    I like your idea. I actually salvaged a nice broken power washer from work. Spent $100 to get it fixed. If I don't use their water I would have to invest in a lot more like a generator, water tank, and pump but that could help do more jobs where a water faucet is not around. Thanks for throwing out constructive ideas, which was all I am asking.

    Just remember water weighs 8lbs per gallon.. it adds up quick, even on some 3/4 ton trucks. A couple of hoses on reels would be a little easier to manage. On top of that, you would also have to deal with the local water authority on filling your tank (paying for the water too). IMO if you're just wanting to make some extra bucks on the side, stick to jobs where there is a convenient water supply that you can use.

    Be a waiter. I did that as a second job years ago when I was a teacher.

    Not truck based but look at what your going to school for, get something that’ll further you in that field. Your school should have some sort of supports and guidance.

    Thank you for your service.

    Window washing is a low investment, any time, job possibility . I'm thinking outside but inside is possible too. New construction some times hire somebody to clean the windows before turning the house over for occupation. In this case, bid high because you will have to scrape every square inch with a razor blade before you can clean them right.
