I install and maintain telephone systems. I was recently moved from a Ford Econoline Van to a 2006 Scion xB for service work. The xB was used by another employee in a different market until he left us a year ago. It's just been sitting in the parking lot at the office since then. The Ford was old, high mileage, and needed some work that the powers that be decided wasn't worth doing. It's been a challenge to figure out what I really need to carry to do my work properly, and to be able to get to tools and supplies. I ended up removing the back seat, putting up a "wall" just in front of the rear deck, and a flat floor behind the front seats. On the hatch side of the wall, I put up some shelves for plastic boxes of supplies, and bins for tools. I can stack boxes of phone system components to take to an installation in the back, get to materials and tools through the hatch, and throw a couple of ladders on the roof rack.
