We have received many questions about Charlie's Old-Fashioned Truck Wash. We want to take this opportunity to respond to the ones most frequently asked.

I heard Charlie’s Old-Fashioned Truck Wash is owned by Blue Beacon. Is that right?
	Charlie’s is owned by the same people that founded and still own Blue Beacon. It is operated as a separate company though, and is designed to serve the customers who prefer to have their trucks hand washed and towel dried and who are willing to spend the little extra time and money required.
Will Charlie’s take longer than Blue Beacon?
	On one hand, it definitely takes longer to deliver a hand wash and towel dry. On the other hand, by no means will Charlie’s be “slow.” We anticipate it will take approximately 45 minutes to wash a tractor/trailer and towel dry the tractor. Charlie’s has four bays, to help serve you as quickly as possible.
Does Charlie’s use brightener?
	No, they don’t use any brightener. They use soap and water only.
Can I use my Blue Beacon charge account at Charlie's?
	Yes. Some customers use Charlie's as an additional Blue Beacon location and some prefer to have a separate Charlie's account.
How do I apply for a Charlie’s charge account?
	Please ask for a credit application at Charlie’s Old-Fashioned Truck Wash or contact the home office (785-826-8255) for more information.
