    But would you run that truck for 5k, run no AC, wearing only boxers? If that offer isn’t on the table I wouldn’t take it man

    Would you be able to tell the difference in the truckstop afterward?

    Seriously now, handling untreated human waste is playing Russian roulette with your health. That whole truck is toxic. it's way beyond the point where a driver should be tasked with cleaning it up. If the driver goes ahead and cleans it he better expect to be assigned to every job just like it from then on.

    Stick where the sun don’t shine if you don’t want to professionally clean it would be my reply .. thankfully I never had bosses like that in my career.

    How far do you need to drive it? I may get a set of throw away cover alls and gloves for the right price, but I am not going far or doing a load with it, I would go walking home before I slept In that thing

    My right price would be 20K. And a company provided hazmat suit with self contained air.

    Yeah, if it has human feces in it they need to call a company like ServiceMaster or Servepro to clean and disinfect it. Definitely a biohazard.

    I wonder what some of those surfaces taste like. Hmm.

    Oh sorry. I said the quiet part out loud again.

    That’s literally a toxic waste dump. Don’t put up with that. Ever!

    A few years ago I had to rescue a trailer in Detroit for Ozark. Only issue was it was still connected to tractor. Told them I will only do it during the day (wasn’t sure of the area). The key was supposedly in it. Key wasn’t there. Tractor was damaged from a yellow deer. Open cups of urine. Urine dumped all over the cab.

    I had a key that worked. I wouldn’t get in. Stood on step to move tractor (automatic) and used fuel gloves the entire time.

    Relayed the conditions and emailed pics. MF’d the guy to my dispatcher. Found out it was a female driver.
