Mobile washing for sleeper cabs, day cabs, dry van trailers, and owner-op rigs. Hot water wash • After-hours service • On-site at your yard.
The Problem
Bug strikes baked into the hood and windshield wipers. Brake dust plated onto polished aluminum wheels. Diesel film striped across the chassis from the fifth wheel back. Salt corrosion eating at frame seams in winter, road tar collecting at fender skirts in summer. Same truck, different residue every season — and Pekin/Peoria sits at the convergence of I-74, I-155, and I-474, so OTR mileage piles up fast on a Central Illinois fleet.
For owner-operators, presentation is part of the rate. Brokers and shippers see the truck before they see the driver. A clean rig signals a careful driver and a current truck — both translate to higher-paying loads. For fleet managers running 20+ rigs, the math is the same at scale: clean trucks pass DOT scales faster, sustain fewer roadside violations, hold resale value longer, and recruit better drivers. Drivers don't want to climb into a unit that looks neglected.
The wash bay forty miles down I-74 isn't the answer. Quarter-inch coin-op nozzles don't lift baked bug strikes. Touchless tunnel washes scratch decals and miss the parts that actually get inspected at scale houses. And neither comes to your yard at 9 PM when your trucks are finally home and your drivers are off the clock. We do.
Our Approach
We bring a hot water wash system to your yard — high-pressure heat at the wand paired with bug-cutter pre-soak for the front and chassis degreaser for the underside. Heat is the difference between moving residue around and lifting it off. Cold water at the same pressure smears bug protein into the paint pattern. Our trucks carry their own water and reclaim equipment, so the runoff goes home with us.
We work after hours. OTR drivers are home only when other people are asleep. We schedule around your dispatch and your driver schedules — not the other way around. Same crew, same route, same quality — every visit. Crews learn your fleet: which units are owner-op (different presentation standard), which are dry-van company tractors, which sleeper cabs need driver-side priority because that side faces traffic on the next morning's pull.
For OTR fleets, attention goes where road residue concentrates: hoods and windshield surrounds for bug strikes, polished aluminum wheels and tank steps for brake dust, frame rails and the fifth-wheel area for diesel film, dry-van trailer skins for graphics preservation, and undercarriages for winter salt corrosion. We're fully insured and carry COI on request for any broker or shipper that asks.
Hood, windshield surround, fairings, sleeper sides, vents. Bug-strike removal, polished aluminum care, decal preservation. Driver-side detail prioritized for trucks running parade routes.
Cab, hood, fairings, fifth-wheel area, frame rails. Diesel-film cleanup behind the cab where road grime concentrates. Restores DOT-compliant lighting and reflective tape visibility.
Sidewalls, roll-up doors, roof edges, ICC bar. Decal-safe chemistry, graphic preservation, no high pressure on logos and DOT numbers. Trailer interiors are not part of our scope.
Wheels, tank steps, fuel tanks, deck plates. Heavy brake dust and road-tar splash. Aluminum-safe pressure and chemistry — no acid that hazes, no abrasives that swirl.
Higher-detail standard, longer dwell, careful around chrome and lighting accents. Quoted separately from a routine fleet wash — this is the truck you bring to truck shows and broker meetings.
Yes. Hot water at the wand combined with a bug-cutter pre-soak lifts baked protein residue that cold-water washes cannot. The technique distinction matters — cold water at high pressure smears bug residue deeper into the paint pattern, and most coin-op bays only have cold water. We bring the heat to your yard.
Yes. Polished aluminum on wheels, tank steps, and fuel tanks requires aluminum-safe chemistry and controlled pressure — no acid pre-wash, no abrasive brushes. Brake-dust removal is a routine part of every wash for OTR fleets; the technique keeps the finish intact for owner-operators running show trucks and for fleet rigs alike.
Roughly twenty to thirty minutes for a thorough exterior wash on a routine visit; longer for sleeper cabs requiring detail work or rigs returning from long-haul winter routes with heavy salt. Fleet visits with multiple rigs are scheduled together to keep the per-unit time efficient.
Yes. Owner-operator washes are part of our regular work and we treat the presentation standard differently from a routine fleet wash. Show-truck-level detail with longer dwell time and careful chrome and lighting work is quoted separately. Many of our owner-operator customers are on biweekly or monthly recurring visits.
Pricing depends on fleet mix (sleepers vs. day cabs, wrapped vs. painted, dry vans included or not), visit frequency, and yard logistics. We do not publish flat rates because fleet profiles vary widely. A free demo wash on one or two of your dirtiest rigs is the fastest path to a real contract quote.
