We are in the Houston area and 651 and simular intermediates work fine for 4-5 years for work trucks. We save cast for long term 5+ years vehicles or wraps or partials with multi color.
Here is how I decide to buy equipment that I currently or previously subbed out.
Total cost of subed work for 2 years equals the cost of the equipment. If you can't pay off the equipment in 2 to 3 years, either start with used or continue to sub.
Build a box big enough for 1 case of each bulb size. We carry 3-10ft lamps, MH and LED MH replacements. Yes it costs to stock but save so much time.
The orange truck has everything we need. I only buy 10ft+ beds due to hauling signs, may take longer to find a truck but we'll worth it.
Deposits up front. I had a recent job were I got a 2 location full sign package but the GC called me out when the subs did not have their parts ready for us, so they became 100%. Just emailed corporate for a sales rep asking me to do a project, but no PO no deposit , so there is no work...
When I bought this company we had a Roland vs300, 30" It is soo much easier to get a 54" there are dealers selling off lease items in your budget. You can always buy 30" rolls but the 5ft wide capability is needed unless you really don't want much business.
I have 4dr 8ft bed F350 with pipe rack with expanded metal over the cab so we can walk on it as scaffolding. I am able to get 5'2" sheets in the rear and anything wider I throw on the top. My bucket trucks have to be the 10ft service bodies to carry to the tools and larger pylon signs. Also...
Those guys just change out commonly burnt out pie:es and don't troubleshot. He sent me back a mother board last year and said it was fixed. It wasnt. He tried again. Again it wasnt. He has diagnostic equipment. Ahahaha ha sure he does.

Everyone is doing all the same work ? What makes you different from the competition?
For us we have 2 legitimate companies in town, 3 others that are struggling because they don't have the full mix of talent and business acumen and then 4 doing vinyl out of the garage. I have 2 bucket...
Black window trim/rubber, it will not stay unless you ruin the stuff with gobs of primer. I have also learned that small adhesion area is exactly that, less to grip equals less grip = fall off. Maybe others have had better experience and are better wrappers than me but I don't put my name on...
We used to outsource our installs till the 2 man shop who did the work went out of business. I bought a 35 ft 1999 chevy. When i was a 2 man shop. Put another 2k in parts into it over the next 2 years but now it runs 3+ days per week and I have 3 full time and part time employee. If you are in...
The other night I was on a link where there were the premade CAD drawing for sale. I saw it on my phone as I was going to sleep, so I hope I was not dreaming. Any help would be greatly appreciated and could be a good resource for the community also.
Thanks,

For 6 grand after parts you cam have my Roland vp540 and have both in one unit. It needs a few parts but I don't have the room for it that is the only reason I have not got it back online. No space in my 300 ft shop.
I make goofy shooting target and such for fun. The profile needed is billboard on your banner setting. You want to lay down the least amount of ink as possible.
We even have issues with the solvent paper taking the solvent paper profile. So paper is all on billboard speed. I have a Roland...
