Traveling for Work

Handyman Pros Radio Show

Working as a handyman on the road can be both exciting and challenging. Here are some concerns you might want to consider:

1. Where will you stay: Working from the road does require accommodations, sleeping in the truck is generally not the best option!

2. What is in the area you are working: Where can you obtain food, supplies, lumber, etc.

3. Tools and Equipment: Transporting tools and equipment can be cumbersome, especially if you're constantly on the move. Ensuring you have the right tools for the job and keeping them organized and secure while traveling is essential.

4. Logistics: Managing logistics such as scheduling appointments, coordinating with clients, and navigating to different job sites can be complicated when you're constantly on the road. Utilizing scheduling software and mapping apps can help streamline these processes.

5. Work-Life Balance: Being on the road for extended periods can take a toll on your personal life and relationships. It's essential to find a balance between work and leisure time to avoid burnout and maintain your well-being.

6. Safety: Safety should always be a top priority. Working in unfamiliar environments or on job sites with potentially hazardous conditions can increase the risk of accidents. Make sure you have the necessary safety gear and knowledge to handle any situation that may arise.

7. Legal and Licensing Requirements: Depending on the areas you work in, you may need to comply with different legal and licensing requirements for each location. Make sure you're familiar with local regulations and obtain any necessary permits or licenses to operate legally.

8. Insurance: As a handyman working on the road, you'll need to ensure you have adequate insurance coverage for both yourself and your business. This may include liability insurance, vehicle insurance, and health insurance.
