Sytems for Success is a book written by Dwight Hughes a landscaper/nurseryman in Iowa. He lectures on how he is able to gross upwards of $750,000 with 4 employees by minimizing waste and creating simple systems within his company. Some of those systems is the way his vehicles are set up and used
The book shouldn't be hard to find.
It is somewhat out of date though. He's incorporated many new ideas which the book doesn't include such as a ramp style car carrying trailer with underneath storage which he uses to carry multiple machines. He was the one who came up with the idea for the Tree Boss and the first landscaper to use and heavily publicize the Power Trac.
If you can ever see a lecture it's worth the trip whether you incorporate any of his ideas or not.
