OK help! here`s my situation......
I`ve been detailing in the retail market since I started, you know, cars, pickups, suvs.... but I have never had to price out a fleet job. It is an equipment rental company with 6 full size pickups and 4 flat bed trailer cabs, not the big 18 wheeler rigs, just the regular 2 seater freight type cabs.
Here`s what they want.....
They`re all white. They get muddy, but nothing a good pressure wash can`t handle. They want them done quarterly. It`s just me, so obviously I can`t do them all in a day, which isn`t a problem, we were going to work out some sort of rotation schedule. As far as detailing goes, I`m thinking basic.... wash, dry, vacuum, wipe down interior, dress wheels trim and dash, clean windows, and a spray wax.
Now the pickups will take between 1-1.5 hr each, and I`m thinking at least $65-75 each. The big cabs probably $100-$120 and around 2-2.5 hr each (if they want me to pressure wash the flat bed trailers also, that will add time and money)
My other thought was to do the job by the hour. Around a $40-45 hr rate. I`m figuring on and 8-10 hr day. they both have there + and -. If I do them faster than what I`m allowing, per truck would be the way to go. If I`m totally off on my time calculations then obviously hourly would be the better choice. One other development is I`ll be using there water and electricity so I have to figure that in. I know it will cost them pennies but they asked me to work it in to the quote.
well there you have it. sorry if I drove any of you crazy with all this..... I`m very confident with my detailing skills.... it`s the business end I`m still learning. Any help would be really appreciated.
