Currently, I have a 1-ton truck, with a utility body. Large as it is, you still can't carry anything even close to a full inventory. Plus, that truck is not the most maneuverable vehicle.
What is it exactly? Truck or van? What is the body like?
My rig (E350) is 20' long, 9'4" tall, 138" wheelbase, and the body is no wider than stock - just squared off. It is big, but because of the wheelbase and width, it drives small. Somewhere between a std. cab longbed and a supercab shortbed. (I don't think anybody considers those pickups large.)
Another electrical contractor acquaintance of mine got into one of the small cabovers (Isuzu or Mitsu-Fuso) with a narrow cube body. The have a really short wheelbase to help make it drive small.
Another idea is to find a "mule." That is, a small vehicle with a huge towing capacity, and haul a trailer around for work. When the trailer isn't needed, the 'mule' would suffice to run me around town.
I can't see that being effective for service work and <1-day jobs.

Just throw a Vespa in the back of your truck
Heh. I like that idea. Or a moped since they don't need registration, plates, or insurance.
