Doing Laundry

It is best to have at least one pair of long pants and shirt.

Some factories require it when onsite, mostly hazmat locations. Also "closed toed" shoes are required on most docks.

Get some clothes you can put in the dryer. You don't want to wear "really" good clothes in trucking. There is a good chance they will get dirty and stained.

Hint... black matches the color of grease stains.

 

Hawaiian shirts match the buffet stains!

I always recommend purex laundry sheets.

They are not liquid so no spills, ever. It starts as a detergent, then a fabric softener, then goes right into the drier with the clothes as an anti-static sheet.

Since your only going to be out 14 days at a time. Why do you need to do any washing at all, just bring more clothes and wash when you get home. So you going to have time to do 3 clothes washes in that 14 days? When do you plan to sleep

 

I never do laundry on the road. I just start turning stuff inside out.

 

Will be getting into the industry shortly. Was wondering if anyone can tell me if the machines leaving your clothes smell like diesel or grease is an issue.

 

open the door and smell the inside of the washing machine AND the dryer before inserting your truck driving apparel.You should perform an excellent visual inspection too.That should eliminate any foreign smell.oh wait.the smell of diesel and grease aren't foreign in truck driving.my bad-
