This is the major reason that I've stoped washing trucks almost alltogether. It makes no sense to run around all weekend with a three person crew to grosse 650.00 per day. At this you are making money but after deductions and all the rest of the BS you end up with min wage. No thanks Ill stick to commercial/industrial, buildings and car lots.

Because fleet managers won't wash all of their equipment at $35 per piece, and you guys are dreaming if you think that a bus company with 175 buses is going to let us come in there and charge them that. As much as I would like to drive out of there at the end of the day with $6,125.00 it ain't gonna happen! I'm happy if we gross $1500/day for a three man crew. I'd love it if they would pay more, but they won't because money isn't that easy to come by, especially with the way the economy is now.
