    Ever ask the thoughts of those waiting behind you while you get a washout?
    Prolly matches yours pretty close.

    Jealousy have nothing to do with it. I had option to buy new truck or buy house. I picked house + roommate who covers my property tax, insurance and utilities. And I know that in 10 years it will not loose 90% of a value. And while you spending your life time paying off that fancy and shining truck, I am spending my PAID vacation in different parts of the world:). So yeah keep dreaming about me being jealous

    First come, first serve.

    Go to a dedicated washout facility if you don’t want to chance getting behind someone getting their truck washed at a truck wash.

    What if I said you can have everything you just mentioned AND have a nice truck? It’s entirely possible. It just takes hard work and not dragging a box down the road for $1.50. Ask me how I know.

    It’s weird because I don’t care what you spend your money on or what kind of truck you drive, as long as it’s road legal. But for some reason it bothers you that some of us want to have a nice truck that we can take some pride in driving.

    It takes maybe 10 minutes, 15 if the washer is slow, to wash out a trailer.

    A full truck wash job takes at least 30 if the wash team is doing a job worth paying for.

    If I’m paying to have the truck and trailer washed and they say they’re done in 30 minutes there is about a 98% chance they’re going to be washing it again to get all the spots they missed.

    Every time they just give my trailer the spray wash ,I take the head guy with me and give it the finger test . I rub my finger on the trailer and ask him see how white it is where I rubbed it .I want the whole trailer to look like that and most of the time he will order the scrub wash..
    But I hear you..
