    Sure no - one left any prawn heads, (shrimp) under a seat somewhere? Something may have fallen somewhere and no matter what lavender oil or pot purri you use the stink will stay there till you remove the offending object. If other staff as saying it smelt ok when they were in it, that could be the reason.

    i'll have to take another look. it seems like the cold masks the stink but once the truck warms up then it comes back quick!

    just a slight hint of ###, little bit of BO with a strong must. I don't think the guy showers regularly

    I bought some cheap , junk perfume at Walmart and dumped it in the air vents inside the truck, then soaked the seats with it.
    Another bad one was a woman driver. Again, got some cheap perfume and dumped in on her mattress; not the sheets, just the mattress.
    Yeah costs a few dollars, but well worth it. They never did figure out where the smell came from.

    This man is a GENIUS! Here we all are trying to figure out a way to get rid of the other driver's smell, and what we should have been doing is trying to get rid of the driver himself. Spray this stuff all inside the cab and your slip seat partner will be asking Management to get himself away from you.
