This! Another quicker, simpler way I've done it is a washrag and a spray bottle with half water half rubbing alcohol. Gives you that cool dry feeling everywhere, lol. Ever since Covid I've kept a spray bottle of alcohol/water right by my driver's seat.
I use it every time I get in the truck, every time I've touched door handles or been at a shipper, truck stop or wherever to disinfect my hands when I can't wash them proper and always after I eat.Rideandrepair, The_vett, OldeSkool and 3 others Thank this. -
Its better than any other form of trucking.. less bs mostly and i enjoy the challenge of it. Unloading at jobsites tends to be a more wholesome experience than sitting backed into a dock for hours upon hoursRideandrepair, Gearjammin' Penguin, Bell_Diver and 13 others Thank this.

Cool, well, one of the reason I left Flatbed is because of that, dirty and nasty lol, I'm someone who sweats for the littlest effort I put in so you could imagine seeing me after doing a load. The other reason was because it’s too challenging for me, I'm scrawny as hell so I didn't want my arm to snap off like a twig and that's with Cypress, the easiest Flatbed company out of all of them LMFAO!!!Rideandrepair, The_vett, blairandgretchen and 2 others Thank this.

I’ve found paper towels and rubbing alcohol do a surprisingly good job for me when I can’t get to a truck stop shower. It’s particularly effective in the smelly areas, kills the bacteria that causes funk.
