well i don't have to worry about it but pilots/j's are going to be expensive to wash/dry and WHY use extra money to air fluff over and over when you use one (1) drying cycle and be done? regarding no smoking,i agree 1000%.what if your driving partner is a woman and she smokes? when younger we had a saying regarding gals that smoke and if you are going to be cooped up that long,one or the other of you might just get lucky-
just saying there bruce. you just felt like posting something didn't you? i did too.

I've never teamed ,never will,and even spending a week at a time otr and infrequently w/my girlfriend produces a claustrophobic and uneuphoric feeling. close confines will test even the best-

regardless,here's hoping that your long hauling career is a splendid one.I do not miss being out that long but then i am an old man by some standards.

Of course if it was a woman she would look like my 80 year old Grandma. Aside from all this joking I just don't do that type of thing! Been happily married too long!

illegal in some jurisdictions? to what? to drive team w/the opposite sex? I wouldn't consider running team if my team partner was not female.I am biased like that but then i am unable to envision ever running team so it all is a moot point.

just don't wear flip flops w/those shorts and tshirts as you get DOT'd.Had one officer tell me that she appreciated that i was wearing closed end shoes as i drive.asked her why and she said it was the law and it would be a written infraction had i exited the cab wearing them.Imagine that. I assumed that she had just written up a flipflop wearing trucker.shorts and tshirts are apparently fine to wear and i wear them.i reserve my flipflop wearing for the t/s showers.

just an fyi mr.future longhauler.best of luck-

Bruce, it's ok that you don't "like being close to a smoker". Is it ok that they don't like being close to you?
