Managing A Mobile Pressure Washing Business

Most people consider service businesses to be the very easiest to manage, but this is not always true, for instance take the mobile pressure washing industry sector. It might seem easy to manage, but it's not. You have various high pressure power washing rigs all over the city with different crews doing different kinds of jobs.

It's extremely hard to manage people that you cannot see and know if they are on time, or ahead of schedule so that you can either slip in a new job or reschedule a job that cannot be completed on time, and perhaps bring in another rig to fill the gap, without throwing the entire schedule into chaos.

Another issue comes with the managing of employees and workers; a worker that comes to work tired will complete the work a lot slower, than a worker that comes to work fully charged and ready to go. A tired crew perhaps on a Saturday morning will not be a able to keep up with the pace of work or stay on schedule and yet, certain types of pressure washing can only be done during certain times of the week.

For instance the cleaning of fleets of vehicles can only be done when the vehicles are parked and they are only parked on the weekends. The cleaning of concrete has to be done before the major crowds get show up for shopping and therefore can only be done in the middle of the night, thus, all the cleaning and scheduling is in a constant state of flux.

Throw in a little weather, peak traffic times, and breakdowns and you have basically a management nightmare. It's completely controlled chaos and it takes a manager that can handle it. Please consider all this.
