What's up with dirty Peterbilts ?

Can we start a Go fund him page for @blairandgretchen so he can afford to buy a Scotchbrite pad and a rattle can of black Krylon for the front of that bunk.

 

Nothing like gettin by the Iowa super coops lol. That day a freight shaker ran a little interference for a big Pete was a good day. For the record nothing I said was pointed at you, I’m sure you already know that but some may not lol.

 

Its rain,,thats clean enough. Spending endless hours washing is for prima donnas

 

I'd much rather drive a dirty Pete then a clean Freightliner. sounds like the boys are just jealous. But i actually keep my paid for large car clean!!!

 

I understand. For me personally, it's something about going down the road in the sunlight while it beams off the shiny aluminum. I feel a high and empowered lol, when I'm driving a clean truck, regardless of the brand. I'm in a Volvo now, and in my opinion, they look just as good cleaned up as a Pete

 

Your not the only one noticing the trend

 

The dumb bugs and may flies were so thick up in Michigan in some areas that you had to stop every rest stop and get out my pump up sprayer with dishwashing soapy water and my brush to break them down.

Right at the end of working hauling milk I bought a $99 1200 psi electric pressure washer that fit in my side box and ran off the inverter .

I had 2 square kitty litter buckets with lids filled with soapy water, I used those because they were lower than a 5 gallon bucket and fit in my side box.

I put 2 quick connects in the bottom side of buckets to connect to the 12 volt water pump I had mounted .

Easy peasy flip the switch on for the pressure washer and pull out the 25 feet of lightweight hose and blast the windshield clean in a minute.

Turbo nozzle really cleans them off.

Drives me crazy not having a spotless windshield when the sun is low.

 

My Stars get washed weekly and winter 2 times a week to keep the crap off of them
Streakin beacon makes a killing off me with the total wash. I drop the trailer in the bay and have the frame inside and out, rear ends, front end degreased, under the cab everything. Even get trailer tandems and axles washed.
Summertime after polishing yeah streakin beacon can shove it.
But I always get top dollar on trade. After 6 or 7 years my trucks and trailers still look #### near show room new inside and out.

 

I can't find it right now, but I am sure in the little green book there is a DOT reg that says Petes must be clean and shiny. I am sure it's there. I wouldn't risk the fine if I was those drivers.
