John Bailey began his street sweeping career in 1988, leaving the shoe-selling business for a client that paid him $200/month, which was just enough money to cover the loan payment on his single “Trailer Vac” mounted on his pickup truck. That Trailer Vac still runs today, after a few refurbishments, and Bailey now boasts a fleet of a dozen sweepers as well as his own LLC, Bailey’s Sweeper Service, operating out of Las Vegas, Nevada. Bailey credits an old window washer as his motivating factor to go from shoes to sweepers, so it is fitting that Bailey’s Sweeping Services has a window washing crew to go along with their parking lot sweeping service.
