The service
Truck & Fleet Washing
What is truck and fleet washing?
Truck and fleet washing removes road film, diesel soot, mud and grime from box trucks, vans, dump trucks, trailers and heavy equipment. Paint, wraps and decals are washed with suitable methods so branding looks sharp, with extra attention to undercarriages and work bodies.
Every vehicle on the road carries your brand. Road film, diesel soot, mud and grime make even a well-run fleet look neglected. Fleet washing keeps trucks presentable and makes inspection and maintenance easier.
Vehicles are washed with methods suited to paint, wraps and decals, with attention to undercarriages and work bodies.

What truck & fleet washing removes
Washing lifts road film, diesel soot, baked-on mud from wheel wells, and the grime that collects on dump bodies, trailer skins and cab exteriors. It also clears dirt from wraps and lettering so branding reads clean instead of dusty, and pulls debris out of grilles, mirrors and door seams that build up on vehicles that run routes all week.
What cleaning can't fix
Washing will not fix faded or oxidized paint, peeling clear coat, or wraps that are already cracking and lifting at the edges — those need body or wrap shop work. Rust that has already eaten into panels or frames will not polish out, and deep scratches or decal ghosting from old graphics stay visible after a wash. Chronic undercarriage corrosion from road salt or chemical exposure is a maintenance issue, not a cleaning one.
How we do it, and why this method
Each vehicle is approached by surface: painted panels and wraps get lower pressure and wider fan tips to avoid lifting edges or dulling clear coat, while undercarriages, wheel wells and work bodies take higher pressure since they're built for abuse. Detergent suited to diesel soot and road film is applied first and given a short dwell time before rinsing, rather than relying on pressure alone to strip grime off paint.
Work bodies like dump beds and flatbeds are treated more like equipment than vehicles — grease and tracked-in debris get a heavier pass. Trailers and box trucks are rinsed top-down so dirty water carries away from, not back onto, cleaned panels.
What affects the cost
- Vehicle count and body style change how long a yard visit takes.
- Dump beds and work bodies need extra degreasing time compared to a plain van.
- Wraps and decals call for slower, careful passes rather than a quick blast.
- Yard access, water source and drainage at your site affect setup time.
- How often washing happens changes how much grime has built up per visit.
- Undercarriage condition and caked mud add time beyond a surface rinse.

When to schedule
Fleets that run in rain, construction dust or near coastal air tend to need washing more often than vehicles parked indoors or used lightly. Many operators set a recurring schedule — weekly, biweekly or monthly — tied to how visible the fleet is to customers and how fast grime builds on the routes it runs. Seasonal construction pushes and wrap launches are common times to tighten the interval temporarily.
What to expect on the day
We confirm a time window with your dispatcher or yard manager and arrange water access on site, since fleet washing is typically done in your yard rather than ours. Vehicles should be parked with some space between them so we can work around each one, and any loose cargo or equipment on work bodies should be cleared or secured. Washing moves vehicle to vehicle; most dry on their own in open air, though cabs and mirrors can be wiped if needed.

Questions
Truck & Fleet Washing FAQ
Can you wash vehicles at our yard?
On-site washing is discussed during the quote based on your yard and conditions.
Are wraps safe to wash?
Wraps and decals are washed with appropriate pressure and distance to avoid lifting edges.
Do you wash the fleet all at once or in batches?
Either works. Many fleets are washed in batches so some vehicles stay available for routes while others are being cleaned.
Will washing affect DOT numbers or required signage?
No — those areas are cleaned like any other painted surface and nothing is removed or altered.
Can interiors be cleaned at the same time?
No, this service covers exteriors. Interior detailing is a separate trade.
What if a vehicle is out on a route during our scheduled visit?
Let us know ahead of time so we can adjust the order or reschedule that vehicle.
