I know some work out of a PU but for residential service calls I would recomend something bigger like a 12' box truck or step van. You never know what you need so it's good to have a good inventory.
There are so many electrical items that cost less then $1. If you don't have it you can waist an hour or more for that 1 thing. Or you find it but pay dearly for it. Things like trim plates, devices, garvins, finish blanks, fittings, screws, bolts, lags, togals, & cauck.
