Experts are predicating “a warmer, wetter-than-normal” winter this year for much of the United States. But as the colder weather approaches, it’s crucial that your fleet washing operation is prepared for freezing temperatures, potential snowfall, and road salt. Especially in the northern areas of the country.
As winter edges closer, fleet owners in colder areas of the United States and Canada are not looking forward to the additional maintenance they need to do. Road salt is notorious for corroding the undercarriage of cars, buses and semi-trucks alike.
Trucks quite literally keep the economy moving. About 3 million tractor-trailers in the US do most of the hauling of products and goods. And the drivers are responsible for safely steering them without any issues. Because of how important the job is, all drivers complete regular safety checks.

Keeping a fleet in top condition involves more than regular washes; it requires specialized products to tackle persistent challenges like caked-on road film and stubborn bug residue. Utilizing a soap or detergent that removes bug residue can be key because it is specifically formulated to tackle the issue with ease.
Cleaning your fleet is more than just hosing down your vehicles. It is about how effectively you clean it and whether it justifies the investment into the process. One way to ensure you get a spotless clean is through understanding your water quality, and more specifically, something called TDS. TDS stands for Total Dissolved Solids (TDS). While that sounds like a…
With summer in full swing, it’s important to understand how the heat can impact your fleet washing detergents, washing process, and overall cleaning results. High temperatures can influence the effectiveness of your cleaning solutions and add challenges.
As environmental challenges continue to evolve, the world needs to adapt to overcome them. Whether it's shrinking resources or climate change, it affects us all. But while we face these obstacles in our personal lives, they also impact businesses. And the fleet washing industry is no exception. At Hydro-Chem Systems, we strive to be the complete solution for fleet…
