Our poor college car is a 2007 Saturn Ion. Bone stock. Bought it brand new in, well, 2007. Nothing fancy. Just an A to B car in every respect. The Xterra is basically our do all vehicle. But we don’t drive it much really. I think I’ve put 200 miles on it in the last 3 months. But the vehicle I drive daily, and receives virtually zero attention (aside from gratuitous jobsite pics for the company calendar) is my medallion. It’s my work truck. My money making machine. Well, it’s not mine, technically. But they gave me the keys to it years ago and I enjoy every gallon of free diesel fuel I pump into it. Having a work truck at home on the weekends is way nice. Anyway, here’s a few cool pics of my 2015 Ford F550 service truck. I take these for the company’s Facebook page. Cuz it’s such a diverse and interesting job.

And if keeping my Xterra spotless seems daunting, try keeping a service truck’s cabin clean. It’s a never ending battle some days.

Man I dig this. And that cabin is cleaner than any work truck ive ever been in!

Something about having one assigned to you. Makes you want to take better care of it.

Thanks. Yes the trucks in our department are pretty well kept up on. Our entire company takes pride in the cleanliness of the trucks, and encourages us to keep them cleaned up. She’s a little worse for wear, but I’ll probably be in this thing for another 50,000 miles, so it’s in my best interest to keep her in tip-top shape. Though, unless the wheels are completely trashed, I’ll probably take them and install them on my new truck if they will fit. Word on the street is they will be upgrading us to the F600 chassis with all-aluminum service bodies in the near future.

Okay, couple more pics to scratch the “you’re so vain” itch. Tried out some new satin tire shine and gave her a bath. And wouldn’t ya know it? As soon as I get this pig cleaned up, I see on my calendar that my first job tomorrow is in a quarry. Well, it was great while it lasted. ;)
