Fleet Wash Basics (Elbow Grease and a Dump Truck)

  • I receive a ton of questions asking if I ever tried "this" product or "that" product. I even get cussed out at times for being old school LOL. Allow me to bring back the good ol' days when we just used a little water and some basic skills while perfoming a sample video of my fleet wash hustle.

    You sure do get those trucks looking cleaner! You must have had your washer at the full 4000-PSI, cause that engine was struggling a bit. Its amazing just how dirty those trucks actually get. But its equally amazing seeing how much cleaner they get after you have had a go at them lol.

    Dan, serious question. Blue Max trucks are fairly new and they have polish from the factory. Aluminum brightener eats away the polish. Why are you using that? Thats thousands of dollars worth of polish slowly being removed and will eventually give it haze.

    • @dansvlogtrucking
      @dansvlogtrucking  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It costs me approximately 70 cents per truck. That's based on a $50 - 5 gallon bucket of Bright doing 100 trucks and 2 gallons of ethanol free fuel also doing the same 100 trucks. Then add in maintenance for the pressure washer and fuel for the tow vehicle, maybe cost me $1.00 per truck. I can do 2 trucks an hour (including driving them back and forth to set up to wash) so I charge an hourly rate I am comfortable with. You have to decide YOUR hourly rate ($60 or more?) that means $30 or more per truck and of course only you know what you want. What I want is not going to be public knowledge. Just know, it is much more than $60 an hour

    What I forgot about washing trucks, you haven't learned yet. By the time you got one side washed, and I mean Washed with soap and water, not just prep the trucks and then rinse it.I used real soap and brightened the aluminum in the same step and then i switched to soap to cut the grease and everything and brightened everything. Then i switched to rinse all without changing nozzles or leaving the work area. I had over thirty years of experience under my belt and over thirty thousand dollars worth of equipment in my truck. I use to do over 105 trucks in a day and they came out nice, and i had some very large fleets of trucks. All you did here, i didn't see much soap and it took you longer to do one side than i did to do the entire dump truck.
