Doing Laundry

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.

 

Plan on using the drier. If I had a codriver who expected to hang laundry in the truck, he or she would probably end up "hanging." Truckstop washers run about $2.00 to $2.50 a load, and aren't always in the best condition. Have you given any thought to what you might wear this winter? Shorts and a tee aren't very conducive to avoiding frost bite in colder climes.

 

They run mostly, approximately $2.00 at the Pilot/Flying J's, maybe more by now. Not all Pilot's have laundry so check the Pilot/FJ magazine locations listing.

Dryers tend to be the same money wise, but often... you need to feed additional coins to really get them dry especially jeans. Check the washers and dryers before you use them to see what they look like, what's in them, that they are working, etc... before you use them.

Good Luck

 

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-

 

As per the flip flop sub, you can wear crocs or something similar if you want to air out your feet and not make the whole sleeper stink with foot odor. LOL

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?
