About
Where Spiff Services Began
Spiff Services has its roots in a bucket of cleaning supplies, a solid determination, and a team effort. In 1979, Michael and Jeannie Carnes launched their truck cleaning business, serving Cincinnati-area dealerships like Peterbilt, Mack, Key GMC, and Ford Trucks. A pivotal moment came when they were tasked to detail two trucks at the Mid-America Trucking Show — that show became the birthplace of what Spiff Services would grow into. Word spread quickly, and before long other OEMs were requesting their services, which soon grew into so much more.
What made Spiff different wasn't just the quality of the work — it was the character of the people doing it. Michael and Jeannie Carnes built this company on honest effort, attention to detail, and a genuine commitment to the people and businesses they served. That combination of hard work and personal care is what transformed a small cleaning operation into the premier detailing and transportation service that it is.
For over 40 years, this company has served the biggest names in trucking, including Peterbilt, Freightliner, Kenworth, Mack, and more. Spiff Services remains proud of its heritage, and that "Spiffy" edge will always be its greatest strength.
