    Swift is no longer giving reimbursement for truck washing.

    Even though I have only done it twice, because it takes 1-2 hours of my personal time off... And 8-12 dollars of my own money.


    Heck , I don't spend more than $5 and 15 minutes to clean my own car.

    But I hate looking like #### . Even though truck washed cost 48-52 dollars.... I would still bite the bullet and get my truck shined up every 3-4 months. A

    Dirty trucks look busier. Clean trucks look like sitters.

    I've washed my truck twice in nine months because of the burden it is, and now I'm totally screwed??

    It's safe to say I am counting the days to my one year anniversary, to clean out my truck.

    Time to move on.... The level of ridiculous is becoming almost comical!

    When do they wash them ? Only at service centers with wash bays, or during PMs?

    I hate a filthy truck.

    Cleanliness is next to Godliness.

    Been in similar situation. If the company won't pay for the truck wash, then I only keep the windows, mirrors, lights clean. I couldn't care less what anyone else thinks about me driving a dirty truck.

    I don't sit in line to wash company trucks, they want it washed either pay me a wage to sit at the blue beacon or it ain't happening...

    It don't care how dirty it is, as long as it runs

    I agree. I don't spend my money on their equipment. They don't pay for my car upkeep and I don't pay for their truck upkeep.
