Dumb Questions.....

I know this may seem like a dumb question but it is one that I am curious to know..... during the first month with Prime and the instructor, during the 4-6 months with the trainer, and how often as a solo company driver do you stop to shower? Is it every day? Every two days?

When I asked the recruiter what "two weeks of clothes" meant she told me 3-4 pairs of pants and 4-5 shirts. I do not know what truck life is like as I have zero experience as of yet but I know that when I have made trips across the country in my car after 2000 miles, I feel nasty and I know I stink.... that is just after 24 hours or so. The idea of wearing the same shirt for several days or the same pair of pants for several days..... lol I guess I am spoiled and I shower and change clothes every day.

So I am just curious, how often does a person actually shower and how much should a person pack for two weeks?

Next question, following the same idea..... how often is actually realistic for doing laundry?

Another question, what is the typical cost for a shower?

 

That is great information! So during my training period, does the trainer get the free shower during fuel stops and I pay the $10? LOL That could be expensive as a trainee, 30 x $10 = $300 per month to shower! Going a day without a shower wouldn't kill me unless it was an unusually hot day or something....

 

I do not know how big my "bunk" area is but I can sleep next to, on top of, or even under my duffle if I had to! LOL There was a time in my life when I didn't really have a "home" and I drifted between friends and family right out of high school and I learned to live out of an old army duffle. Of course, I always managed to shower every day and washed my clothes regularly.
