If you are going to buy something, why spend $60-130 when you can spend $15?

When my dog was with me I carried the above item so I could wash the doggo if she found something nasty to roll around in. Every Walmart, Home Depot, and Lowes sells these types of pump-up garden sprayers.
Bathing in the truck? Give me your ideas please.

Hook a shower head to the def tank and put a curtain behind the sleeper on the catwalk.

Maybe because warm water is better than cold?Rideandrepair Thanks this.

Kinda expensive, but works pretty well and it's great for weight/space limited situations like trucking.

A $12 electric kettle and a $15 garden sprayer come in under $30, but sure let's buy a $150 device.tarmadilo, Rideandrepair and D.Tibbitt Thank this.

All you need is a five gallon bucket and access to some hot water. Carry it back to your truck and pull the curtain. Soak your feet first and clean between your toes before doing anything else.

Thanks for the replies.
I may try the bucket/rag idea. Maybe try some body wash in there. Can't see me being out too much cash. Typically I bunk at a Pilot or Loves, as my company wants us to fuel there if at all possible.
I went three days this week. Never again. -
Shower in the early mornings, not the late afternoon and evening rush when 99% of other drivers are trying to get a shower. This strategy got me a shower with little or no wait for almost 30 years. Also, buy your fuel at one chain truck stop not every chain you can. This will likely give you enough fuel purchased in a month to reach the free daily shower/coffee limit and never have to worry about having a valid shower credit when you need a shower. It also multiplies your reward points that you can use for other things, like electronics, paid parking, etc. Don't spend your points on food, it's the lowest value item you can buy and I never saw a driver that really needed more junk food. At least twice in my career I was able to spend $600-800 worth of reward points on GPS, CB, cooler, and other gear for free.TurkeyCreekJackJohnson Thanks this.

On the hottest days, and when I was stinkiest, I would find a secluded location, get nekkid, and pour water on myself, lather up and rinse off. All was needed was a towel, soap and flip flops.
If someone ever caught me I would have told them I wasn't paying for their therapy.Woobie, tscottme, nextgentrucker and 1 other person Thank this.
