if you charge $15.00 to wash a truck and it takes you less than or almost an hour plus chemicals gas and your time and an employee, you need to tell me the formula as to HOW you are making money like that, washing 10 trucks @ about 8.5 hours and you spend all day to make 150.00 sell your business.
Mrsimon181 You’d be surprised at what having something like a PWNA Certification will do for you as obtaining business in a competitive market. Also gives you a little more value in your service to customers, usually allowing you to charge a little more and not be part of the undercut competition. I thinking training is a great idea, especially for new businesses coming in to a competitive market. It’s also not a bad for those who don’t have knowledge on washing. Learning the chemicals and chemical reactions is a must. Sure you can research on the web and do a lot of reading to do so, but either way it needs to be done. I’ve seen some very expensive mistakes, putting people out of business due to the costs of the damages and loss of insurance or even just because of the damaged reputation.
That's bullcrap, your out of your mind. 15.00 a truck, please guy, I'll pay you 15.00 not to wash it. Sounds like someone's trying to get over. To polish, and detail a truck, your in the hundreds range.....
You're missing the point. For a fleet of 500 trucks at $15 a truck it's $7,500 for biweekly service. That's $15,000 a month in revenue! You just have to be upfront with clients that you're two stepping and not polishing and detailing like Steve is mentioning with his client and service type. I average 12 units an hour with my guys, we can pump out 60-80 a day. That's $$$$$
