Fleet Clean Systems was founded in 2009. The principal and key personnel have been in the truck-washing industry for many years and have dedicated thousands of hours to learning the intricacies of the field. Fleet Clean developed processes to deliver a better truck wash to its customers using the team’s extensive experience and the founder’s strong drive for excellence.
Included in those processes is a formula for providing the best truck wash available, using hand brush washing for the ultimate clean. Fleet Clean learned from experience what it takes to provide the best and most efficient truck wash and has put that knowledge into practice and on paper.
Fleet Clean Systems, Inc., was founded in 2014 to bring these excellent processes to more customers by franchising the business. Fleet Clean Systems, Inc., the franchising arm of Fleet Clean, makes it very easy for a franchise owner to hit the ground running and successfully own and operate a fleet washing business.
