    I am running 10 trucks and wash every 2 weeks. Yes, it costs a ton of money but we do what we gotta do.

    My grandparents were in trucking back in the old’n days and they would give a double ### chew if a truck came back to the yard dirty after a turn to the west coast and back. I can’t imagine what they must have spent at the time.

    So, point being even every other week is slacking for some! Pride is a helluva thing.

    They get dusty and covered with cobwebs sitting in the dealer parking lots waiting in line for service.

    Sounds like you got it all figured out Dino, or either your extremely jealous. Any rate you win the award today.

    Here are 3 big Pete’s 2 with big Cats and 1 with a big Cummins. All over a million miles and mine, the blue one with 2.4 million miles. I’ve owned it since 2009. These trucks get washed weekly for the most part. Can’t tell you how many times it’s been washed over the weekend and rained on Monday. Sometimes we just end up in a big mud hole. But they will get washed again this week.

    I’ve got a lot of chrome left over from when I had my Freightliner if anyone needs any.
