    1 hour 40 minutes total time. This is the same one by the Love's on 83rd Ave in Phoenix, across from Kenworth.

    Seems like all new guys. Still did a good job. Undercarrige rinse is broken.

    Must have been wash your truck day, I hit the Beacon in Des Moines yesterday afternoon. Some guy in a panel van in line in front of me. Forgot to ask how they labeled the guy, was to busy watching guys in the next bay shovel potatoes out of a reefer they was washing out.

    On a side note, there is a place called Cow Pie Trailer and Truck Wash on 88 near the IL/Iowa line. I assume from the name and location they deal primarily in cattle trailer washing but I need to check it out some time just because of the name.

    Add Haw River NC to the list of good Blue Beacon locations. Single bay but I was there just a tad over an hour and I was the 4th or 5th truck in line (1 was a washout). They did a great job too

    How'd it turn out? Doesn't do the engine or under carriage though does it? I'm hitting The Beacon tonight or the next day or two myself.

    You may want to hold off a bit. I just had mine washed this afternoon so I'm sure it will crap weather over the entire country the next week now no matter what the forecast says.

    I might be cheap, ok guess I am. I washed my truck this morning in my driveway. I need to rethink my priorities.

    If I could take mine home, and more importantly, if I had a driveway, I'd be out next to you.
