Title: 2 in a van.
Post by: Jack Wallace on May 06, 2010, 05:04:14 pm

 I have always felt that 2 men working from a van (domestics) it not profitable so always send my guys out on their own.

Today my van went in for a service so I thought I would double up with my best lad.

We both worked hard all day, I was working at the same pace I normally do and I believe he was too. We never stopped to chat or had any extra tea breaks. We were careful to make sure we worked so that one was never stood around waiting for the other to finish, and we always parked in the most efficient place possible. So how come we never hit the same figures we would working alone?

Damned if I understand why.

More travel and set up time due to doing more work.  If you were on your own you would have traveled half as much.
