    I am trying to gather any input I can about the need and potential use of a truck wash in the Williston area.

    We are investigating the potential for a drive thru tunnel wash that will handle all sizes of trucks.

    Any feed back about the # of washes you might use per year, cost you would be willing to pay, would you use it more frequently if it was less that 10 minutes start to finish

    Thanks for any feedback

    Where's Williston at? The only one I know of is in ND. Location is the key, whether it's by a truck stop or reefers need wash outs regularly near customers.


    The thing about trucks is they develop a lot of road grime that really needs a brush or hand washed.

    Some companies have them drive thru washes. When I went through school I worked part time in the truck wash. We would still brush them before sending them through the automated wash.

    A lot of drivers like to keep their truck clean. Owner operators maybe weekly and companies will budget like one a month.

    Many companies have various accounts around the country. Blue Beacon has a big customer base.

    Here's their price list.

    He's referring to the muddy roads in N.D. where the trucks get real dirty. It would take more than 10 minutes to get them clean, plus, since they're going to get back in it immediately, why wash it ? I'm talking about the oil field drivers running local. With a wand and steaming hot water, it would take much longer than 10 minutes to wash that rascal.
