Mobile wash setup help

If you are washing semi's you might want to look into a hot water pressure washer (I have no idea on price).

for a hot pressure washer I didn't really see anything under 5K lol a bit out of my range at the moment. I know i went a little overboard with the trailer i chose lol, but I plan on using it for other things, like when I do flooring or trim trees on the side.

I worked Frac for almost 2 years and had enough of working 160+ hours a week

•If you worked a seven day work schedule...
-That only averages to around 22.86 work-hours each day.

•I guess that's a valid enough reason for quitting.

I think you will find the trailer to be a PITA. When I first started I wanted one real bad, then one day I asked my self if it would had made me money or lost me money. I realized that many places I had been the trailer would not have fit.
Generator, I added a PowerBastards.com large alternator, along with a 5000 watt inverter. For a $1000 I have 5000k watts. Runs real quiet.
I also bought a thankless water heater that runs off propane. Hot water is to die for in this business. I live in Dallas, the hot water is GREAT in the winter. I got a Tornador, with a large 20 gallon Dewalt air compressor. Nothing cleans like it. I hardly us my steamer any more.
My 2 cents.

Hello all, I finally made an account but ive been lurking these forums for a awhile. I live in west Texas where the heart of the oil boom in Texas is. I worked Frac for almost 2 years and had enough of working 160+ hours a week and with the oil feild slowing i decided to get out and use some of the money i have saved up to start my own mobile wash. I already have a contract to wash 4 18 wheelers a week but mostly wanna focus on cars but ill do what i have to, to get started. As of now I have a truck a trailer, 330 gallon water tank that will be filled with R/O water, and a ONE Plus Steam Cleaner by Dupray . I need help picking a pressure washer and if I should run a tool like the Tornado, and what generator. I have about 1,800 dollars left that i wanted to spend. I also need to purchase supplies like brushes and chemicals. If yall had 1800 left to spend what route and tools would you buy conisdering you will be washing 18 wheelers (water haulers) so i know i need a strong PSI pressure wahser i found a OneWash by Generac that you can adjust PSI (2000-3100) anyways what are yall ideas?

Yes it was horrible all I knew was work and sleep no life, I left college to join the oilfield who wouldn't at a young age when you can make 100K+ a year with no degree. I wasn't out there swinging a sledge hammer or nothing and I did achieve a 100K income. Not going to lie at a young age I blew through that money and still wondering where some of it went.... I could of stayed and kelp making good money but the cost of having no life was something i was not willing to pay anymore and why should? I i don't have kids or a wife no reason to be out there slaving my youth away. Im actually about 1.5 years away from mechanical engineering degree, so the decision came easy to me when i had enough of the oilfield life. So I plan on going back to school starting with summer 1. Im hoping this will make me enough to pay my bills and get me through the rest of my schooling. I have made a lot of mistakes in my life and its time to clean it up...... no pun intended lol

also it should of read 160+ ever 2 weeks sorry for the typo.

[Invictus]

but it usually added up to about 16-18 hours a day with maybe 1 and a half days off. So on your day off you where usally asleep trying to catch up on rest.
