truck wash

Semi cleaning station

A truck wash is a facility designed to clean commercial vehicles—semis, trailers, and other large trucks that won't fit through standard car washes.

The bays are sized for eighteen-wheelers, with high-pressure systems that can handle road grime, mud, and the particular filth that accumulates on long hauls.

The fleet manager requires drivers to hit the truck wash before returning to the yard.
