The advantages of having a clean truck plows are:

• A good reflection on the company
• A positive example to the driver
• Better impression for the DOT
• Emphasis on customer satisfaction
• Less road dirt on the truck plow either weighing it down or causing wind resistance
• Reduced opportunity for winter road treatments to adversely affect the equipment

As the truck plows travel the North American roads, vehicles are under continuous assault from acids, bird droppings, insect and animal remains, miscellaneous gunk, road salts (especially this time of year) and other contaminants. In the road war against corrosion, grime and muck, the best strategy to combat the assault is keeping a clean fleet.

The ramifications of a dirty truck plow are many, as noted. The build-up of various road salts such as sodium chloride, calcium chloride and magnesium chloride this time of year especially, can lead to rusting and corrosion. The solution is simple, keep vehicles clean. Make sure truck washing is a part of the regular maintenance schedule.
