In fact, many next-generation delivery vehicles stand at a non-traditional 9’ tall (108”). The problem inherent in achieving a spic-and-span delivery vehicle is that many of the newer model units are taller than the old-school plumbing vans and hotel shuttles that stand 7.5’ (90”). This must prompt the operators of delivery/service companies to invest in a vehicle wash that is capable of efficiently and reliably delivering a clean vehicle once it returns from long hours on the road, many of which can feature difficult travel routes and harsh conditions. Each vehicle is the face of the delivery company, meaning that it must be kept nice and clean, as a dirty, grimy, greasy exterior is off-putting to many customers. While keeping the fleet rolling is obviously paramount, another critical consideration is its appearance. And at the top of the list is keeping these trucks and vans in tip-top shape, lest operators incur excessive downtime that will hamper their ability to meet demanding delivery and appointment schedules.įor this, maintenance providers must keep a close eye on everything from tires and brakes to headlights and doors ( which open and close at a much higher frequency than other duty cycles). With the growth of last-mile commercial vehicles comes new challenges.
