Thanks for the replies.... C & T, Don't worry, I'm getting a little better than $20 per truck. We wash 20 trucks per location though. Your safe for now (lol). I wonder how the two-step process would work on the grease build up on these trucks? Anybody doing garbage trucks with...

Hello Fleetwashers, Well I have been away from the board for a while but I'm back and still have lots of questions. I now offically have my first fleet account. And what a way to start......garbage trucks. We are washing 5 locations at 20 trucks each and washing each site every 5...

The majority of the work I have done has been residential and I feel pretty good about my pricing schedule that I use for that. But, it's winter time now and the residential work is slowing down. I would like to get more into commercial work. The problem I am having is that when I go out...

Hey folks, Just wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone out there. Being new to the business I was really nervous about getting started. After coming here and asking the usual newbie questions, I had the confidence to go out and solicit jobs. Anyway, landed another job today. I could not have...

Christopher, Hey man thanks for the reply. I like the checkerboard idea. That sounds great. Please go ahead and post any ideas. You never know, it may be exactly what I need. The floor is pretty clean. I always just used it as just a storage building / pout house (gotta have somewhere to...

Hello FleetWashers, What types of catch system are you guys using? Do you mostly wash on concrete and catch the water off that or are you using some type of mat. Did you buy a system or piece something together? It would appear that one of those shop-vacs that pumps water would be an idea...

I am curious. How many sales calls do you guys make a day/week/month? What do you think your success rate is? What's the population of the area your in? Myself, being new and all, I have set a goal to market my business at least 1 full day a week. Unfortunately my success rate right now...

I just realized, I have a local lake with at least 400 houseboats on it. Are you talking about small boats out of the water? Or big boats in the water? May just be a new market. Greg ------------------

Hello out there in PW land. I have a problem in my own personal garage. The concrete is about 7 years old. Over the years the floor seems to be wearing then. It looks as if the concrete was "floated" too much when it was laid bringing the "concrete" to the top. It's not cracking or anything...
