I have tried to do a brief search but don't have time to do a thorough search. I need to know the scoop on fleet washing. I had a company call me that is moving to my town and wanted me to quote them on fleet washing. I don't yet know how many trucks they have. They said they mostly want trailers washed but also want a bid on tractors too. Fleets is something I haven't done. I have yet to go after a fleet account. They got me from the yellow pages and now it has me considering going into fleets. I have basically no work to do in the winter. I have a 5.5 gpm hot water machine and I have a 500 gallon supply tank. I need to know what is thge low down on washing trailers.
#1 What chems do you use on the trailer? I am in Michigan and there is lots of salt on the trucks.
#2 Do you brush the trucks? Or just pw them?
#3 What chems do you use on the tractor?
#4 Is there anything special I need to know about? Such as the fuel tanks, exhaust stacks, etc.
#5 What is a good price to charge per tractor and per trailer? I don't know what the current price is around this area. I do not know how long it takes to wash these so it is hard to figure by the hour. I know different areas get different prices.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I need to give them a bid tomorrow.
