    Do any of you company drivers that can only get your truck washed every 30 days know how to find out the last date that you washed it. No need for look at your receipt, right it on your calendar( which I normally do but forgot). I call a local B. Beacon and she asked my company name and truck number. She says nope not yet. And she cant access when it was washed last. I would think it would pop up on their computer when I was there. I guess I could call my company and bother someones busy time to look it up.

    Call in if your company has an account with the beacon they will need a P.O# so you can get the wash done. The office usually will have the last wash date in their system and can tell you

    my company sends QUALCOMM messages to all trucks saying"we are getting too many phone calls with unimportant questions" so I just try not to call. They want me to max my 14 hours and get my 70 hours and home for 34 hours. I think I might tell them Im getting unimportant calls when they call me at 31 hours to be dispatched. But Im thankful for the steady worked. Gets a little tiring though.

    Send your "unimportant" question to them via the QualComm. If all their drivers did that, they would change their tune when they get that bill.

    Not true.
    Guess it depends on how the Account is setup.
    I have 2 friends that need POs they work for different companies.

    With the company I work for I do not need a PO. I can get a wash once a month.
    And as many washouts as I want, no PO required for that also.

    Washed every 30 days at a Blue Beacon? Paint should be removed rather nicely after about 2 years, easy to repaint then, no sanding required...
    Oh I forgot, those companies that do that trade them in just before then...
