T BIRD Posted November 13, 2007 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caserri Posted November 13, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmer_John Posted November 14, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T BIRD Posted November 14, 2007 Author Share 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........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dperry Posted November 14, 2007 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeman55 Posted November 15, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Coast Vend LLC Posted November 15, 2007 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshbrooksflorida Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I think that idea about opening bags in the store is outstanding. Really great salesmanship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeman55 Posted January 6, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
