How often does your truck get washed

[PT Car Washer]

Ask them to clean out the back as well. When our rural trucks get bad we have the car washers take the hose and boom to the back and wash it all out. Good as new. Just make sure you tell your preloader in case the washers do a half ass job. We've had some preloaders just shrug and put boxes on a soaked floor.

That was my building 30+ years ago. Rural route trucks were hosed out every night. As a preloader I complained about the floor or shelves still being wet when we started loading. I had no idea what they looked like when the trucks came in the night before until I worked the Car Wash. Now it is up to the driver to clean his truck inside or outside. Still have FT car washers making $32+/hr to park the cars for preload and whatever for the next 3 or 4 hours after the cars are parked.

My job is to deliver and pick up packages. Isn't that why they have people who our car washers?

We got mechanics too but I still have to do an 85 point checkup on the truck every morning. And put my own oil in.

My driver's PC is washed at least once a week and it's not done that well but who am I to judge.

I would love to power wash the ing cab and cargo area though. Cat litter, silica beads, sand, pulverized pet food, grime...you guys know. Ahh, to polish the shelving, put on new labels...make it all look new just to see how nice it could look even if it only lasted a 1/2 day.

Not a car in our center has been washed since before peak. Local sort was given spray bottles of some kind of cleaner and paper towels to wipe down the inside of the cars after a building fire. The cars reaked pretty bad after the fire and after the drivers complained. That was management's resolution.

Our cars never get washed. It saves money that way. Who gives a if we can barely see out our windows and mirrors right?

They get washed everyday at our building unless the weather is bad

waste of water

always did the windshield myself with rain x, one of my pet peaves is visibility. Not sure how these drivers can drive around and see out or drive around with grease and a dashboard that looks like dust bowl.

FedEx trucks put UPS trucks to shame in the clean dept. In my building we have the manpower and hours just that management doesn't care.

 

[clean hairy]

Just imagine the poor mechanic who might have to get inside the dashboard to do a repair!
Guessing 1/2" of dust, grime and misc goop in there?

Maybe once a year in the spring when outbound volume is low and the pt need something to do to get 3.5 hours (if the spring rains havent taken care of it)

Once every 4 months whether it needs it or not.

But FedEx trucks don't carry the volume in them that we do so they don't get as dirty. Especially orange.
