    My company only reimburses $25 for a truck wash. I'm still looking for a $25 truck wash. I'll let y'all know when I find this unicorn...

    TMC is every two weeks minimum, every week if you want and its direct billed to the company.

    Never. Get it washed at a terminal or run it dirty.

    How much do they pay you for waisting your time washing their truck?

    Man, I thought I was the only one who never washed their truck. The company doesn't pay for it, why should I. There is a wash bay at the terminal but A) I rarely stop at the terminal, B) it's inaccessible with stuff blocking it, or C) it's closed.

    company washes the truck and does PM every time its home, and a good job at it to got a vlovo they take the side pannels off and every thing.

    we dont have the ability to wash the trailers at our terminal for lack of space so we can wash them at the Beacon direct bill to company, but a trailer can only be washed every 14 days wont let them bill twice. loaded at a grain mill out in the bush draged up and down a dirt road (really mud) after a heavy rain took the trailer in covered with mud they did an asome job at beacon at petro in FARGO, ND


    really in the end i wish i could do it my self, little bit of self pride regardless if its a company unit or not. IMHO

    every two weeks, occasionally the boss will drag out the hotsy and wash it himself or I'll help him, if for any reason it misses two washes, the let me take it to Blue Beacon for a wash on them
