    How often do you get to take a shower on the road? I just loaded up on some Body Wipes aka "Shower on the Go" I think these will suffice when you not taking showers in less the optimial Truck Stops. I'm also gonna invest in a small bookbag with Clorox wipes gloves multiple surface cleaner other cleaning supplies and seat covers. I gotta cover all the bases.

    I never went more than two days without a shower. Just a little advance planning and it's easy to accommodate.
     
    Longarm and FLYMIKEXL Thank this.

    Take one everyday if you like. If you stop at TSs every night, wallah. Just remember flip flops or some type of shower shoe, you don't want your feet getting pregnant.

    Atleast every 2 days min. I do carry wet wipes but not alot, I get dirty doing flatbed but not enough that I consider using wipes as a shower. Just enough to get the dirt off, jump in the truck and head to a ts for shower. There's always time, before your shift or during your 30 min break

    Just because you don't shut down at a TS doesn't mean you can't stop enroute loaded or MT and grab a quick one. Just make sure you park it in a hole, not in the fuel island. We thank you in advance.

    I'm with you 100%. Completely different class of people in day cabs, generally. You come in looking like a slob, shirt untucked, unshaved, like you just rolled out of bed, etc. where I work you're gonna be working in the warehouse all day, not in front of customers.
     
    Bob Dobalina Thanks this.
