How many days is acceptable to go without a shower?

Which body wipes products are y'all using? Just looking to hear what you use now, what sucks, and what could be better. Any other products you recommend?

 

I use Walmart’s brand of flushable wipes. Can get 5 packs for less than $10. Dude Wipes are a popular brand but I don’t like paying a premium for the name but getting less product.

as for showering, everyday if I can, every other day is the rule. Two days max. Three days when things ain’t going right (can’t get to a truckstop/can’t wait for a shower, no credits and don’t want to pay, etc). Four days was my longest; that week was brutal. I always use wet wipes regardless of days between showers. I’ll sacrifice some sleep for a shower nowadays. And my schedule puts me in the truckstops early enough that there’s usually no problem getting one

Sounds like you are the guy that sits and waits for a big buy at the store that needs to be delivered to a home or job site. The SNI truck or TMC at many stores in areas down here. Those guys are local. Live close by and just sit at home on call. Truck sits parked in Homer’s lot.
I guess if you don’t have a home and you are at really busy location that is running the truck all day you could just get a little Winnebago with a shower and kitchen to live in parked next to the truck.

 

Sounds like price and size/value are big factors. If there was a wipe that was way bigger than the flushable ones (like 10"x12"), unscented or lightly scented, and packed in resealable travel packs, do you think that would be worth paying a bit more for?

Especially if it was sold at truck stops or came with a rewards app to get free showers or gear?

Totally not trying to pitch anything — just working on something for drivers and want to make sure it’s actually useful.

 

Something useful. A real shower is useful. No need to try and replace it. Cause there is no real replacement for it.

 

A Towel-sized wipe? Might be worth a premium to someone, but that’d probably be too inconvenient for me. Better idea might be to make them xtra-xtra large, like 12x16 inches - something big and usable for a body wipe but not so big to be unwieldy or wasteful. I think they already make something like that for healthcare/nurse applications

 

Flatbed, you are required to do a load check within fifty miles of pickup. I assume you pick up first thing in the morning and then scale. Why not combine the scale stop with a load check and then go off duty for half an hour to shower?
