Fleet or Flat or Hoods?

[FLEETWASHDUDE 14]

How many of you have chose one over the other and for what reason?

For me, fleet is steady but physically hard work and getting to be chemically expensive. When I fill up the rig with fuel, I cant help but think how I would much rather be washing that gas station fuel isle than going to wash a bunch of filthy trucks. Hood Cleaning seems like fun but I dont "know anything about it".

I also make my steady money from fleet washing, I love doing flat work cause its EASY money... I have also cleaned hoods for about 5 years and quit I don't like working all night cause of my kids and especially my wife being in that big ol' bed all alone....

I started on fleets, and now a large part of my biz is flatwork. I like having a minimal amount of employees.

Hood Cleaning seems like fun but I dont like the irregularity.

Huh? Think you got it backards, hood cleaning is the most regular of all the ones you mentioned.

Or dirtier, or worse hours.

I dont know much about hoods, how often do you try to schedule them?

[RMedbery 26]

Twice a day would be nice, havent had much luck with that. Best Ive been able to do is monthly.

It's steady but the majority is night work. Also the insurance is easilly triple what other pressure washing requires and must be SPECIFIC to KEC work.

And you meet the nicest people.

Hood are really easy, the ducts and fans are a different matter, which is why some companies don't clean those.

Acually some hoods are not that easy especial new accounts ,if you are doing it correctly there is more detailing to a hood then standing on the ground and pressure washing.

And most ducts and fans are not to bad to do its there and no acrobats to clean it.
