I used to be a contractor as an av installer here in Australia Very few people here in Australia with large trucks need them, and those that do are the people who are useless onsite, especially because they’re too large to park in busy areas, and they cost a lot to run (so you know the person doesn’t do much and gets paid a lot). They’re totally inefficient with productivity.

In fact, you’ll never see couriers use them either because they don’t do anything well (even for cable deliveries).

Here in Australia, there is talk about introducing a new license for them, and it’s well deserved. The kind of people attracted to emotional support vehicles don’t put in effort at all into parking, and they should require extra training and more restrictions . They boast about towing capacity too, so they should be required to train for those capacities

Also, those kind of cars don’t handle driving well either honestly lol, because they’re so heavy. They have more clearance, that’s it. I don’t live there, but I seriously doubt your roads are so bad you need a 4wd and high clearance to get around. Here in Australia, such cars are always perfectly clean and definitely aren’t needed 99% of the time. In fact, the only people whining about roads here in Australia tend to be people justifying their large car, or people with impractical sports cars, and I’m willing to bet it’s an exaggeration there too

There are contractors that should have one, but they’re extremely limited. Either get something for transporting people, or cargo
