Buy a Fleet Clean Franchise

Fleet Clean is a mobile commercial fleet washing franchise providing on-site cleaning services for businesses operating commercial vehicle fleets. Founded in 2009 and franchising since 2013, the brand serves clients in trucking, logistics, food distribution, manufacturing, and transportation, delivering exterior washing, interior cab cleaning, trailer washouts, and pressure washing at the customer’s location.

The business operates on a recurring contract model, with clients committing to weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly service schedules. Fleet Clean is part of Kept Companies, a nationwide commercial and residential maintenance services group with more than five decades of operating experience, which also owns Fleetwash and several other service brands across the US.

Franchisees operate custom-built wash trucks equipped with Fleet Clean’s proprietary Wash Box system, incorporating water reclamation technology designed for effective cleaning of large commercial vehicles. The brand’s software platform covers lead management, quoting, scheduling, invoicing, service notifications, and customer communications, with the franchisor also handling collections on franchisees’ behalf.

Why buy a Fleet Clean Franchise?

When considering whether to buy a Fleet Clean franchise, the core appeal is the B2B contract model: fleet operators in logistics, food distribution, and manufacturing purchase cleaning on recurring schedules, making revenue predictable once accounts are established. The niche of mobile fleet washing means most markets carry limited direct competition, and regulatory cleanliness requirements for certain industries make the service a compliance necessity rather than a discretionary spend.

The franchise provides substantial operational infrastructure. Proprietary software handles the full administrative cycle from lead management and quoting through scheduling, invoicing, and collections, with billing managed by the franchisor. Each unit receives a dedicated SEO-optimized website and pay-per-click advertising support. The Kept Companies parent group adds commercial services experience and scale behind the franchise system.

Fleet Clean – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Fleet Clean provides new franchise owners with initial training covering operations, equipment use, and service delivery, followed by ongoing operational guidance from the corporate team. The brand's proprietary software handles lead management, quoting, scheduling, invoicing, service notifications, and customer communications; the franchisor also manages collections on franchisees' behalf. Marketing support includes dedicated, SEO-optimized location websites and pay-per-click advertising. Resale buyers should confirm with Fleet Clean what transfer training and system access are available to incoming owners.

  2. Ideal Owner

    Fleet Clean suits operators comfortable managing a mobile service crew and building B2B account relationships. Success depends on securing commercial accounts with fleet-owning businesses and managing recurring service schedules and crew performance. Prior experience in automotive or commercial services is helpful but not required. The role centers on account management, local business development, and field operations oversight rather than daily hands-on technical work.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    Fleet Clean has built recognition through its presence in the mobile commercial fleet washing market and its focus on eco-friendly operations and proprietary technology. Parent company Kept Companies brings additional credibility as a multi-decade commercial services operator with brands serving clients across the United States. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be considered alongside the specific unit's local reputation, client relationships, and contract history within its territory.

  4. Industry / Market

    The US trucking industry underpins demand for Fleet Clean's services. With an estimated 3.5 million commercial trucks on American roads, many operated under FDA and DOT cleanliness requirements, fleet washing is a compliance-driven spend for clients in food distribution, pharmaceuticals, and logistics. The B2B contract model, with customers on weekly or monthly schedules, makes revenue relatively resilient to economic cycles. For resale buyers, the industry mix within a specific territory, including the proportion of regulated-sector clients, is a key indicator of revenue stability.
