Your Contractors vehicle

What is your first thought about the vehicle your contractor drives? If he drives a nice truck are you weary about the price ? If he drives a POS are you weary about materials disappearing on the job? Curious on investors thoughts and experiences!

    @Nino Alfano, are you referring to the person who shows-up to give the initial estimate or the crew that shows-up to do the work?  Keep in mind that many companies have salespersons to do their estimates (and @Nicole A. and @Russell Naylor) and may not ever step foot on the roof (if only for insurance reasons).

    Unless there is something pretty unique, estimating roof work is fairly simple.  

    Curious, if the contractor shows-up in an old vehicle, but whips out a drone with a camera on it to inspect the roof, what would you think of them then?  Safe, smart, clever, efficient, and savvy perhaps?

    Keep in mind that Sam Walton is well known for driving around in a 1979 4x4, manual transmission pickup truck.
