With the bigger trucks there aren't any local truck washes so it can be a couple weeks before we pass one again. Things can get pretty scroungy looking in a couple weeks!
Homeowners are probably on the radar screen next.

I heard that--I have a friend/client that owns pressure washing trucks and contracts with Coca Cola, ect....to wash their fleets on premises. Two years ago, he had to start carrying around what appears to be an oil boom (I think it is stuffed with human hair
), and reclaiming the water, then off to the disposal site. Talk about costs going up. Little overboard if you ask me, as he uses a very mild surficant detergent.
