Talking with the wife about a new vehicle in a few months (OK, probably '06, but I can dream) - debating a 3/4 or 1 ton service body ("pickup truck" with compartmented rear, possibly with cap), an EWB 3/4 or 1 ton van, or... a bucket truck.
No, not one of the big 7500 series trucks with a 65' stick, something more like a used cable/telco rig with a shorter arm. Seen 'em mounted on service bodies as well as vans. Figure it would be convenient as heck for service (overhead drop) work and high mount floodlights.
Wondering what kind of certifications are required on aerial equipment. Also, haven't talked to my insurance company yet for estimates - that might be the death knell there.
Figured I'd ask around, so here I am... whaddya you guys (and girls) think?
