Sales Tip: Use the space on your truck strategically

Dec. 20, 2021
When organizing the tools and equipment on your truck, try to utilize every space available.

After picking up his new tool truck, Mac Tools dealer Dave Fulkman packed the truck full of tools – all organized and with a purpose, because that’s how this tool dealer likes it.

“I like to keep things very organized,” he says. “I don’t like clutter. As much as I try to pack it all in, I don’t like things unorganized.”

To help keep him organized, Fulkman utilizes pull-out drawers.

“I like pull-out drawers,” he says. “I have 12 pull-out drawers and they are all organized with wrenches, electrical, lighting, bit sets, […]. [This way] I’m able to fit more on the truck.”

He also uses every space strategically, including the ceiling.

“I can’t stand seeing a truck with a bare ceiling, so my ceiling is packed full,” he says. He has tools from mirrors and magnets to pick-up tools, scrapers, and pliers. “When you look up, it’s not just random,” he adds. “Everything has a purpose.”
