Fleet Washing in the Town the Oil Field Built
Kilgore’s downtown derricks are a monument to the boom, but the oil field never really left. Service companies, wireline crews, water haulers, roustabout outfits, and equipment yards still work out of Kilgore every day, running trucks down lease roads that coat everything in red-clay mud, crude residue, and diesel soot. Add the delivery vans, dump trucks, and trade fleets that serve the rest of Gregg and Rusk counties, and there is a lot of iron in this town that needs washing. A dirty rig is more than a cosmetic problem: it hides rust and damage, wears out wraps and paint, and tells every customer and inspector who sees it something you do not want said about your company.
We wash fleets on-site at your Kilgore yard, so your trucks never burn route hours sitting at a wash bay. The process is built for oil-field grime: a degreaser pass first to break down the crude film, diesel soot, and hydraulic residue that plain water only smears, then a controlled-pressure wash that strips the mud and road film without driving water past door seals, electrical connectors, or sensor housings. Wheels, tanks, toolboxes, and frames get the same attention as the cab, and heavy equipment, from backhoes to pump trailers, gets washed right where it sits.
Most Kilgore fleet work runs on a recurring account, weekly, biweekly, or monthly, timed around your dispatch schedule so units get cleaned before the morning rollout or after the evening return. Recurring accounts get one simple invoice instead of a stack of wash tickets, and the schedule flexes when your workload does. We are based in Marshall, an easy run over on I-20 and Highway 259, so there is no travel fee anywhere in Rusk County or Gregg County, and we scale from a three-van service company to a full yard of heavy trucks without breaking stride. If your operation splits time between a Kilgore yard and locations in Longview or Henderson, we can route the whole account on one schedule so every unit gets the same standard no matter where it parks.
More Than a Rinse: What a Real Fleet Program Covers
Oil-field equipment is its own animal. Pipe racks, pump jacks on location, frac tanks, skid units, and trailers come back from a job carrying a mix of crude, drilling mud, and clay that sets up like paint if it sits. We carry the chemistry to break that mix down and the judgment to know where high pressure helps and where it hurts, because blasting water into a panel box or a greased fitting creates a repair bill, not a clean machine. Decals, wraps, and lettering get worked around carefully; regular washing actually extends their life by getting the grit off before it grinds in.
A clean fleet also pays off where it counts. Drivers with clean glass, mirrors, lights, and plates clear DOT roadside checks faster, and a washed truck shows its rust, leaks, and body damage early, while they are still cheap to fix. Your yard benefits too: we can add the shop apron, fuel island, and yard concrete to the same visit, degreasing the slab where the trucks drip so the whole operation reads sharp when a customer or an auditor walks it. That is the difference between paying for a rinse and running a fleet program. Plenty of Kilgore companies started with a one-time cleanup before an audit or a customer visit and stayed on a schedule once they saw what a consistently clean yard did for them.
Wash water gets handled responsibly on every job. Degreasing runoff does not belong in a storm drain, so we control the flow, use containment where the site calls for it, and leave your yard cleaner than we found it in every sense. If your company answers to a landlord, a corporate office, or an environmental clause in a service agreement, we will work to the standard it requires and document what we did.
How Kilgore Fleet Accounts Work
Built around dispatch, priced by the unit, billed on one invoice.
Oil-Field Grime Is Our Lane
Crude residue, drilling mud, diesel soot, and red clay off the lease roads around Kilgore do not rinse off with plain water. We pre-treat with degreaser to break the bond, then wash, so the grime lifts instead of smearing. Equipment that has sat dirty for months takes an extra pass, and we plan for that instead of charging surprise add-ons.
Your Yard, Your Schedule
We come to you, early, late, or on weekends, and wash between routes so no truck loses work hours. Dispatch sets the window; we build the route around it. Crews running nights get their units washed during the day, day crews get evenings, and nothing sits waiting on us when a call comes in.
Inspection-Ready, One Invoice
Clean lights, glass, plates, and mirrors help drivers clear DOT checks, and a regular wash surfaces rust and leaks while they are still small. Recurring accounts get one monthly invoice with every unit listed, so your office reconciles a single line instead of a glovebox full of wash receipts.

Fleet Washing Questions
Do you wash fleets on-site at our Kilgore yard?
Yes. We bring the equipment, water, and crew to your lot, so your trucks never leave the yard and your drivers never sit at a wash bay. We work around your dispatch window, before the morning rollout, after the evening return, or on a weekend, and we set a standing schedule so the fleet stays clean without anyone having to think about it.
Can you handle oil-field equipment, not just trucks?
Yes, and around Kilgore that is half the work. Skid units, pump trailers, frac tanks, pipe racks, and heavy equipment all get washed where they sit. Crude residue and drilling mud take a degreaser pass and the right dwell time, and we know where high pressure helps and where it damages fittings, panels, and hydraulics. Clean equipment is easier to inspect, service, and rent out.
How does recurring fleet billing work?
Pick a cadence, weekly, biweekly, or monthly, and we wash on that schedule and bill it on one invoice with every unit listed. Your office reconciles a single line item instead of a pile of separate wash tickets, and you can adjust the schedule any time your fleet size or workload changes. Most Kilgore accounts settle into a rhythm within the first month.
Will washing damage decals, wraps, or door seals?
No. We run controlled pressure with the right nozzles for vehicle work, kept clear of decals, vinyl wraps, and seals. Regular washing actually extends wrap and paint life because the grit comes off before it grinds in. Older trucks with worn seals get a gentler pass so water is not forced anywhere it should not go.
Does a clean fleet really matter for DOT?
It helps in two ways. Clean lights, mirrors, glass, and plates make roadside checks quicker and less likely to escalate, and a regularly washed truck shows rust, leaks, and damage early, while the fix is still cheap and before it becomes a violation. It also represents the company at every job site, which around a town the size of Kilgore is worth more than most ads.
Can you clean our shop apron and yard concrete too?
Yes, and it is worth doing on the same visit. The concrete where your trucks park and fuel collects the same diesel and hydraulic drips the trucks do, and a degreased apron makes the whole yard read professional when a customer, a landlord, or an auditor walks it. We add the shop front, fuel island, and wash-down areas to a fleet account for far less than a separate call-out would cost.
What size fleets do you take on in Kilgore?
Anything from a three-van trade company to a full oil-field service yard. We scale the crew and the route to your unit count, and we will tell you honestly how long the first wash will take if the fleet has been running dirty for a while. Call (318) 401-2772, tell us what is in the yard, and we will put together a schedule and price that fits.
