    I agree with what another person said, location is going to be key.

    That said, make sure whatever company your class is marketing for makes sure that the company puts itself on apps that truckers use.

    The one that I use and I think it's the most popular truckers parking app, is called "Truckers Path". It has most truck stops on there (and 100% of the big chain truck stops on it), but you can also scroll over and select the app to show Walmart's, Truck washes, etc. etc.

    Whatever company you're marketing for, make sure they are on Truckers Path App. I think there's an option to pay the app to get your location to have a star on your place of business, so that it catches peoples attention when they're looking at the app. That might be useful as well.

    My company pays for the wash, but not for my time to do it. My free time is valuable to me, and my 70 hour makes me money.

    My truck is dirty as hell and going to stay that way until the day I leave, or start getting paid to wash it.

    No pride in the ride. Bad impressions to Dot and customers.

    Yeah I know. I want to wash it bad. It would be nice if we had a washout at on of the terminals.
