    I have never had my truck washed outside a yard because they have never liked to repay for truck washes was told to me when I started.

    My truck dirt has many stories! When lots of road salt gets on it then it rains is about as clean as it ever looks, yellow.

    I'm very particular when it comes to everything being clean. Its peace of mind to me.

    If Swift wants dirty trucks, so be it.

    Most of the terminals I've been to lately that had a washing machine, it wasn't turned on.
    Is it really that much of an expense to wash the trucks?
    Maybe it is.
    Especially in the winter months when heating the water costs more, and trucks get dirty more often because of the road conditions.

    I really doubt any customer will look down on me simply because I have a dirty truck.
    More likely they will look down on me because of me being late or treating them badly.
    Or if I myself show up dirty and smelly.
    They don't see the truck as much as they see me. (And maybe smell me.)

    Or put a stick in his behind and use him as a wash mitt to clean trucks with!

    That is the dumbest idea ever. A tax deduction does not mean you get your money back.

    Rolling through the the scale with a clean truck always feels better than with a filthy one. Not saying it'll help but it sure won't hurt.
