What the easiest way to determine if a neighborhood has a no "door to door" soliciting for buisness policy?

Part time just starting out. Purchased a nice trailer and rig. Now i have to line up some more work so I can eventually go fulltime.

Ok so i have my Inc. set up and have been doing a lot of homework on a daily basis. really behind from where I wanted to be but i hope its not to late in the season to make money. I'm only planning on doing residential on the weekend keeping my full-time job until i have a good clientele basis built up to go full time. One thing i keep going back and fourth on is what size trailer to get a 6X12 or a 7X12(enclosed)? Obviously I prefer the larger size for its room but the smaller one is cheaper. The problem with the 6x12 one is that i will only be able to carry a 225g. leg tank, however with the 7x12 i can go with a 325g. leg tank. Is the extra 100gallons that important starting out or should i just go with the smaller trailer and smaller tank to save on the front end? I will be installing a 4.7GPM @3500PSI Landa PGDC5 just behind the leg tank over the axles of course.

The axles are 3500each so i think i should be ok. I welcome and thank you for the input Zach

Thanks for the advice Guy, Maybe I can ride with you sometime to see how the pros do it.

Jim, Thanks for the reply. The info you provided is invaluable and it has helped make up my mind to go ahead and spend the extra money now for the trailer with the better axle to load ratio. The horror stories of hearing of others losing there axles after hitting a pot hole was all i needed to reasure me that i was leaning the right way. 7x12 tandem here I come with Visa in hand. Thanks

Good evening all My names Jeff Southern and I'm still trying to figure out how to get started in the business. I'm wanting to make sure I do it the right way the first time. right equipment, enclosed trailer vs. open , right amount of insurance, etc. The site has already answered a bunch of questions and also has brought fourth new questions.

I was told by a Landa dealer that its a bad idea to have a hot water machine in an enclosed trailer because the unit just recirculates the carbon back into the engine causing undo stress on the machine. How do you handle the exhaust.
