Whole other ball game Joe if you want to get into it right. I recommend you build a trailer rig dedicated strictly for it. Hot water unit, acid, chemical, 2 step gun or 2 step remote system. You’ll need to know your surfaces, acids and soaps. Quite a bit more entailed then softwashing. More limitations, etc.
Do you still wash Quikrete Trucks? I wash their same truck and trailers in another city and have some tricks that helped me.. maybe we could exchange our ideas
Wow, that’s a coincidence, I had a friend refer me to a trucking company and I’m also trying to figure the best method. My lead is just regular highway grime though, concrete dust seems tricky for sure. Definitely following! Keep crushing it Joe!
I got into fleet washing this year,there’s lots of chemicals out there that work pretty good,your also probably best with a 2 step gun,lots of options out there but you want to be fast and efficient with fleet it’s great for the winter to keep money coming in that’s the major reason I got into it
Purple power degreaser as a primary and foam cannon with chemical guys. Use a soft bristle brush. That's the cheapest high quality route. Pro-nano and liquid wax is the high end way to go.
@@Panduhmoniam It's been a go to degreaser since I started pressure washing. I'm not just a devastatingly handsome internationally famous Rock Hound. ;) lol
Been there done that wasn't my thing. I used to run heavy equipment before I got into washing. I didn't like getting covered with grease. Good luck Joe. Hope it works for you.
Zep from Napa makes a truck and trailer wash...touchless..no scrubbing needed..works great....follow up with a wax spray..foam cannon and keep it moving
Joe I’d probably stay away from that fleet if it was myself. I have only one easy fleet. Those trailers are dry bulk trailers and are very awkward to wash and soap. Aluminum brightener makes them look good but will not look even at all due to the shape of them. Also would need to use brightener every single wash since those trailers go through hell in a month so would be very costly and time consuming. Stick to houses!
Might I say you are an actual beast at house washing. I have not seen anyone go through these many houses in a day like you. Would love to know how you are landing all these.
Get it, you dont need a two step gun or a hot water rig and i recommend washing concrete trucks. 400 to 1000 per truck. Fleet washing is ok if ypu want to wash 20 trucks at 45 to 75 per truck , on the other hand ypu can wash 5 concrete trucks at 400 in 3 hours and make 2,000 no two step bs.
Your buddy Russ from Southside has a product called SUPER CRETE RELIEF. It'll be a great chemical for removing concrete and getting the fleet clean. I've never removed concrete from trucks so wouldn't know what to charge but you could just do an hourly rate because I hear ready mix trucks take a fair bit of effort to get clean. Best of luck Joe!
@@powerfulimprovements More like $300 per truck. Billing per truck allows invoice notes on damage discovery, and keeps that documentation clean for fleet insurers. I did that after my first insurance cleaning job. 6 cars, all covered in manure. Had to document the damage on each in my invoice notes.
Congratulations Joe! Kleen Rite has a LARGE selection of cleaning soaps, which you will need. Hot water is must for the road rigs. The high rise tube...check with local dot on regs for doing cleaning that involves objects over roadways. You may also want to look into water reclaiming systems. TN doesn't really busy it, but I'm not sure a out your area. Lastly, get a lift for the job. Work smarter not harder.
@@powerfulimprovements don't blame you on that. Stay modest Joe. That's why we enjoy your vids and work. 1 man army is always easier and more profitable for the time
Joe i got asked to clean equipment and trucks an a scrap yard guy was going to pay me $1000.00 weekly could only be done Saturday afternoon or Sunday all day I work 50-70 hours a week railroad have my business on the side because of my lack of knowledge and not having a hot water machine I turned down kills me everyday if I was full time I could never let that go
The fleetwasher's I know have hot water and upstream chemicals rather than downstream as downstream is not strong enough concentration. I am not sure how using the 12v system for concentration and cold water will work for cleaning trucks/trailers.
Get a foam gun specifically for cleaning vehicles, low pressure for the cleaning foam let it soak or dwell a bit, then full pressure wash.... The first cleaning will be tough, but the monthly cleaning will be a breeze.
I think I would pass on the trucks. My efforts would be best spent elsewhere. I had a guy call me to wash the top of his RV yesterday. I really wanted to help him out, but I’m not walking on top of an RV, 12’ high and have to scrub. “I don’t need the sides done, just the top”. That juice ain’t worth the squeeze
I'd stay away from those trucks. You'll make way more washing houses. I use to do all the FedEx trucks. By the time you buy all your chemicals to clean them and the time it takes to wash one you could've made $600 washing a house. Most trucking companies dont wanna pay anything you'll be lucky if they'll pay $100 a truck and that ain't worth it . To Time consuming for the money they pay.
Yeah dude I was looking at a fleet washing job and even at $100 a truck it’s complete waste of time, if your getting calls for house washing. If it’s just a side gig then it’s fine.
Damn... I thought it was only me but washing trucks and heavy machinery is just so hard and the money is just not there. I mean, the other day I got paid to wash a freaking crain and even if it was 500$ I was like destroyed. And I also do one of those Medical ARVs for 150$ but every time 😮💨 But when it's a house I'm loving it. 😁😁😁
Joe I would do a taste test first on a couple of the tanks..As far as the tube I would pass on that stating you only do ground work at this point..Good luck..
Hey bud feel free to reach out to me. Most all my experience is with heavy equipment cleaning. Be more then happy to help in any way bud. P.E.I Canada 🇨🇦
I know to get them things clean you can use aluminum brightener but I know there's a special chemical that breaks down the concrete I forgot what it's called I'll do some research for you
Congratulations Joe, your business is constantly growing! I’m thinking you’ll want hot water to help dissolve the mud and grease. Hit those pneumatic trailers with aluminum brightener after washing the muck off of them. Interstate truck washes such as Blue Beacon use aluminum brighteners, just avoid getting it on any polished aluminum or it’ll dull the shine.

Do you still wash Quikrete Trucks? I wash their same truck and trailers in another city and have some tricks that helped me.. maybe we could exchange our ideas
I did not take the work
Can we get an update video
Passed
Hey Joe- Did you end up doing these trucks?
No. I passed. Not set up correctly. Staying in my lane
There is a Quikrete in my area! I'm bidding ASAP!!!
Do it
How much do you charge for a house like this? Please I need info for my business
Sorry. We don’t talk money

I started out doing flute washing and I found is better to use a turbo nozzle on certain dirt and grime underneath the truck
I got some concrete remover that will make you 💵 money.
I've reached out to dump truck businesses trucking places still no luck . My idea aswell for winter

I’m laughing at this moment in the vid!🤣🤣🤪how to fleet&tube wash! Lol
Joe always gets her done ! Thanks for another great video !

I like it
@@powerfulimprovements I second this.
Just had a fleet wash opportunity cross my path too! So excited to watch the video today
Good luck!!
We wash for that company at another plant. We mainly do the tanker trailers to get the concrete off them.
How? What’s the process?
@@powerfulimprovements do you have email I can send you what we use and method.
2 step touchless soap hands down works week on my fleet washing portion of my business
Good job. Glad your well
Hey Joe Try contacting Michael Hinderliter about any fleet washing questions you have. I’m sure he can answer a lot of things for you.
I think house washing and Commercial properties are more bucks for the bang lol

Be careful when cleaning that Tube over the road the overspray could come in contact with the high voltage lines
