Having a clean truck says everything about the driver, the customer and the company.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Finding and hiring professional drivers is a top priority for any trucking company or fleet operator.\u00a0 There are few organizations that are not looking for a good driver with a proven safety record that is willing to care for the equipment and promote the company.\u00a0 A great way to recruit professionals is to maintain a good fleet of vehicles and keeping them clean is a big factor.<\/p>\n

Allowing the driver to clean the truck while out on the road is important and so is having a clean truck when they arrive for the next week\u2019s work.\u00a0 Think how important it is to have a truck free of grease, mud, oil, bugs and road film, no window or mirror washing and no putting on gloves to open the hood before you get started.<\/p>\n

Trucking is a very competitive business and a fleet needs every advantage possible.\u00a0 Let\u2019s consider that the ABC\u00a0company has sold a truckload of avocados to a street festival (a really big one) across the country.\u00a0 Which would they rather have sitting at the festival, greasy fly by night trucking or Mr. Clean transportation with a shine and a smile.\u00a0 Maybe a bit extreme for you but you get the picture. It is easier to sell service when the service is clean.\u00a0 Cleanliness means dependability.\u00a0 Every shipper and every customer wants to see a good looking, clean rig show up to haul their product.<\/p>\n

Ever been to a NASCAR<\/a> event?\u00a0 Wow!\u00a0 Did you see those rolling billboards?\u00a0 Each team has a tricked out, lettered up, spotless vehicle.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 Well, it is because cleanliness promotes the advertising plastered all over the trucks and race cars.\u00a0 Do you think that any of the drivers or road crews would accept second best from the vehicle cleaner?\u00a0 When I was in the business, I had a race customer that would only allow us to clean the vehicle with clear water and baby diapers.\u00a0 Over the top?\u00a0 Not for them.\u00a0 Image was everything to them and the driver was totally in charge.<\/p>\n

Which brings me back to the driver\u2019s benefit to operating something clean.\u00a0 Driving something clean says something about the operator.\u00a0 It says they care, it says the company cares, and it says the customer cares.\u00a0 It says, \u201cWe are a professional company that cares about our people, customers, and even the autos that pass each day.\u00a0 Taking pride in an otherwise thankless business makes for a higher level of job and life satisfaction.<\/p>\n
