How do you wash a garbage truck or a refuse truck? Well this job is pretty tough considering garbage trucks are built in such a way that they have all these little boxes and holes where you are going to end up spraying. The water is going to come back in all different angles and soak you. So any dirt on a garbage truck is going to be on you when you are done. They are really hard to soap because you have to soap each individual square on the side of the entire garbage truck. You need to charge at least twenty dollars minimum to wash a garbage truck.
Chances are, they have a ton of them so twenty times a lot of trucks is a lot of money. If you are working for BFI, GreenTeam or a local municipality they’ll have upwards of forty plus trucks. It is not going to be easy work but it is going to be good money. These trucks have hydraulics in the front where all the hydraulic lifts are and it can be a fire hazard if you do not clean all of that grease. The mechanics usually over grease the hydraulic fittings. The drivers try to compact as much as they can into these trash trucks so they can do fewer trips to the dump. Each time they go to the dump it costs the company or city money.

This will make things even safer and secure when you cannot be in sight of your truck at all times.
There you are, driving along the highway in your 4X4 when you glance off to the side only to see an oh-so-inviting muddy logging trail. “Can’t pass this one up”, you say to yourself, as you tug on the steering wheel and head off to 4-wheeler’s heaven. Next thing you know, you’re using your cell phone (if it works out in no-man’s land) to call a tow truck. What happened? In the excitement of the moment, did you forget you still had highway tires on your truck? Oops!
Most light trucks come equipped with All Purpose tires, which are fine for everyday driving. But if you’re an offroad enthusiast, you’ll want to take the time to find the tire that’s perfect for your offroad adventures. And there are plenty of options.
Placing your car or truck for sale in an auto classifieds website is a great way to reach tons of potential buyers. But constructing a great ad is not child’s play. To generate a lot of interest in your vehicle, you must know how to create the perfect online listing. The necessary steps are outlined in five articles titled “Sell Your Car Online.”
The first step in placing a great ad is taking pictures of the car or truck that is for sale. You don’t just want to take any picture and post it on the internet. You want to post the best picture you possibly can. After all, the potential buyers that view your online listing want to see a picture that tells them something more than just the color of the vehicle. A good picture can convey the overall condition of the body, paint, interior, and more. A good, or near professional-quality, picture can seal the deal in the buyer’s mind.
How many stories do you remember of people being trapped in their cars during Winter storms? I can recall quite a few. Every year the news reports several of these stories.
