Gear transport to job site?

I like the revised version of the sherrill bags,i have 2 large deluxe,the little deluxe and bout 6 value 250's,also have the backpack straps which are pretty nice,i have a few of the "original" versions,got em right when they came out,tisk tisk should have waited,fell apart in the first few days,i wrote em off as garbage in my book till i seen the revised version that my buddy got after seeing mine.
Was hesitant to make the purchase as i felt like i was an unknowing test subject for r&d, as my bran new bags fell apart within days of purchase. Still have them,Very poorly designed,But the new ones are well thought out and quality imho..

I am pursuing the same problem/fault with Sherrilltree right now would you like to join in the rant and rave thread, could get fun.
 
Here's my current gear transport.

Metolius speedster bag with sewn in tarp and shoulder straps for saddle.

Craftsman 18" tool bag for 150' arbormaster and spikes.

Sherrill bag for 150' imori, 100' htp, 20' base anchor/lanyard, and d-link.

Stanley bag for 200' dynaglide, divider, folded cube, helmet, and a zippered pocket for accessories.

It can all be carried in one trip, even with my climbing saw, or I can just pick which system to use and take that bag.

I've invested about $100 in the bags (Sherrill bag was a freebie). The best part, though accidental, is that they're all different, so I can ask for geae from a specific bag without confusion.

3 kids help keep me a minimalist for now. I wouldn't balk at needing to make adjustments to my system to accommodate more gear, though :)

Even then, gearing up for a climb should still only require the saddle, a rope (maybe two), whatever specialty hardware for your system, a saw, and throwline. To carry the whole kit to a job, I've seen and really would like to own the Quest collapsible cart, a wagon style cart with a canvas cargo-hold on a folding metal frame.
 
I find that on jobs with larger diameter wood and more technical rigging 2-3 more bags are easily required, i saw a real clean truck bed slider with a camper shell, that was looking really slick.

Im not gonna name names lol but was a white toyota

Lol. Yeah, that was nice! I use the company's rigging gear, so no need for incorporation yet, but I am using a milk crate for slings, pulleys, and such after it was suggested here. Just shake it a bit and no more sawdust. We have jetsleds for stacking ropes, saws, hardware, and worn out climbers, and hook them to our machine to skid.
 
Oh man,thats right up my alley!! Clean,visible,organized and secure,Nice,looks like your employer is setting great example to follow!
 
Yeah. It keeps most of the gear and tows whatever machine we want to take. We have an suv for gear and towing for our second crew; just get what we need from the box truck and load the other. The suv has yet to be organized...
 
Btw, Your reaction is common to our having a tool truck. I always get a chuckle out of it. Our boss is a firm believer in better to have and not need than need and not have. Plus, no digging through stuff.
