Environmental contamination is another possibility where vehicles are not inspected frequently for proper maintenance. Any source of pesticide leaks from the vehicle, whether dilute material or concentrate, may result in soil or water contamination. Always carry spill control equipment on board. Inevitably, accidents do happen and your response will, in large part, determine the extent of the problem. If a spill occurs, first remove any persons exposed to the material from the source of contamination, treat them, and then contain and absorb the pesticide.
Fleet vehicles can be an important tool in terms of acquiring and keeping customers.
Rigs that are stained with pesticides, have granules and dirt in the bed, carry old and poorly serviced application equipment, or simply present an unkempt appearance do nothing to secure customer confidence in your business. Fleet vehicles can say quite a lot about the capabilities of their owner. Along those same lines, your rigs represent a sizeable investment. The simple act of a regular inspection can increase their useful life and their value to you. Advertise your company proudly.
