Hey Guys,
I really hate piece work, however we really seem to be getting pushed into it.
As always the question is How Much?
I see this question being asked over and over again. A standard price is impossible to come up with as we are all from different regions. Would it not be a good idea instead to post something with average timelines to complete a piece?
This would enable everyone to see an average time, figure in their own costs and labour and make an educated decision. It would also be a point to refer to in order to gauge efficiency.
I'll start:
We use a 5gpm hot water pump, run at about 120 degrees when fleet washing. My husband can do 2.5 to 3 Highway Tractors an hour including under the hood. However, one of our guys takes 35 minutes a truck.
Another one we wash Bi-weekly, it's a small job but fits into the schedule no problem.
He Has 2 belly dumps and a Volvo Tractor. It takes our guys approximately 2 hours to complete.
We foam, then it still requires a light brush, rinse and done. No acid on these jobs.
Are they slow? Is my husband fast? Is our guy just slow?
What about the rest of you? Anyone care to add to this?
