One of the best sectors for mobile car washing and fleet truck washing companies to be in is the cleaning of transportation services. For instance bus washing and light rail cars. These must be cleaned well to insure rider-ship and comply with Department of Transportation safety rules and regulations.

Marketing such services is the hard part, but luckily this also means there is little competition; nothing compared to fleet washing contracts for trucking companies and service fleets. Generally most of these types of contracts are sent out to bid and therefore you will have to qualify ahead of time to receive the solicitation.

Additionally you will need to meet with those in charge because if they do not like you, chances are you will not receive the bid, as most public agencies are only required to send them to 3-companies and private contractor bus companies can send them to whoever they like. It is best to volunteer to do a free wash to make sure they know you are capable.

The best way to get their attention is to hand deliver to the superintendent of transportation a one page letter explaining your companies qualifications with an attached business card and copy of insurance and waste-water permits to satisfy with the local NPDES permits. That is how you must go about it if you want these often huge contracts. Consider this in 2006.
