Just want to know before I talk some smack. If there is I will respect that and wont say a word.
 
I am not and I have heard nothing but smack about them. I have seen them work and all the smack that was told was true.
 
Can you "smack" diplomatically?
 
smack away...

I have only been told by one person that fleetwash did a good job. This was an account I use to have that I did get from fleetwash. I had them until they went out of business last year. I have visited fleetwash's facility here in Atlanta and the newest van that I saw was probably 3 or 4 years old. Their pw's looked older than me. Not what you would expect from the largest pw company in america.

I have only seen one guy from fleetwash in 8 years on the net.

They fit a certain customers, theres a need for all types of pw's.

Some people think i charge to little, I believe that if your making 75 per hour and you have repeat work then we are happy.

I hear many tell storys about 300 per hour, would you pay someone to 300 and hour to cut your lawn?

theres a need for pricing, not everyone should be the same price. certainly a guideline is great.
 
Hey Ron, your very 1-800 number says "fleetwash"! You wouldn't be "spying" for them right now, would you?!?!?!?!? Seriously, from what I've seen they are big on the east coast, but I think they're franchising around the rest of the country. From what I've seen in the midwest, they haven't trained their people good and they've lost a lot of accounts around here. But as they story goes: Some days your up and some days your down...I mean that everything's subject to change.
 
Nope, Ron aint fleetwash. His equipment is too old.
Their usual M.O. is to buy one of the larger contractors out to get into an area. They like to buy the guy that is doing a bunch of the big fleets or leasing companies. They will buy them for a decent price. Hire the guy to run it during the transition period and then fire them. I have caught ehm stealing water from me before, and have actually called the Sheriff on them. I have also seen their guys using reallocation of anothers private property before, as well.
As for teh fleets they have, they can have them.
 
Yeah, the one truck that I did see was absolute junk! I think that that was a truck that someone that they absorbed must have had, because I think they mostly wash out of 1 ton vans like sprinklewash(sparklewash).
 
I can't see them keeping up that pace, Kory. Soon they won't show up to wash that account, and you'll get it right back. I was also under the impression that they mainly focused on the national fleets anyway. I've heard that they give a blanket price to wash the trucks across the country so they'll only pay the subs in other parts of the country that they don't have a presence that same amount or less than their bid. The problem with that theory is that truck washing costs different amounts in different states, even within the same state. I'd hate to be the guy that has to talk a sub into washing stuff for next to nothing, then trying to convince them to do a good job and care about what their washing!

You know, now that you mention it,...... it was a black tank, intially I thought it was a asphalt driveway sealing company, until I saw the logo

Picture a blower and engine mounted to the top of your holding tank. The tank itself is where the water gets sucked into. No more pump outs etc.
