New Hampshire contractor Steve Berger is — like the state he lives in — somewhat of a nonconformist by his own admission.
For example, his truck, a 2005 Mitsibuishi 14- by 8-foot box truck that’s uncommon in the HVAC industry, is large enough to store the average service tech’s van inside. The size enables a huge inventory that eliminates time-consuming trips to the wholesaler. Plus, the truck outfitter installed a roof-mounted hydraulic aerial lift bucket — also uncommon in the industry — that permanently eliminates carrying heavy equipment and tools up and down ladders and saves job time.
