Fleetwash started its washing operation in 1973. The need for a mobile service was evident in the quickly expanding transportation and distribution industry in the greater New York City area. Many spawning companies had growing truck fleets that all needed to be cleaned, and the original mobile truck washing idea took off and grew rapidly through the 70's and continued to grow into the 80's.

In the late 80's and early 90's a new awareness arose concerning the washing of vehicles. New government agencies were showing themselves and industries found themselves developing an environmental awareness. The Clean Water Act moved into spotlight and much attention was drawn to activities that released pollutants into the waterways of the States.

Several of our high profile customers, long before they were visited by any government enforcement officers, initiated concerns involving wastewater and its effect on ground and stormwater pollution. They realized that the bad publicity attached to polluters was something to be avoided.
