Showers on the road.

Limited to loves? what in the hell do you do when you're on either coast? I'm limited to Pilot, I thought that was bad.

 

Yeah, you see the towel heads in the bathroom doing this all the time.

 

I don't think I could do it in a restroom. Just in the back of my truck.

 

Sadly, there are way too many out there already. Yuck! Personal hygiene should be one the basic items you perform every day! No wonder there is such a bad reputation for truckers!

 

I may not be OTR, but BABY WIPES are the win for me. I use them to clean baby butts. I use them to clean baby faces. I use them to clean my face (among other places). I use them to wipe down the interiors of my vehicles. 4 or 5 baby wipes are enough to do the entire Suburban's interior, plus wipe off the door handles and backs of the mirrors. It's not so good for glass or mirror faces though. I'll leave that to Stoner's Invisible Glass and some newspaper.

I buy them in bulk on Amazon. I got somewhere in the neighborhood of 650 wipes SHIPPED for $21. Those fat refill packs aren't available at Wally World. They want $4 for a 60-pack. Huggies are the thickest and last longest. In particular, I use the Natural Care ones with Aloe (they are the cheapest and smell best).

 

they also have wipes that are used for elderly people and those who are disabled. i use those whn i cannot get a shower. they work really well. they are larger than wipes and cover more area. you dont get many in a pack though.

 

There are showers located at every truckstop every 30 miles on every Interstate, u.s highway,state route and back road, at least this is what some noobies think, I had 1 guy ask me where the showers were at a restarea. 3 to 4 times a week is good, if your at a truckstop every night for a shower, your more then likely going broke.

 

Not necessarily . When you get over 150 gallons of fuel reset the pump at 51 and 102 gallons . Go over 152 you get 3 shower credits .

 

lol must be from the same family heard that too lol hey I take a dishpan I bought at wallyworld for a few bucks......I have a plastic gallon waterbottle I can refill either inside by the coffee or out at the fuel island.....I can take some of that water and heat it up in the micro......I take a bath everyday in the truck when I can't get a shower.....baby wipes are ok but when ya got oily skin like me soap and water is what it takes......and it only cost your effort to get the water! People there is no excuse to be dirty!....I have even used a contain er as small as a plastic shoe box so don't let space be an excuse!

 

I also used to carry baby wipes with me. They work real well to get the daily sweat off and clean the pits. I took "bird baths" quite often on the road without leaving the truck. Being clean is very important out there. I just hated trying to wash my hair in a sink or in the truck. My hair is fairly long and thick so it's kind of a pain to wash unless I'm in a shower.
