    Lot of us do that already... Gets really difficult when you're standing nearby the guy who is proudly displaying to your eyes, nose and ears what he's been eating for the last week

    Lost count of the number of times somebody left no stench, sight or sound to the imagination.

    Can only ignore so much. You know?

    I guess I should of been more clear.
    There is a definite shortage of good drivers. If you want to call those steering wheel holders straight outta school (if you can call that school) drivers then we are in a down hill spiral my friends.
    And if you can call making good money at anyone of those Maga fleets you must be used to your paper route when you were still a kid.
    Sadly if you figured out your pay by the hour you'd be better off at mcdonalds

    More than likely I would pass him up. Its not hard to stay clean and I have a hard time believing someone who can't be bothered to keep themselves decently clean would treat a truck any better. I've climbed into some daycab trucks and filled 2 garbage cans worth of garbage off the floors and from behind the seats. Its disgusting.
