the ones on the motorway services, anyone know what they charge? i.e artic and curtainsider, or just the cab in the case of someone maybe pulling a container?
£25 for an artic I think.
£24.50 at the one near us for an artic and it’s ALWAYS busy!
it is about £25 for whatever trailer you have on. i used to get the unit done for £12 but they didnt like doing it.
i always use the anti clock clacket lane one not sure what the price is, as always pay by red fuel card
£25?!?!? That much and half of em don’t even do a decent job of it, wish thay had self service ones like the jet wash you have for cars at some petrol stations

No thanks, when I look at filthy, soaking and miserable truck washers from the warmth of my cab in mid-December I always think “How on earth do they find anyone to do that job?”

The only decent jetwash I ever found in the UK was at Tebay over the cattle grid
Had mine done yesterday at rownhams services,think it was £17.00 (3 axle rigid and crane) not a bad job,would of done better myself but it was not me getting wet and cold! and having to set up cleaner machine etc so well worth the 17.00.
We have our vehicles cleaned at the new one at Donington Park services. They have done a good job when i have been through.

Will enquire of the company tomorrow whether they pay for this…as far as i know, we only have one depot with our own jetwash and that is Southampton…
lpw at lymm is a good truck wash not sure on price cause we have an account with lpw just dont use immingham there rubbish only half a job.
The best one is the original one at Thurrock, all of the others seem to be half-arsed franchaised efforts who run up and down the trailer with some Heath-Robinson contraption powered by a lawn-mower engine which doesn’t actually seem to do very much.
Silvertown, Lymm, Purfleet and Manchester are spot on, how about the others? where is the waste water and detergent going, down the rain water sewer?

I believe all vehicle washes have to recycle their own water nowadays.
