    Garbage bags work good and are cheap. Honestly though, you just get used to the smell. My truck smells like tar but the only time I ever notice it is when I climb in it on Monday after the weekend. I gave up bagging my clothes and just throw them in my side box under my bed

    We load and deliver in 9 western states and I will never turn a load down just because a driver won’t make it back home that night

    I was doing fuel on the last job I had carting Diesel out to the Coal mines in North Queensland so it was straight out to the mines and straight back, I'm just curious with hazmat over there when your hauling fuel are you restricted as to where you can park up? I'd be worried about parking a fully laden fuel tanker at a major truck stop.

    You should try storing your clothes dry in zip-bags and using single-use gloves when you might get dirty. In addition, change all your clothes the next day, even underwear not only the exposed clothes.

    Nah. Just take 'em off, turn 'em inside out, & put 'em back on. They're good for another week. :D
