Do you use your truck for business?

Not commuting, but in a business capacity that would be impractical without a truck IE moving, towing, mobile work space, pool guy.

If so, what do you do?

 

I do high end audio video. Bed is always filled with two ladders, couple of tool boxes, and a couple of boxes of wire. I could work out of a car if I had to, but the truck is definitely nice when hauling around equipment racks and TVs. And it's still my personal truck as well so on the weekends the bed gets empty of tools and filled with camping gear.

My Land Cruiser and Tacoma are all IRS section 179 heavy vehicle deduction

For the purpose of this thread, um yes they are of course used for business purpose 100% of the time

 

I do ! Am a Radio Broadcast Engineer, drive my Taco about 20K/Year for WSU as well as commercial clients. Up gravel roads to mountain top transmitter sites weekly. Have a Snug Top canopy with Ladder Racks. The perfect machine for my line of work. Clay

 

Not anymore afraid CPS will fail and strand my clients

 

Thanks smitty, always nice to hear from you. Lol

Plus, since I have the bedcover/mat combo, I can drive 3 clients around in the "Texas Taxi" to grab BBQ and they can be comfy since they just toss their luggage in the bed.

 

I teach wilderness rescue classes. At least a couple days a week, the bed/shell is full of rescue gear to haul to a training site.

 

Uber...

Just kidding I'm not a chauffeur.

 

I never thought the Tacoma would make a good work truck unless you're an Orkin man or a pool guy. I'm gonna learn how uber works because it sounds like you just drive people around and they give you money.

 

Gardeners love tacos too

 

Yes.

I drive my SR for business 100% of the time. I install DirecTV dish Network and Hughes internet. The truck was a year old in April and have 65,000 on it. Haul about 800 lbs of equipment every day.

 

Not me, but I see them more and more in my commute. Usually pool guys and exterminators with fleets. The exterminator make me sad because they have the unpainted front bumpers which cheapens the look of fine truck.

 

Similar to me, mostly commercial hotel cable installations. Nearly all my gear and tools I ever carry fits in a Weather Guard drawer toolbox. When carrying the equipment racks and boxes for a full install we use a larger Econoline van.

Drawer fits nice with a little bit of space on sides and near tailgate and is hidden away by tonneau cover.

Live in Houston and DirecTV uses new base model tacomas, there's also a natural pest control company that has a fleet of tacos

 

I use my truck for work in a light capacity. I'm a field supervisor in commercial construction that often self-performs work. My truck is used primarily for personal tools but will occasionally have some material or company equipment along for the ride.

 

Similar situation for me.
