I am looking at getting into the business and I am currently looking at equipment. I want to start off small doing decks, driveways, and aluminum siding...part time. Is there a book or a site that I can read how to setup the bed of my truck inorder to get started. I figured I would have a water tank and PW. Anything you can tell me would help.

Mike,
I would suggest doing all the research you can. Alot of manufacturers have free stuff. Wolman.com and Olympic.com and flood.com are few to start with. Some have informational free videos you can gain ideas from. You are on the right track just by being in this board. Ask questions, look up past posts, do keyword searches.
This is the place to get started. We all were in your shoes at one time and others helped us. Most if not all of us feel it is only right to share the knowledge.

Mike, What size truck do you have? Unless you have a one ton truck to mount a water tank in I would look into buying a trailer. With the type of jobs you have in mind you really don't need a water tank. Give me a call and I can help at 800-357-6295. If you are using a pickup and have a garage to keep it in I would mount the equiptment in the bed . With the right setup you would not have to unload any equiptment at the jobsite. The less time you spend setting up the more time you have to do the work.
