Who makes the best tunnel unmanned automated truck wash systems in the industry? There are several well-known companies, which do manufacture and install such systems. The reason why these are so popular is due to labor costs associated with cleaning trucks. Labor is of course the biggest cost in such an operation and with uncertain peak periods of demand, seasonality of weather and hours of operation the challenges to get everything to come together are immense indeed.

A good grille guard can be quite the versatile tool for your truck or SUV. In fact, grille guards better your driving experience with the following features:

- Tough looks that add a serious dose of attitude or style to your front end

Most people understand the importance of our transportation and distribution system in the United States. For those who don’t understand the importance; think for a second; “if you bought it, well then a truck brought it.” The words ‘keep on trucking’ may not mean much to you if you do not know someone who is a truck driver, but suffice it to say that if all the trucks stopped, people would run out of food on the shelves in a little less than one-week. They help our civilizations stay alive and thrive.

Most work trucks are equipped with anti-lock brakes (ABS). Chances are, you are paying 10%-15% less for vehicle insurance because of this feature. Now before you say; my insurance is up 30% in the past three years you moron. I say imagine if you added another 10-15% because you had regular brakes. This is great, but it will still take longer to stop your work vehicle than a normal car and of course, don’t forget reaction time. Cars don’t stop by themselves yet. Neither does your truck.

Truckers often complain about the four-wheelers. That is you and I in our personal automobiles. Trucking accidents were down in 2004 by the number of miles driven per accident. However they were slightly up as 11% more trucks are on the road because the economy picked up and more products had to be delivered to the consumer, that’s us too.

Most Truck Wash Entrepreneurs know that a good location is the key to success. But it is only one of the keys and there are several doors to go thru. Customer service, quality of wash and marketing must also be considered. So now that you have a worthy location for consideration, now what? Well I have some thoughts on the matter.

If you love trucks and 18 Wheelers then perhaps you might like to get into the truck detailing business. It may sound kind of funny to detail a big rig like you would a car, but believe it or not it can be lucrative business.

In the South there are many good businesses to get into. One interesting business is the truck washing business. Due to the weather and the amount of truck traffic off the major interstates trucks tend to get dirtier than in other parts of the country. The rain and the mud take their toll on a company’s image indeed. It is for this reason that if one were looking for a business that a “truck wash” might be an avenue to pursue?

Pollution Standards for trucks are changing and sulfur in diesel fuel is also changing and many truck manufacturers have been working on this for many years. Some are making quite a bit of head way indeed. Soon all over the road 18-wheelers will run more efficiently and cleaner. Let’s talk about one of those companies now; Daimler Chrysler with their Caterpillar partnership.

As truck ownership has increased in America, so has the amount of off-highway recreation. There is no special license required to drive off-road, even though there are many different techniques and practices involved. There does exist an often unspoken etiquette that is practiced by old-school four-wheelers, which developed not just so that everyone can get along on the trail, but, primarily, for safety considerations. With the availability of trail-ready 4×4’s, both in the traditional truck mold and outside of it, the slow and steady progression of four-wheeling initiation through involvement and camaraderie has been bypassed. The honor-by-association process misses the chance to be taught to the enthusiastic guy who just bought his first real 4×4.
