Can somebody help a girl out?

Funny my husband has never complained about me pampering or shopping. He likes that im happy, doing this!

 

You ladies might consider starting a thread about how truckers can improve their attitudes through shopping, grooming, and relaxing and how it fosters success. I know it sounds a little toung-n-cheek, but I recall a relative that traveled a lot telling me why he always stayed in first class hotels. He said it made him feel like a million bucks which in turn improved his self esteem and his sales!

From some of the threads on TTR I have gotten the impression that there are more than a few truckers who have negatively impacted the profession because of either their personal apperance or their customer service skills. Perhaps with your suggestions they could find time for themselves and improve their persona & outlook on life.

Personally I always get a kick out of how a pair of jeans with a crease ironed into them make me think that person is neat and organized.. Silly probably but that's my perception.

 

I think there are plenty of lady trainers out there. My wife and I drove for Central(which I am sure everyone is tired of reading by now) and there were at least a handful of lady trainers there. However some women preferred going with the men because I guess there were some catty situations! I would really recommend talking to drivers during your orientation and trying to find someone you click with. There are a lot of trainers that will be coming and going while you are at a terminal learning the ropes.

On a side note: If you ladies are going to carry a lot of war paint and fufu sprays make sure you keep them in ziplock baggies. When you drive over the mountains out west they tend to explode! My truck smelled like a french ##### after the Cannes Film Festival! So after buying all new fufu and paint I had her put it all in baggies.

As far as your poop bucket goes, it fits very nicely inside the spare tire on the back of the catwalk so you do not have to keep inside the truck. Just make sure you line it with a trash bag.(one per use!) If you use to little 2x4 boards about a foot long for a seat you won't have to squat and burn up your leg muscles! This will allow you time to read the paper!

 

Excellent observations.

 

agreed 100%

 

What a coincidence I'm watching Josey Wales right now. Clint is bad!
