    Thats so true.. I never stayed out long enough to need to do laundry when I first started. 6 - 10 days out was considered a very long haul. Company paid us $25 a day perdiem on top of our regular pay when we went out like that.

    My post was a joke. Been in my truck for 5 solid years. Last month a guy dragged his trailer across my hood so I had to get some stuff out to put in the rental truck. Wow, couldn't believe how much crap I had in my truck. I have cabinets full of clothes I forgot about, will be washing them and stuffing them into the clothes donation box. 4 spare mudflaps lol, OK will keep those. Steam cleaner, think I will take that back to the garage. Basically will have to do some major spring cleaning when I get it back. Bunk A/C is not working so will have to anyway, they have to access the under bunk to fix it.

    So now we have proof that a Swift driver can't even back his stuff OUT of a truck?

    I thought one of two different events were happening in that video:

    A. The person was a trainee, and the trainer told him to go clean his stuff out of the truck, pronto; or,

    B. The person was a driver and had finally had enough, so he abandoned the truck and, at the end, he gave up on trying to save his personal belongings.

    But, that's just my take on what happened... Both could be either plausible or wrong...

    I was thinking along these lines as well.

    Along with has this cheesebrain never seen a picture of a hobo??!? Since he already tossed everything on that nasty lot, just open up a sheet or comforter, toss it all in the middle, and cinch/roll it all up in one tidy bundle.
    Stick for carrying over the shoulder optional.
     
    RMU91 Thanks this.
