    I don't agree... I only take my personal vehicle in once every six months or so for an oil change and I wash it far less (Because I don't care). My company vehicle is treated better because my company pays for it all. It gets regular maintenance and washes. It's part of my job taking care of it and I'd rather not reck it because then I'd have to most likely use my own car and that would be a hassle. Keeping receipts, miles, and all the crap that goes with driving my own car. I'm 100% more likely to wreck my car if its on the road than if its not on the road. Not only that my company is in far better shape to recover from a vehicle loss than I. They don't pay me enough to risk loosing my car. They have these places where people can rent cars and I'm not one of them. If I owned a semi truck as an owner operator, I'd charge what I needed and not what the paying company thought my truck was worth. As I said in another post... if you own the equipment doing the work for a company, you own that part of the company.

    Re: Do you have a company car?

    Just got a company vehicle after many years of using my own. The company I worked for was bought out and the new company uses Ford Transit Connects. It's a pretty decent company sled. I have the long wheelbase model and it's been outfitted with drawers that slide out at the rear and has really good cargo area. I don't miss putting a ton of miles every year on my own car.

    Re: Do you have a company car?

    We've always had a company vehicle where I work, now in my 31st year. Lost count of how many I've had over the years. They finally got me a new one (instead of a hand-me-down) 3 years ago and I really like it. It's a Ford Transit Connect 2015. I've put almost 70K on it so far.
    Started in the copier service business in the fall of 1988 and worked at the same company for 33.5 years, becoming the senior tech in 2004 but left to pursue another career on 4/29/22.

    We have 2019 Hyundai Tucson AWD. Everything is paid for and all repairs on company time as well. One perk we get with the car is we do pay $140 a month to drive it off company time. I have driven a previous car from Ohio to the Keys and Washington DC. All the gas is paid for by the company. The only thing they want to know is when you are going to do something like this so they know why they get the Gas bill why it was bought in Florida. I have driven the current car to Upper Michigan and Gatlinburg. it's nice to get to drive to run all my errands in the evening and weekends.

    Nope, 11 Corolla. Company pays me over $600 a month for mileage. Interestingly enough, we just hired someone on from a company that's fairly large south of us, they also used personal cars but were completely wrapped with the company colors and logo

    We use Peugeot Partners, the diesel ones, so far so good. We can load 3 c224 separated and still keep a low gas consumption. Plenty of room even when i taking back 3 tool bags, 2 spare parts boxes, 1 box with road emergency kit and toner.
