Fixed over semi fixed or lift in/out - if the route is windy pull out x number of meters then just walk to job rarely gets tangled that way

Van doors open all the time but very little to steal - ladders are on the roof rack - the guys have their pole in hand - if someone wants a few microfibre cloths and a bottle of white vinegar so be it - I can’t see them lifting off a tank with 600 ltrs of water and running down the road with it - we don’t carry any of our longer poles unless they are being used that day

That's why I work out the side of the van, so I'm facing exactly the way I want to go (and straight reeling in).
Unless you park the wrong way of course!
As for negotiating car tyres, I find pre-spraying the tyres with WD40 helps the hose pull freely round and not stick!  ;D

For those that leave their van doors open whilst working, your tools insurance (if you have it) will be void if they're nicked. Van needs to be locked.

We have fixed reels and mostly use a 25' SLX pole. If we left the doors unlocked on our vans it's basically a 'come and get me' from the 50' Super Max & other poles & equipment. Sod that!
Don’t have it. I’ve had nothing nicked in 8 years. You know what’s gonna happen on Monday don’t you.

You’ll be fine.

Where you working Monday? And what street will you be at?
