiting for the truck using the body to come back so they can use it. The trucks will of course, be idling the whole time. They'll be waiting a long time as the other guys are sitting on the side of the road having their lunch break!
