    hmmmm Allot of Petro's Have Blue Beacon Truck washes, some Flying J's have them as well. Watkins Shepard as well as most companies have accounts with them, so they pay for 1 truck wash a month. I havent seen any vacuums at any TS's but you can always bobtail over to a car wash and do it with those. I dont have carpet so no need to vacuume lol.

    And theres tons of homeless people willing to polish your chrome for $$....:biggrin_2559:


    theres also allot of Truck washes around you'll hear them advertise on the CB. They usually charge a pretty penny, which would be on you since its not a Blue beacon... Or you can do it the old fashion was with a hose......:biggrin_25512:

    I can't wait so see my truck all polished up! It'll really make the Faded spots POP!:biggrin_25510:

    I just graduated from Trainco last week. And I'm ready to setup orientation with W/S tomorrow, they just need a few more papers to finalize my application.

    What can I expect during my 10 day Orientation? and how can I prepare myself?

    And as far as pay goes, is .25c the normal starting rate for W/S nowadays? I've heard it use to be alot higher.

    Gotta say AT...your unit is one of the, if not THE cleanest WS unit I've seen...good job man! I myself can't stand a grimy truck...dirty is one thing...dirt can be washed off. But grime says "ain't-a-had a bath in some time"!
     
    American-Trucker Thanks this.

    While you are in line for a wash at the Blue Beacon, there is a vacuum you can use. I picked up a small 1 gallon shop vac and use it with my inverter.

    Since we are showing off our trucks, here's my old truck. Havent gotten around to doing the same to this one.
