#MAC TOOL TRUCK FRANCHISE SALT LAKE MAC#
Good luck.I had a Mac Tool distributorship from 1984 to 1993, went to Snap-On on a equipment truck from 1993 to 1999, all in Dallas. From what I understand a lot of the high volume route for a tool companys are the company owned non franchise routes. Usually she would drive a separate truck he had and sold roll away tool boxes and delivered them. His wife who was hot and good looking ran it several days a week with him. New one guy that had a fairly good route. So most routes are going to be average to small profit for the average franchisee. This eliminates the big payout for the individual franchisee. They provide the truck and inventory and hire some one hourly to run it with a small commission on sales. However lately it seems as Mac and Snap On are making these type of situations non franchise corporate owned routes. You can sit on site for two days a week at each location. Like one person mentioned if you have very large customers like airlines or manufacturers that give tool allowances or have tool accounts for employees and pay you directly its a gravy train. High density short trips between shops is better than rural routes where you have long drives between small shops. Have known several Mac and Snap On salesman in different areas. Good Mechanics at a busy shop make good money. I'm a retired Nissan Master Tech and made 100k a year as a Team Leader. My Snap-On box cost me $12,000 and is 12ft long (I started with a Craftsman Box and worked my way up by trading in, and upgrading ever couple years, as I needed bigger boxes because of getting more tools) it's never ending. I had a unlimited truck account with him. My Mac Tools guy was with me my entire career.
He stated that is how they sell the tools that are over 1000.00 dollars or more. My Snap-On man complained about this all the time. will send and bill you for High end tools that you never ordered. There is no finance charges on the truck accounts.Ģ- the Tool Co. and if you give them a "Truck Account", you only get the retail price from the tools sold. A lot of techs move around from shop to shop and sometimes can be hard to find to collect your funds. I wrenched for over 20 years at the same dealership and got to know the tool guys pretty well.ġ- You finance the techs up to a certain amount and if you don't, you won't sell any tools. These things tank in value worse that a new Land Rover.
#MAC TOOL TRUCK FRANCHISE SALT LAKE PLUS#
By the way, got the green box for $3500.00 plus a $350.00 wrecker fee (100 miles) and another $300.00 to strip, plane and refinish the 2 inch maple top. And some of those guys are really good at dodging the tool guy. Although I'm sure it would be financed through Mac, you would be responsible for chasing that mechanic for his payments.
New today off the truck it would probably be in the $18,000.00 range. Bought the green one off of Craigslist from a ex Toyota mechanic. Nice guy but after he retired the next guy lasted only a few months and haven't seen a Mac guy around southeast Texas for the better part of ten years now. Mac dealer at the time was an older guy nearing retirement who rode around with his wife and their ankle biter dog. Traded in a big Matco box for my blue one when it first came out back around 1998. Dumbfounded at what these things cost these days. Have a blue triple bank bottom box and this green one with upper hutch, wood top and side locker.
