@Hotshot and I were just talking about your neighbor the other day. Call them up and and see if you can network with them. They are your neighbor

how big are the large box trucks? I charge $40 for 53ā dry van trailers
They are your typical straight trucks, 26 foot boxes is my guess on an international cab/frame.

Iām getting kinda food at this sales pitch thing. Talked with 5 customers this morning, one is a hard yes, 2 are hard noās, 1sounda promising and the other the decision maker wasnāt there.
One if the hard noās guy is washing straight trucks at $15 a piece every other week. Told the guy thanks for his time and I cannot compete with that pricing.
Are you positive he would only allow you to pick them up if you were cheaper? Most of my accounts are paying more than they had been. Thereās not a lot of value placed on a cheap wash if they donāt actually wash it. At that point theyāre just throwing money away for a service they are not really receiving. Wash them for free
100% positive
He said if I could beat the guys prices he would switch. When he told me the prices j said there was no way I could compete with those prrices
Ah gotcha I completely understand now. In those instances I get them to produce their invoice for me. I donāt take them at their word on what they say they are currently paying.

No negative thinking on my part. I WILL be cleaning them! Iām thinking of going at $17.50 bi-weekly and $25 monthly.

Now you just need to increase your speed 
At $25 a piece thatās $4k for 160 pieces.
At $17.50 a piece thatās $5600 a month ($2800 bi-weekly if I clean all 160 pieces)
If I get this I will be forking over money for a 5.5gpm cold water machine for rinsing and a 2 step gun (maybe 2)

Found out Friday my big account is closing up shop. Sucks but I guess itās the nature of the beast doing this rubber scrubbin. Time to go out and find more accounts Wednesday and Thursday.
There will always be trucks to wash friend , Like there will always be toothbrushes and toilet paper. Go get um buddy.
