M Focus on: Fleet Service & Management
Fayetteville builds new wash for growing fleet By JUDE STRIEBY | The Municipal
One doesn’t often give town work vehicles a second glance, but they’d be noticed for the wrong reason if they were dirty or unkempt. Keeping the vehicles of a town’s fleet clean is one of the tasks in the background of maintaining equipment used in managing a municipality. Often, it’s just a smaller portion of a town budget, but after a certain level of city growth, it can become far more expensive than is viable if there is no designated wash system in place.
