101 Ways to Deck Out Your Service Truck

A service truck doesn’t need to be boring. But this doesn’t mean sacrificing the functionality of the truck for aesthetic purposes either.

With a few practical customizations, you can make working with your service truck a tad easier, safer, and more efficient while also improving its appearance!

To top it off, your improved performance is sure to build loyalty and trust among your customers.

Aim for modifications that will optimize the workflow in your field!

Optimize Your Storage

A well-organized truck also allows you to reach any equipment you need easily, increasing your efficiency at work.

Customize the Lighting

Although most service trucks come with lighting, adding custom lights can improve your efficiency when working in poorly lit areas.

You don’t have to limit custom lighting to the exterior of your service truck either. You can add lighting to your cabinets and toolboxes to make locating your equipment a much easier task.
