How To Start Truck Washes

By Melissa Kennedy


The haulage industry in Nigeria in most parts of Africa and the world has continued to grow. In Nigeria, the emergence of big industrial sector leaders like the Dangote Group, the increasing consumption of petroleum products in remote locations in Nigeria this means that the automobile business continues and would continue to grow in the coming years. Have a look at the following article taking us through the theme How to start truck washes.

You see, there are cleaning which do a retail type business, and cleaners owned by companies or government agencies doing their own fleets. Now then, I'd like to say that there is more automobile cleaning with automatic equipment today, but realize this is mostly because of all the old Ryko systems at municipal yards, automobile depots, military bases, ports, etc.

You should choose the automobile stops on any major routes leading by your business, within a 250 - 300 mile radius. Some automobile stops do have automobile washes on their property, or across the street. If this happens it might be difficult to advertise your automobile wash at those locations. However, often there are competing automobile stops across the freeway from each other, one with a automobile wash, and one without.

Location seems to be everything here. If the site is appropriate for the business and the use of automobiles, then the possibility of achievement is almost fifty per cent certain. Places to consider would be in the middle of interstate roads where automobiles break their journey daily.

Indeed, I can remember one time I was at a automobile stop in my mobile command center, and some cute gals came up to me and they asked me if I needed my automobile cleaned, then they handed me a flyer, and on the back of the flyer was a map of exactly how to get to the automobile cleaning facility. I smiled, because as a businessperson I knew exactly what they were doing.

However, with that said and the new robotic systems they are getting a lot better. My automobiles windows do leak a little bit, but the amount is insignificant. What about the future? Expect the trend in "Semi-Automated" Automobile Washes (trailers washed by machine, tractors by hand) to continue. Why? Because for the automobile washing industry this will help save labor, due to increased labor costs, ObamaCare amongst the reasons.

Expect a trend in "Fully-Automatic" Automobile Washes to grow moving forward. Why? Again, labor savings, lowering costs for fleet owner customers running redline to produce profit margins + the systems are getting better, better sensors in robotics, and lower cost of robotics. The engineers of these things are getting much better; the industry is ripe for these systems.

Then, mark out the path to enter the location and the path to use to exit. The best way is to ensure that the entrance gate is different from the exit gate to avoid accidents or traffic jams and delays. Think about installing a pit or ramps so that you could easily wash the under of the automobiles and to enable lubrication. You should also consider the locations for your equipment and materials and different activities connected with the automobile wash business on the premises and set these out also.
