    1. You don't do doodle where you eat or sleep!

    2. Floss if you can't brush, it's healthier, but, there is nothing wrong with brushing twice a day using a bottle of water and brush. You can rinse your mouth with water after eating and or eat an apple.

    3. Take baby wipes with you to fresh up the BO and use hygiene common sense you use at home.

    There is no excuse for lack of hygiene on the road. If your a slob you will be a slob on the road if not, you will figure it out...


    Good Luck!

    Every morning, I get up, start coffee pot brewing, brush teeth using water cup, rinse, pour out water, rinse cup, wipe out cup, electric shaver, body wipes, deodorant, fresh underclothes, wet down hair, comb, go inside t stop use restroom, daily log, graham crackers, dry cereal, drive.

    Not joking, it takes less than an hour on good days, no more than 1 hr and 15 minutes. Only on the rare occasion, load from hell scenario do I not get up that hour early and take care of all this.

    But when I was a newb, I let myself get pretty grimy and unkempt.

    Good advice! On your #1 I wish a driver didn't take that advice. About a week ago I was at a hotel and was sitting on the balcony enjoying the spring day. There where 2 trucks waiting to unload across the street. A driver walked around his truck and the next thing his pants are around his feet and putting his BA in the weeds. I about barfed as I closed the curtains.

    Makes you wonder if they allowed restroom use to the driver or not.

    Made me wonder also and didn't call the cops or the store. But you know how the public can be, cams every where, and thats why I always had something ready in the truck for such an emergency. If no one can see, no one knows. Fishing, hunting, and boating people have to take the same pre-cautions as well.

    Funniest thing I ever seen is when I let my dog out in that TA in New Hampshire after dark. She run to the back of the truck and started barking. I went to see what it was and there was about a 60 year old man butt naked from head to toe taking a bath with a gallon water jug behind his truck. :biggrin_25523:

    He just kept bathing and I took the dog the other direction. No scrupples!
