    I’m probably going to a sleeper truck soon. I deliver gasoline/diesel. I’d love some tips on how to store my FR clothes and my boots so I don’t have to smell fuel while in bed. Also, just any tips in general regarding a sleeper are greatly appreciated.

    Heavy duty ziplock bags. But you yourself also might be stinky. So it never really goes away unless you shower before hitting the hay.

    as far as sleepers tend to mimmic your bedroom, so if your bedroom is clean your sleepers clean.

    Plastic bags. Just try not to let it get wet if you put the dirty stuff in a box outside the cab.

    Just think life on a submarine.

    As long as you bag and tag, and it's airtight, pile it up someplace. Just don't let it go too long or it will mildew.

    Outside storage container solves that problem if it doesn't have box put it on the catwalk. Definitely not in the sidebox

    This particular position is only in 1 state, delivering to 2 stores that are about 580 miles and 400 miles round trip from the loading racks.

    I thought the rig had to be super light? I see super singles on every axle on those trucks

    On a side note you just have to set up right, coming out of MI..OH and IN are super strict on gross at 80k no matter how many axles so I’m sure it just kind of depends where you are
