Bahahaha. This is true.

Yall talking roof ?

Yeah. How do you clean the roof of the trailer or box truck

Are you talking about that Jack guy or something like that? His avatar was him in like a white tank top?

Yah don’t, if you can see it, it gets washed, if not , it doesn’t exist. Now the drivers cab/ sleeper berth on the tractor are a different story for some. like the truck @MuscleMyHustle posted , you can see the top of the roof on that truck going down the hwy right ? Well it gets washed with 7/8’ Lance’s like @dperez mentioned . That answer you question @12_B ?

Always wondered how they washed them so fast, I was thinking the roof is just part of the standard wash. I too was thinking why a ladder had never been mentioned.

I guess it’s like washing a house. Unless they ask for the roof to be cleaned, you leave it alone

Bingo, And its an upcharge just like yall do. We can wash a 70’ tractor trailer in 22 minutes with a motor wash. i can’t do that roof in that time, plus youd need a cat walk system like the stationary big boy washing ppl got , Like blue beacon or the TA truck stops.

Not sure if I posted it in this thread or my bio. But I messed up two radiators on DL300 front end loaders. Cost me $2800 to get fixed. Haven’t picked up a turbo nozzle since

Ha, you should move over here, seriously. This is trucking capital of the world. Huge distribution hubs - 1/2 way between Atlanta and Charlotte. They’re all begging for drivers too. Literally thousands. Plus BMW runs a real tight just in time inventory. they have a mile of truck doors that back up to the actual assembly line, so anyone that supplies them have to have trucks in there. They build about 1700 vehicles/day

Are you saying I can park the Winnebago in your driveway @Racer ? Can i bring just a 5 gallon bucket of gravel so when I get up to pee outside I can walk on it to create the feeling of home ? Can your wife cook ? Hows the taxes there ? Yall act like a bunch of Democrats over there in concrete land, Is that true ? Do
Yall have blue bell ice cream, Each of these questions needs to be answered before i pump up the bias plys on the old RV.

@Hotshot @Racer is right I live on the 95 corridor so many dirty trucks its crazy you could catch them coming and going up and down 95 every day all day. The blue becon in Stafford has a line every day. Heck the truckers around me have little gangs. They do have some pretty trucks though and they like them clean. I will say this rubber scrubber thing is looking better and better I cleaned that man’s tractor the other day. He called me this morning to ask me why I had6picked up my check yet. It seams that people only clean thier home cause they want to. But people clean trucks and equipment cause they have to and they dont mind paying for it because they already know it’s just part of it. No haggling no complaints all they care about is when it will be done so it can go back to making money
