Fleetwash, Inc. services

Basic truck washing is performed daily by our mobile units. Over 600 of these vehicles operate daily serving small and large companies. Our field people all wash vehicles according to procedures that we have standardized around the country. All our equipment is built in our own manufacturing plant in Fairfield, NJ and Phoenix AZ. All cleaning chemicals used are biodegradable and all waste water is processed through our complete recovery system.

Spill Response: Even the most careful company can experience an oil, chemical or other environment-compromising spill. It is the action you take immediately after the spill that counts. Fleetwash has created a 24-Hour Spill Response team that stands ready to get your operation back on line after a spill. Our teams are trained in the handling of caustic materials. Our responsiveness can save you a lot of money.

Fleetwash is capable of cleaning brick, block, concrete and stucco surfaces. We custom blend our cleaning chemicals depending on the age of the building with a special formula for new construction. Fleetwash technicians are trained in Fall Prevention, and are provided with all necessary safety equipment including: Restraining Harnesses, lanyards and shock absorbing cables, goggles, non-skid boots, gloves etc.

Once contained, waste water has to be physically removed from the parking surface. In the early days of development, waste water was picked up by electric sump pumps, but these required generators and lengths of cable that proved unsafe in the wet washing conditions. Research led us to technology used by the carpet cleaning industry: a high powered air blower used to create suction in a vacuum tank.

The vacuum system collects all the waste water in a tank either in the wash van or in a separate vac-tank truck. The wash vans carry 150 gallons of waste water and the vac-tanks carry 500 gallons. Tank vehicles have a separate vacuum system to add to the effectiveness of the system, they are capable of recovery on their own. All waste tanks are sealed and locked to prevent spilling or unauthorized dumping. Only supervisors and operations managers have the keys to these tanks. Supervisors operate the tank vehicles and collect the waste water from different sites in addition to inspecting the work quality. Supervisors are held personally responsible for unauthorized releases of waste water.

The final step in the total recovery process is elimination, the most important and most difficult part of the process. Although isolation, collection and transportation of waste water are accomplished by many other companies, the proper final elimination is the most critical process and is usually their downfall. Fleetwash has experimented with several different approaches to the elimination process over many years. After early attempts at evaporation-based and recycling water recovery systems, we have arrived at our current method using filters, settling tanks, and chemical treatment combined with a sanitary drain discharge.
