    Seriously, I know the reefer boys gotta be as annoyed by this as I am... I just want the salt washed off like they want the wagon washed out. Quick and to the point. Take your 4 wheel pickup to the car wash Hoss. Seriously. So annoying. I'm ready 4 like several years vacation.

    Honestly I've owned several pickup, no way on earth do I sit in line at a truck wash for 1 hour. Go to the car wash, DANG!!!

    No i woulda flipped my lid too. Even my 1 ton ram fits in MOST car washes...a half ton ford has no excuse. Then again most people who buy fords seem to have lower then average IQ.

    Wait for them in the fuel island all the time.
    I want to tell them that the station down the street is about .50 cheaper, but I don't.

    Hit the Beacon at 0400 and you'll never have to deal with any of this.

    As far as the pickup, who cares, if he wants to wait in line and pay the Beacon price, then so be it.

    There is an independent truck wash near our warehouse. I take my 4 wheeler there sometimes.... They do a good job, hand scrub it, do the undercarriage, etc. They charge pretty close to what I would spend in a self serve wash bay, and it comes out looking way better.

    No way in hell would I sit through a line of trucks to do it though, so I get the rant.

    He could be one of those losers who thinks he has a Jnr Kenworth. Just waiting for the stacks and mud flap kit to come in.

    Yes, now that is annoying! Especially when they pull in backwards and try to use the satellite pump. LOL. Sometimes they will even try to use the pump from the next bay.
