Working in Toledo
Winter salt and summer road film, bugs and pollen call for different wash programs through the year. Refrigerated trailers also need closer sanitation in humid months, so ask whether the route changes with the seasons and how wash runoff is handled.

Questions
Do you take rail car and fleet washing jobs in Toledo?
Yes. Requests from Toledo, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus and the rest of Ohio are handled the same way. Use the quote form on this page, or email [email protected] with the service, the address and the timing.
Do you clean rail cars where they sit?
Yes. The service is mobile: wash equipment, water and runoff capture come to your yard, siding, depot or terminal, so cars do not need to be moved for cleaning.
How do you handle wash water and runoff?
Containment and capture of wash water are planned before work starts and written into the quote, including how the captured water is disposed of and what paperwork you receive. Requirements vary by site and municipality, so they are confirmed during the site visit.
How do you work within rail-yard safety rules?
Your yard or depot safety requirements come first. Tell us in your email about blue-flag protection, site orientation, PPE, radio or escort requirements, and they are built into the plan. A site contact is agreed before the first visit.
Do you wash tank cars, boxcars, hoppers and locomotives?
Yes. Exterior washing of tank cars, boxcars, hoppers, gondolas and flatcars, interior sweep-out and wash where the commodity allows it, and locomotive exterior washing. The detergents and methods depend on the unit and its use.
Do you wash buses and truck fleets too?
Yes. The same mobile model applies: the wash comes to your yard or depot on a schedule.
