Man, quoting carpet for these fleet vans is a pain, just dropped $2,500 on a Mohawk install last week and the client wants to know if Shaw woulda lasted longer. Customers keep pushing for the cheap route but I'm tired of callbacks for wear on high-traffic routes. Anyone got a solid estimating template for this?

shaw's overrated for fleet vans, imo mohawk's nylon blend holds up way better on those high-mileage routes, screw the callbacks from cheap shaw installs.

these cheap ass clients always want the bargain bin crap and then bitch when it shreds after a month, im over quoting both since shaw aint much better than mohawk on fleet vans.

these cheap bastards always push for the bargain and then blame us when it falls apart in a few weeks. shaw and mohawk both get trashed in fleet vans cuz nobody takes care of shit. screw em, i started quoting a premium nylon loop pile from interface and they pay up or walk.

dont skimp on mohawk for fleet vans, i saw a shaw install tear to shreds after 6 months on those high-traffic routes and had to redo the whole damn thing for free.

yeah man, i feel your pain on those fleet van callbacks, customers always chase the cheap shaw deal and then bitch when it shreds after a few months on the road.

stick with mohawk for fleet vans, i saw a shaw install tear up in under six months on those high-traffic routes and it turned into a nightmare callback.
