However, one vital component to a small business model that many entrepreneurs unintentionally neglect is a business-owned vehicle. Why Do You Need a Commercial Vehicle?

  The Refrigerated Transport Market is expected to reach 3.25 billion tons by 2022. Businesses around the world rely on temperature controlled storage when shipping their goods.   In some cases, it even comes down to a legal obligation. Bakeries, florists, grocery stores and pharmaceutical companies require climate control vans and trucks to bring quality products to happy customers.

Their best method for transporting perishable items that needed to stay cold was to pack ice and salt underneath and around them in train cars.  Of course, this wasn’t the most effective method and a lot of the cargo was damaged. However, it did pave the way for other methods of refrigerated transportation to be created in the 1900s. The temperature-controlled vehicle industry has continued evolving through the years and is more efficient than ever before. Now is the perfect time to get ...

Fixing a broken Sprinter antenna The radio antenna on Sprinter vans is badly placed and flimsy. It’ll break if you drive under low branches, wash the van, or let snow build up over it. Luckily, if it snaps off at the base, there’s a fix. I had read about people breaking their Sprinter antenna off. I thought it must take some effort, but then I did the same thing when I was washing the van. I just knocked it with a soft bristle brush and it snapped straight off. The antenna/aerial is made of flexible wire, but the base is a rigid plastic. That plastic must be either really thin or really fragile, because it breaks very easily. My antenna, and others I’ve seen, seem to break off while still attached to the metal insert in the plastic base. After 2 weeks of evaluating the available vans  work van shelving  and compiled all the options into a spreadsheet that rated each van based on the following: Vehicle Type: Ford vs Mercedes vs Other. Size: 144 wheelbase vs 170 wheelbase v...
