T BIRD Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 This is probably a silly question but I will ask it anyway. When I transport my machines to their locations, should I transport them full of candy or should I wait until I get the machine placed at the location? Just waitin' for 2 more Dentynes bringing my toal to 8 being placed this week.
philo Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 Johnny: I always transport mine full. Never really had a problem. Regards, Philo
antoniocinisi Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 mine are usually full,but my wife helps me. she drives while i sit in the back with my 8 selects,the 4 selects fit inside in the back of my ext.cab just right.
caserri Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 Mine are always full. Makes it easier to just run in, plunk it down, do a test vend and scoot. Steve
T BIRD Posted November 14, 2007 Author Posted November 14, 2007 Thanks folks. That clears that up......
AmuseStar Vending Co Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 Always full, sometimes my triples are empty,
Farmer_John Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 I haven't put one in for a while, but never full and never assembled on the rack. Try lifting a commission rack with stickers...full
T BIRD Posted November 14, 2007 Author Posted November 14, 2007 LOL.......I hear ya brotha. This NW 60 I have without candy right now is heavy enough for this 56 yo man........
dperry Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 I transport empty. Of course, I do door-to-door locating, so when I go out locating, I never know how many I will get located that day. If I took out 10 loaded gumball machines, and only place 5, then I would have to dump the gumballs back into the box. What I do is carry the heads in my back seat, and the pipe stands and bases in the trunk. I also have a large coleman ice chest to hold the bags of gumballs in the front seat. I add some cold packs to keep it cool. You need that for the Houston climate. When I find a location, I assemble the machine in the parking lot and fill it up and place it. I have a Chevy Cavalier, and I'm able to transport 10-12 machines at a time under those conditions.
timeman55 Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 I always transport my candy machines full. I also transport my capsule machines full. When I am moving sticker machines, (I use advance) I take out the col and then put them in the machine once I get the machine on location Tee
West Coast Vend LLC Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 I carry my triple-head machines empty with the base off the stand. It is easier to fit them in the back sit without the bases. When I get to the location I screw on the base, bring in the unit, take off the empty canisters, go out to the car or truck and fill them and bring them in. I always test each with quarters before I leave. Most of the time I will give the manager/owner the first quarter. It's amazing how happy they get with that quarter.

ginger vend Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 Always empty with candy placement. I open new bag in store so employees/manager can see I am putting fresh product in.
T BIRD Posted November 16, 2007 Author Posted November 16, 2007 Thats an interesting thought Ginger. Thanks for your input everyone!
LInksthorbiz Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 I like to take my triple heads in empty and fill with unopened candy bags to show the freshnes of the candy.

B.V.O. Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 Welcome to VENDiscuss.com B.V.O. Gary Well thank you Gary. You post quite a bit around these parts.
joshbrooksflorida Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 I think that idea about opening bags in the store is outstanding. Really great salesmanship.
timeman55 Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 Also a good idea when adding candy or taking candy out of store locations to put on some of those cheap plastic gloves. People who see you messing with a food product will feel better knowing it isn't your bare hands touching something they may eat. Tee
