Truck Service Tips: How to Keep Your Truck Clean

When you drive a quality truck from GATR Truck Center, it’s important to keep it well maintained. Maintenance doesn’t just include regular truck service, it’s also important to keep your truck clean too.

Set a Schedule

It’s important to set a cleaning schedule and stick to it. We recommend giving your truck an exterior wash at least once a week.

When you are driving through so many terrains and conditions, build-up happens quickly and can become tough to remove if it remains for too long.

This can compromise your truck’s exterior causing irreversible rust damage. Plus, of course, your company’s branding simply looks better on a clean truck.  

Make Cleaning Easy

It’s also a good idea to set aside a few minutes every day to clean your cabin. You spend a lot of time in your truck, you want it to be a place you are comfortable in. These simple tips can help make clean-up easy.

• Keep disinfectant wipes in your truck to quickly clean up sticky messes.
• Keep a small trash can or bag easily accessible so trash is less likely to accumulate.
• Store a small vacuum in your cabin to clean up crumbs, dust, and dirt.
• When possible, remove especially dirty boots and jackets before entering your cabin.

Develop a Storage System

Oftentimes, a semi-truck is a home away from home. Just like at home, it’s important to have a storage system to keep your cabin organized. Small tubs with lids not only help your cabin clutter-free, but they also help keep things rooted in one place.
