    Another Long Day!

    I am killing myself!

    Had 2 washes this morning, was going to be an easy day. pffffft...... i can't get off that easy now. lol

    I get a call from an owner of a trailer mfg. co. VERY high end horse/camper trailers. sell for $100K and up. ( Bloomer Trailers )
    Anyways, I get the call, seen my ad in the yellow pages. Said it was sort of an emergency, and they needed a truck washed for a commercial they were shooting at their location. I told them to let me call back. Called up a guy I know and seen if he wanted to work for the rest of the day with me. Picked him up, called the owner back, and I was on my way. Was a few towns away, but always a pleasure going there. Get there, and there are 4 vehicles they want done..... lol. I wasn't ready....lol

    Red Dodge 3500 dually.... had to do this one first, as he was off to a show.
    White Chevy 3500 Dually, FULL OF BUGS!!!!! yuck
    Black Hummer....any hummer is a PIA
    and this......(cell phone pic)


    one of the Dodge


    didn't have my camera on me, which was a bummer.....

    They want to set up weekly washes....should have several more....

    So today was a long day.

    In the business world, the rear-view mirror is always clearer than the windshield.

    Chris, you're going to wear yourself out! Well I guess that means business is good . Seems like you made the right move with putting the ad in the phone book...

    That International is one fine looking rig! Good luck keeping up with that, lol.

    That dually is mean looking, I got one I'm doing tomorrow looking forward on doing it up for a co-worker of mine.

    To bad no pictures but man I can just imagine what they looked like at the end. So with a two man crew how long did it take you guys to complete all vehicles?

    Sure sounds like business is looking up for you, just think how many vehicles are out there on the road? Well I don't have the number but lots.

    Well done, thanks for sharing.

    I wish I got paid for my details, oh well that was for sure a busy day. I can do my truck in one day so I dont know how you did that many all bigger than mine.....

    One day I will own one of those big ace internationals, I have nothing to tow but I think they are cool anyway.

    First time I saw the post I thought of Meghan when seeing this truck. Not sure how she'd get in and out, but definetely seems like her deal. I cannot however for the life of me imagine detailing that thing.
