Omg finding this video was a blessing. When you mentioned that u tow that with a Prius my eyes popped! I am starting my business and I’m in the process of acquiring a trailer and I also have a Prius so I was so concerned about hauling a big trailer with water tanks on it. Would you share how much load was on the trailer on this video? Also did u ever drove with full tanks? I’ve seen that you’re supposed to keep heavier objects towards the front of the trailer, if they’re towards the back , it gets very unstable. Did u ever experience wobbles while driving or anything of any sort? Please share with me any experiences that would’ve made your life easier that you would change or that you would/ wouldn’t do different? Lol sorry for the humongous question it’s just that I’m in a very similar situation and it can be scary at times, so seeing someone do well and move forward like you simply fills me up with courage and strength!

I’m just starting off PW and there is quite a market for commercial fishing boat cleaning where I am. Not much information out there for that process.

Just getting started with my pressure washing business. Not sure how to price fleet washing. How much would you charge to wash 10 16ft box trucks?
@thomasweis
@thomasweis Год назад
I'd recommend calling local truck washes and see what they charge. In my honest opinion I would add 15 to 25% as you have to drive to them and what not. You can always try to charge by the hour too. Do you have to wash the inside too? Just outside I'd say $30 or so and 50$ if you do the inside. These trucks are in the $70 range and washed every two weeks on average
