    I thought I covered that...

    The terminal rinse bays do less than a moderate rain storm.

    Plus as others have said, keeping an appearance of clean and well maintained.... Much like keeping stuff off your dashboard...

    All helps towards avoiding unnecessary and time consuming inspections.

    Besides all that, I am trying to enjoy this job.... Without being a typical dirty smelly trucker.

    I picked my first truck up from the guys at the shop and it broke down a day later.
    Sat in a hotel for a week and then my new trucks brakes shoot the truck like an earthquake.
    It sucks because other than the equipment I really did enjoy the short time I was there. Crazy as that sounds.

    They drive so slow any wonder they gather so much dust :D Well i'd sure have an issue with that how do they expect the truck to stay clean. Although they should have a truck wash at there own depot which of course would be free. If you do pay for a wash and they don't reimburse the money to you, keep the receipt and claim this as a deductible on your tax return.

    Swift Laredo has a couple guys washing trucks on side of shop building I noticed that is very unusual. There is a ton of super dirty Best in class vehicles on the lot too.

    I would never waste my time getting a company truck washed. I only care about clean windows, mirrors and lights. It's not like I have an ownership stake in the tractor or anything, pride doesn't pay the bills either. They did very well on their earnings report a few weeks ago, I guess enough profit is never REALLY enough for those in the corporate building. The buck stops with the drivers on everything.
