Pesky, we own 7 vans ( because they hold two and a half times more equipment than a pick-up ) Does this mean we're going out of business like owns, Owens, OhWins? ( Also, the ladder racks are better )
Actually, unless you own a full-sized pick-up, my wife can get more stuff in her Toyota Sienna; like a four by eight sheet of plywood.

Pesky, everyone asks that question so I'll answer as best I can. I drive the smallest van which can also be the smelliest if you let it. I don't expect my employees to put up with anything that I wouldn't tolerate, so here goes.
1. With the exception of squirrels, which are not an odor problem, we transfer our animals to clean cages. This eliminates 90% of the problem. Here's a good example: I caught three foxes this morning and left the cages that they got caught in at the job. You increase your chances of success if your cage already contains the odor that your target animals are familiar with.
2. By tomorrow morning, my truck is going to smell like the inside of a fox den. I have a bottle of the odor remover that we use at customer's houses, right in the driver's side door pocket. If that odor remover doesn't work sufficiently in my truck, then we shouldn't be using it and it's time to find another brand. If the odor isn't pleasant to you, why would you want the customer to put up with it?
3. Although caged animals don't often urinate or defaecate in the back of a vehicle, it does happen. Cleaning and sanitizing is always a good idea. Foreign odors are not helpful in a pick-up either. I realize that we may have to take a little more time to keep our vans clean, compared to pickups. We have a lot of extra time to do that because we didn't have to run back to the office to get something; it's all in the van!

I'm in a truck now but Paul is right the van is easier to organize and carry a lot of tools and equipment and protect your stuff from prying eyes or fingers. I think I will always keep a truck for towing and getting off the road. My next vehicle will be a dodge sprinter with the utility body.

3. Although caged animals don't often urinate or defaecate in the back of a vehicle, it does happen. It sure does! - especially in my trucks. When they see the back door of my truck, they think "Oh, boy - a bathroom! Now I can drop that load I've been carrying for three days!"
