Hygiene practice's

I'm on my second load as a solo driver and don't have many points saved up on any of my rewards cards. Do I have to pay out of pocket for a shower? Sounds like a stupid or trollish question but I'm serious. My trainer always used his points for showers and since I don't have enough and don't know how long it is until I will, do I go ahead and pay for my own? They're kind of expensive aren't they? $8.00 or something? That can add up and get costly.

 

Vegan , if you're serious, and I assume that you are, you get a shower credit when you fuel. Generally a 50gal purchase equals a free shower. Most truckstops give you free showers for everyday , fueling or not , after you've purchased X amount of gal in a given month.

Just read your fuel receipt for the particulars, and sign up for the rewards cards at the truckstops that you frequent because those points eventually add up if you leave them alone and you can buy yourself some nice electronics without having to go "into your pocket".

 

Thanks a lot! Wasn't sure how that worked and I'm on day three with no shower. Not good. Just got to pilot and am about to take a shower. With a bunch of flies as company! Nice.

 

The flies are probably drawn to the vegan diet... or its gaseous side effects.
Have a hot dog.

 

A real beef hot dog. Not those chicken and filler ones.

 

Not so much a personal hygiene issue, but I'm something of a germaphobe and it's getting worse the older I get. Having to drive a different tractor every night not knowing who has been in it before me can get a little stressful. I go through a lot of Lysol wipes.

 

Wow, you make me think of a man who use to drive for the same company as I. He never took a shower, he was always dirty, always stunk, and he looked fifthly, always, the truck he drove was a stinker, it was fifthly, inside and out.

We had hardly any drivers who would enter that truck.

He spent much of his time at a truck stop that had those old timey pin ball machines. They finally fired him, for he would spend the money they gave him to buy fuel and such on the pin ball machines a dime at a time them when he run out of money he would call in telling them he was out of money needing some money to buy fuel. And he never carried a suit case full of clothes, when he left out it was just him and his dirty clothes.

I did get in that truck one time, but I nearly fell out of that cab-over Freightliner trying to leave the stink in such a big hurry and went to the boss saying, "NO, No, I will not drive that truck even across the lot, its to stinky!

He was the most stinking person I was ever around! I just cannot understand such a person.

 

That SNASTY!

 

i just cant imagine what joseph would look like without all the primping and i met him at midnite
