Van stock?.............

[D00DY_T00DY]

Hi all,
My boss has bought me a little panel van(of course it's bright yellow, What else?)

Just wondering what you keep in the van as stock?
I'm thinking a pack of
BC ES lamps, pendants, spurs, couple boxes of sockets, 109.024yards of 1.5, 2.5 And 3core.
Various CBs(bet he'll be glad to get rid of some out the van)

Also how do you lot keep all your lamps intact in a van?

make sure your van insurance covers you for work.

It's not a personal van, it's a company van so it's all covered

First full day as a van driver

Turns out diesel throttles and petrol throttles are quite different. Screaming my car home from work. Oops

Let's see how laid back my insurance is with their black box lol

Talking about van stock - I managed a job today - 2 different lighting instals requiring trunking (had some D line) back boxes blanks then conduit run dual back box unswitched fcu all went a treat, I was finding things in my boxes to get the job done BUT no conduit CR box lid to finish - DOH. Had to trudge to the big orange shed to buy a new one.
Had a word with my wholesaler when I got back and bigged up B+Q for stocking CR boxes with lid, screws and a rubber gasket (all of which come separate at the wholesalers).
I do need a van though, Astra hatch is a tight squeeze. Roof rack on for a double ladder for tomorrow. It's fun this sparking game!

Not until a month 3rd year going on 4th at college. 2years and 3months into my apprenticeship.

Said he'd give me a pay rise of inbetween what I'm on now and what it'll be in july(when I turn 21) because I'm doing more on my own now

Just think RPA, it all adds to the fun of the job

I've never had a van in all the years I've been in the job.
Always had a Hatchback, Estate or 4x4 & never felt the need for anything bigger.
Best one so far has been a Mitzi Pajero long wheelbase.

I have no idea what cr trunking is

Conduit box with 1 exit - round lid missing to finish the job. Didn't even knock the door - got my ladder out, screwdriver fitted then packed up home!
Sorry a lot of words in last text - all to say 1 part missing!

I thought you meant an end box but you were talking about trunking

Sorry - 2 different lighting so 2 different methods. Sorry D00DY - I never mean to confuse you!
