Washco International

I think I have herd of them. If I am not mistaken I ran across their site a few years back but I can't tell you anything about them other than they are slightly better than Fle-t Wash.

Well I do work for FleetWash and I do a helluva lot better than a 5 year old with a cold water machine..
 
We just got an email from them 2 weeks ago wanting us to start doing work for them but if you read thru their website and the descriptions of what they supposedly do in washing fleets it seems like they don't know anything as far as fleetwashing is concerned. I got the impression that it was a lot of fluff with no substance.
 
Phase 1 Skeleton Wash: includes entire exterior body hand scrubbed with soft micro fiber bristles to remove dirt while protecting paint and decals. We then rinse at about 1500 psi at 120 degrees with conditioned spot free water.
  • I would like to stop and emphasize how we condition our water. There are two popular choices, however we feel one is superior to the other. Deionization is a chemical change to the water using substances that if mixed with or enter the water stream can leave hard spots and damage in some cases.
  • The WASHCO method: Reverse Osmosis is a physical change to the water using filters and high pressure, contaminants are extracted from the water through a membrane. Clean water fills our holding tanks and that is what we bring to wash your fleet. This process is pure and simple with no risk involved.
Phase 2 Shine It Up: We spray with a mild environmentally safe degreaser all rims, chasis and mud-flaps to remove any road film, grime build-up and dirt that a brush can’t get. We then spray these areas with hot water leaving them clean and shiny.
Phase 3 Final Walk Thru: Every crew member grabs a clean micro fiber rag and walks thru to look for any missed areas. Nothing gets by them. The supervisor makes 100% sure of it.
  • This includes cleaning windows, drying rims, all chrome, bumpers and even mud flaps.
  • Keep in mind that a supervisor must sign off on each job. Their name goes on the bottom of each service sheet. This is why we are different. Our employees and operators know that accountability matters.
If you are really washing THOUSANDS of trucks as their ad says, you will not be doing any of what this says. RO water? Are you kidding me? We go thru 60,000+ gallons of water on a weekend. Can you imagine the expense of using RO water? So you're supposed to hand brush, use RO water, degrease rims, and hand dry the vehicle with a microfiber rag for let's say $8-$10/truck because that's what most large fleets are used to paying? The "canned" photos that everyone samples off the web is another clue that this company seems inflated and clueless to me.
 
I never understood why a company would put every step on there website for every other competitor to read. No trade secrets I guess and nothing special

I call BS.. How would anyone for our prices have time or the money to do all this?
 
Right on Blaine there is no way they are doing that type of wash. It is neither practical nor the best way to wash a truck.... Or are they climbing on the hood with their microfiber towel to get the spot they missed on the top of the visor?
 
hopefully they stay out of my area. I've had 2 franchises pop up in the last 6 months around here. Fleetwash being one,

Maybe you can send them an email stating you are a Fleet Manager in Texas looking for info on how to clean your Fleet?
 
I watched F/L do some trucks a month ago. I actually timed them on 1. There were 2 guys working the rig. 1 had a brush and the other had the wand. They were washing trucks with with a full air foil built into the sleeper. They spent 3 1/2 - 4 minutes a truck.

I don't know what they charge a truck, but they were on and off site so fast it was pathetic. Trucks were not spotless, but all the road grime was off.
 
Biodude glad to see you havent frozen in the tundra.These companies come and go like the wind.Cleaning trucks is great work but these companies keep driving the price down further and further.There is no doubt about it good quality chemicals cost and with the price of fuel going up again i just dont understand the cheap prices.
 
From what I understand from their website, you would tell them what you would charge to wash a particular potential customer of theirs, they then add on their "service fee", and charge the customer the elevated rate. I can't see how they can advertise that they will save them so much money because they would then have no control over the price point, thus no negotiating power like Fleetwash and Superior Wash have.
