One job that I used to have was that of a roadie, and for anyone who is in the dark about this, I will describe further. The roadie does all the hard grafting, from heavy lifting to assembly of the equipment for the whole show. As a fan of the group, you attend the concert and enjoy the performance and also the ambience of the whole event. But who cares about the people who work the long hours to ensure the safe transportation of the equipment from one venue to another?

Some see it as a glamorous job, obviously because you get to meet the band members, and at the start it is pretty cool. But having after three or four months on the road at a time, they soon become just ‘normal’ people.

If you end up working for famous rock stars, you will more than likely use fantastic equipment and unbelievable types of transportation. Small van transport is over, the big time means heavily articulated lorries and columns of juggernauts. This, in a way, is a benchmark of the success of a particular band.

In the old days someone would own an old Transit van, more than likely the driver would be a mate of one of the musicians. Back in the Swinging Sixties it began this way for me. The first van that I owned was a Commer, but the early seventies saw the arrival of the Ford Transit. From that point onwards, I never considered another brand – it has been Fords forever! In those days commercial van leasing did not exist to the extent that it does today. If we had even been interested in it, we were so broke we couldn’t possibly afford it.

If leasing products had been available, I would have been looking at medium or small van leasing or pick up truck leasing, which has bundles of style and fun.

How do you identify the main criteria to obtaining recognition as a ‘white van man’? Obviously you have to own a white van for starters, but even this may exclude you from joining this club. What follows is a list of experiences that to me would guarantee acceptance for anyone into the ‘special club’.

Complete disregard for other road users

Now, this is vitally important if you wish to become a member of this club. It cannot simply be a slight bending of the rules or a deliberate misinterpretation here or there. There has to be no abiding by the rules! If you are driving down a narrow county road, for example, you cannot safely negociate passage past another vehicle. If it is possible you have to force the other vehicle to stop for you, or better still, completely run the other person off the road. if you can adhieve this without caring at all, then you are a larger step closer to your goal.

Dominate your steet with your vehicle

The councils in most towns and cities have awoken to the idea that there is lots of money to be made by parking enforcement. Parking space outside your own house is now prime space, and you are not even guaranteed a parking slot nearby. But where does ‘white van man’ fit into this? Our bloke probably owns more than one or two vehicles and parks the van outside his house too, consuming more space than anyone else in the street. If you can do this and not care about the neighbours, then you will definitely earn your stripes!

If you wish to qualify as a ‘white van man’ check out commercial van contract hire has provided a simple way of getting hold of a van. Fiat van leasing and Iveco van leasing are just some of the options out there to choose from.

Back in 2001 just 27% of buyers leased their new vehicle and roughly 59% financed the purchase of their new vehicle with a bank loan. Ever since these statistics were released the amount of people investing in van leasing has rapidly increased and we are now in the realm of an all time high in commerical van leasing. Several market researchers have said that leasing a vehicle is simply so much cheaper than it would be to get a bank loan or even get vehicle finance out from the dealer himself.

OK - It sounds a little too good to be true but you have to ask yourself that when DesRosiers says that 46.8% cent of all new-vehicle transactions were on a lease. There has been a massive influx in people wanting to lease vans and vehicles rather than buy them as it has worked out to be a lot cheaper and more economical. Monthly payments into the industry is what the economy needs right now to help it calm down.

Many people across the UK and many parts of the world have been affected by the infamous credit crunch so that will subsequently mean that people would want to spend less money throughout the month. Compared to last year, there has been a steady increase in sales and it has been great for the economy on the whole.
This will then give companies who offer cheap volkswagen van leasing or LDV Van Leasing for example, the edge and could expect to make some real money in this current trend. Is this too much hype over nothing? Is it really worth it to take a loan out or lease rather than buying the vehicle straight up? OK, let's think about how this could be advantageous. Your lease van or car will be under a constant warranty for the time that you are renting it. So, if anything breaks or does not function properly, it will automatically be replaced within no time at all. Of course a new car will have a warranty but they only normally last about one year to two years at the most. So, in that sense it is more logical to try and get a van lease instead as you are technically more covered from an insurance point of view.

There are many different advantages to having a lease and they are definitely worth looking into. I would recommend considering it over buying a new car as you never know how much money you could save yourself!
