A rolling billboard, when it's clean
A box truck has more flat, visible surface than any other vehicle you run. Your name is on it in letters two feet tall, and it spends the day in front of your customers and everyone else on I-15. When it's clean, that works for you. When it's gray with road film, it works against you.
Box trucks are also awkward to wash. They're too tall for most car washes, and sending a driver across the valley to a truck wash costs an hour or more per vehicle. We wash them where they park.
What a box truck wash includes

How we wash a box truck
- 1. Pre-rinse. Loose grime and salt come off from the top down.
- 2. Soap. A truck wash soap is applied to the whole box, cab and chassis.
- 3. Brush. Soft brushes on the box sides, rear door and cab, by hand.
- 4. Rinse. Top to bottom, including wheels, steps and liftgate.
- 5. Finish. Cab glass and mirrors are cleaned so drivers can see.
The parts that get missed
The roof line and top rail. Grime runs down from the roof in streaks after every rain. We wash from the top so the sides stay clean longer.
The rear door. Roll-up doors collect exhaust soot and road spray, and they're what the driver behind you stares at. We brush them panel by panel.
Liftgates and steps. Salt sits in liftgate hinges and platform edges. We rinse them thoroughly, since that is where corrosion starts.
Fuel tanks, battery boxes and frame. The polished and painted parts along the frame are brushed and rinsed.
Wraps, decals and painted boxes
Aluminum and fiberglass boxes, vinyl wraps and cut lettering all need different care. We use soaps that are safe on wraps, soft brushes on painted boxes, and keep pressure off decal edges and seams. If your boxes have oxidized and gone chalky, tell us and we'll talk through what washing can and can't improve.
Winter along the I-15 corridor
From the first storm, I-15, I-215 and the surface streets through Midvale and Murray are salted and treated with liquid deicer. Box trucks carry it on the underbody, the rear frame and the liftgate. During inversions a gray film settles on top.
Winter washes include an underbody and wheel rinse on every truck. Washing regularly through the season costs far less than replacing a seized liftgate or corroded wiring.
Questions about box truck washing in Salt Lake City
What sizes of box truck do you wash?
Cutaway vans and 12-foot trucks up to 26-foot straight trucks. Tell us the sizes and how many when you ask for a quote.
Can you wash trucks at a loading dock?
Yes, when the trucks are parked and the dock isn't in use. We schedule around your loading times.
Do you wash refrigerated trucks?
Yes. We wash the exterior of the box and cab and keep water away from the refrigeration unit's electrical components.
How often should box trucks be washed?
Every two weeks suits most fleets. Weekly makes sense in winter or for trucks that are the face of the business.
Do you need our water or power?
No. We bring both.
