Interesting. Where I work we have field techs as well but I guess it’s a little different. Everyone’s issued their own truck, the truck just lives at the office. So you’d drive to the office, pick up your truck, and then start earning windshield time. In any case, I do wonder what it’d look like for like a retail worker or something.
When I worked for IT call center back in the day they had a reimbursement plan for everyone coming into work… Within reason of course. We rearly had call in due to transportation issues. If you lived within one hour drive of the office you got an estimate on the gas, time, and vehicle maintenance check at the end of each month. If you didn’t have a vehicle they paid for your yearly public transportation cost. It was such a additive to the culture of the office and ensured the worker wasn’t being held financially responsible for getting to work! Such a weird concept in a world of selfless leadership and a beat down labor force.
We had maybe 1 field technician for every state. So like literally 1 technician for all of North and South Carolina. 2 for Alabama/Mississippi/Louisiana. 3 for all of Florida (North, South, Central).
There often isn’t an office to go to in your state but we do sell there so we need on-site staff.

We don’t have enough density for that.
