Does anyone have a good system for storing extension poles on their truck with the brushes left on? I don't like the guys to have to screw on the brush heads on every job. I want it semi-open for drying, and lockable. I carry 2 Mr. Long Arm type poles and a carbon water fed.

some guys have installed 4" pvc pipe to hold them. We just put them on the the ladder rack. Long Arms don't last too long - get stuck/freeze up. We don't take the water fed pole out too much, unless a lot of casement windows. I might get a real water fed set up to keep on back of an open pick up. We did spot cleaning of 4 story stucco building and the guy on site said they were required to clean windows in common area once per year. I thought is would only be a few, but them they added the fixed kitchen windows. Total was 267 windows. I may buy a longer pole and do a fax out special.

4" pvc. Notch sides of pvc to allow brush to slide in to end of notch. Drill 1 or 2 holes through end of pvc and slide bar through so you can put a pad lock on it

Jesse, this was my alternative if no one had a better idea. I will need 2, as I want to carry at least a water fed and 1 other extension brush. I was thinking of attaching some sort of "box" to the end of the PVC, something that would fit 2 or 3 brushes. Seems like I could spend my time doing something better than designing a box, though.

I just saw this, Chad. I think I can help you here!
I use a Simpole, and the brush is easily removable and replaced.
Can even switch from a brush to softwash with just a change of pole tip (and hose ;).
Super easy. If you have a newer Simpole I could send you a softwash tip to try out.

Has to be Simpole, though, not a WCR copy.
