Carwashers...

We have a team of Albanians, completely useless, not allowed to use detergent or hot water as it fades the paint quicker. They have in the past used scourers to remove marks from the paint and in the process make it worse. At the moment they wash our 40 odd vehicles every 4 days to save money so if i plough thru lots of mud then it stays like it for most of the week ir until someone writes DHL or something about someones mum in the dirt on the back

If every car was washed every night, at least two good things would happen. One being that it is the cheapest and best advertising image that we could hope for, and also a clean vehicle simply moves through the air more efficiently. If every vehicle in our fleet saved even 50 cents a day think about what the savings would be.

Sometimes it is the easiest things to change that would save the most money, but no one in Atlanta ever sees that.
Remember the UPS TV ad where washers were shown soaping down the planes with very long-handled brushes, and the voice said, "It saves fuel. Besides we like our planes clean?"

That was a lifetime ago in a company called United Parcel Service. This company is called UPS. It's different now.

Albanians wash your trucks?? Sounds kind of exotic.

Our regular carwash guy went on vaca last week and the relief guy washed all the trucks!!!! Guess he didn't get the memo.
