    I recall never actually getting that clean after a bootcamp "shower". I also never had to park a truck before I took a shower in boot camp.

    True, takes about an hour total... But I have to stop for 30 of it anyway, and there USUALLY isn't much of a line in the afternoon...

    I'm running team dedicated. Before my shift I decide what I'm going to do on my 30 minute break: Walmart, shower, nap, etc. If I want to grab a shower I prepare my shower kit and change of clothes in a bag and put it in the passenger's seat. I regularly take showers on a 30 minute break, frequently with time to spare. I'm the vampire on the team, so usually the only parking available will be next to the scale or entrance but I do take a fuel island IF there are PLENTY of open fuel bays. Middle of the night there's wide open showers, my kit is organized to get ready to shower quickly, and I can get showered and shaved within 10 minutes. Add five minutes each side for prep and cleanup and another five minutes each side for getting to and from the truck and that's 30 minutes.

    It is possible but I usually have the luxury of getting a shower every other day with plenty of time to do so. For me showers are more than just a time to get clean but also a time to relax and I don't like to rush through my shower time. Now if it is day 3 of no shower then I will fit a shower in no matter what time frame I'm looking at but I prefer to have my relaxation time.

    I'll "camp out" in the shower on a 34. Running team long haul means you want those wheels turning, so getting the 30 minute door to door shower becomes a skill set that's valuable.

    Doesn't Swift have a "you must shower everyday" policy?

    One and the same. Due to an off thread started by a troll the thread is finished.
