You don’t fit. Go to your own garage. You are several feet too long.

The loophole is many who own their own trades business still drive them for personal uses because they can’t afford (don’t want) another car.
That’s not a loophole. If the truck wasn’t driven to this movie theater for work purposes, then it wasn’t driven for work purposes.
Its same as business owners writing things like toilet paper for their house off as a business expense. Its almost impossible to enforce. He could pop into a dollar store, buy a pack of zip ties, and claim they are for work and justifies using the work truck.
It’s a myth that you can write anything off as a business expense and the IRS can’t do anything about it.
See you say that, yet many people get away with it all the time because it isn’t enforced. It is illegal, but no one is chasing it down. Work from home/business located on the same property? People get their water systems serviced and installed under their company name as a “business expense” even if 90-99% of the water use is personal. Same with gas in the work truck even if you brought the kids to soccer after school in it etc etc. If it isn’t enforced, it isn’t a myth. The IRS CAN do something about, but only once you frauded enough to be worth their time.
Just because you can think of ways out of enforcement doesn’t mean all enforcement is impossible. If there’s a plumbing truck parked at the movie theater, management is going to damn well know if plumbing work is occurring. I know it makes us feel smart to think of loopholes but we don’t need airtight enforcement in order for a law to make sense. There are tons of laws on the books that aren’t actively and exhaustively enforced, and they exist to give authority to those who would take action in situations where they can.
Yes very specifically had one modified to fit the height of loading docks with a hydraulic gate, to move heavy ass things and a crew of workers, maybe in some cases another vehicle would make sense but we had to get equipment to some pretty remote places as well. Of course one of our employees took it home everyday to do burnouts or whatever. To a certain extent cops are more lenient to a commercial vehicle.
They’re only common because of tax laws. Everyone else in the world uses box vans for most “work” purposes, and if not box vans, the same frame with something else in the back. Pickup trucks have their uses but they’re worse than vans for most trades.
For my field pickup trucks are the way to go, but we often have to go off road to reach a site.
That said this truck is still too large. While we mat need the extended bed for additionally equipment storage, the front and basically porfile/height could still be reduced significantly. It’s a huge issue with modern truck design
If function were a priority at all for pickup trucks they would have stubby sloped noses like Sprinter vans have. But no, they need to have massively elongated and elevated hoods because the vast, overwhelming majority are sold exclusively as penis prosthetics.
It’s comical how empty the engine bay is under those stupid hoods. On Rams with the V6 I can literally stand on the ground in between the radiator and the front end of the engine and still have room to move around.
Don’t I know it. Most of my male family members have been tradespeople and all but one chose/chooses a van over a pickup truck.
If only the people who drove them for legitimate work purposes owned them, even as their only vehicle, it would be a huge number off the roads.
