BEFORE YOU CONTRACT

How to know when fleet detailing pays back.

When work truck detailing pays back

Fleet detailing is operating math. The call usually comes when one of three things gives. Vehicles look bad at customer touchpoints. Drivers are losing real hours every week to gas-station wash bays. A resale window is opening and the lot is going to need rehab before sale unless someone is keeping it presentable in the meantime. We walk the yard with your ops POC. Count vehicles, see the parking layout, find the water and drainage situation. Talk about the route windows when vehicles are actually parked. The proposal that follows is per-vehicle pricing, fixed, with a 30-day pilot option if you'd rather sample before signing.

What the yard walk covers

Vehicle count by type. Yard footprint and drainage. Customer-touchpoint vs back-of-house standard, because not every vehicle needs the same visible condition. Wrap and decal condition, if there's branding. Existing wash routine and the time drivers spend on it now. Power and water access (or whether we run off our own tank, which is most of the time). After-hours access if your fleet runs daytime routes. Yard walk takes 30 to 60 minutes. About a fifth of yards we walk turn out to need a wash-bay arrangement instead of a route, and we tell you that on the walk, not in the proposal.

WHAT WE LOOK AT

What we look at on the yard walk

The diagnosis is the actual work. Here is what we check before we touch your vehicle, and why each one matters.

01
Vehicle count and types
Twelve same-type Sprinter vans price differently than 12 mixed vehicles (four sedans, four vans, four box trucks). Single-type fleets run efficient routes because every vehicle is the same setup. Mixed fleets add time for product changes and access differences. We count and categorize during the yard walk so per-vehicle pricing reflects actual time, not a flat number.
02
Yard layout
Mobile route work needs water access (or our tank), drainage that doesn't violate the lease, working lighting if we run early or late, and enough parking density that we're not driving fifty yards between vehicles. We walk the yard during the proposal phase. About a fifth of yards turn out to need a wash-bay arrangement instead of route work. Better to know that before the contract is signed than the first work morning.
03
Route windows
When vehicles are parked and when they're on the road decides when we can work. Last-mile fleets parked from 7 PM to 6 AM get a four-hour window. Long-haul fleets dropping weekly get a more flexible schedule. We map the windows during the proposal phase. The schedule is part of the contract, not a guess we make week by week.
04
Customer-touchpoint vehicles
Not every vehicle in the fleet needs the same visible-condition standard. Customer-facing vehicles (delivery vans with branding, service trucks at customer homes) need a higher standard than back-of-house yard trucks. We work with you to sort which is which, and price the tier accordingly. Keeps the brand-facing vehicles right without paying showroom condition for the trailer that never sees a customer.
05
Existing wash routine
Drivers running through gas-station tunnels for years have accumulated paint damage that needs rehab before maintenance washing pays back. So we quote the rehab separately from the ongoing program. The math is transparent. Eighteen vehicles needing single-stage correction up front is real work. Pretending it isn't and amortizing it across the contract is how some operators lose money on fleet accounts.
06
Wrap and branding protection
Branded vehicles (vinyl wraps, decals, DOT signage) need wrap-safe chemistry. No harsh degreasers. No edge-attacking solvents. No pressure washing at wrap edges. We identify wrap age and condition during the yard walk, use vinyl-specific chemistry on every wash, and flag edges already lifting. Wrap damage from wrong wash chemistry is a four-figure problem we won't cause.
