    I think they should be called truck rinse.(Not Wash). My company has an account with blue beacon, so I have to use them.
    We have to pay more for brushing, just to get the truck mostly clean. They always miss someplace on the truck. I could under
    stand if we drove off road. If you complain they ask you to go through the line again, as the truck behind you is half way in the
    bay. My two cents.

    Pretty much any of the Blue Beacons. They can be hit or miss depending on how they are staffed,.. and their pricing is never consistent even though I ask for exactly the same thing every time,.. sometimes they do it for $76,.. other times they charge me as much as $110. The Blue Beacon in Hubbard Oh is one of my favorites.

    I also like the truck wash in Wildwood, Fl next to the T/A. I always stop in there on my way home.

    I'm in the same boat. Company has an account with bb. I don't think it would be as bad if they would pay for more than 2 washes a month. Driving flatbed it can get hard to get in there. I don't like getting washed when I have a tarped load and it seems whenever I'm untarped or empty I'm no where near a bb. I need a wash right now and I'm down in provo ut and had time to do it last night but wasn't going to run up to slc and back just to wash the truck.

    The Eagle truck wash at the Sapp in Commerce Co did a very good job for me last week. Only I truck in front of me. I will go back and see if they can repeat the experience.

    My favorite trk wash is the green lite here in Sioux City.They're not as attreacrive far as looks but they do an excellent job.Cost more then blue beacon but they take longer and take pride in their work.One time before going home for home time thought is stop there and was pleasantly suprised how well they did.I told them how good of a job their doing while cleaning trk and they gave trk a free wax.
