White Sheets on Bunk Required WTF?

Until you wash them

 

Obviously not; white sheets signal the U.S. Marshalls, blue sheets signal the FBI (or is that pink?), and so on...

 

Red sheets signal McCarthyists?

 

The white sheets turn different colors due to the noxious gasses coming out of your body because you ate at the truck stop diner.

 

There is an old kernel of truth to it and it probably originated in the CT area as they do more scale inspections than anyone it seems. The northeast local drivers were using sleeper trucks, logging sleeper berth and carrying spare parts and junk in their sleepers like storage so it made it easier for the legal (appearing ?) ones to keep a neat bunk and use white sheets so the inspector could glance in and see the sleeper was usable. We all know that you can be written a ticket at just about any time at the discretion of the inspector so it wouldn't be hard to imagine the DOT telling the drivers to make that bunk usable or I'll write you a ticket the next time I see you. Doing the old exercise of passing a message from person to person it is easy to see where somewhere along the line a driver shortened it to "Put white sheets on the bunk or you will get a ticket."

 

Its all major BS, use any color sheet you like... And as far as using a white lien sheet on a active wound you will introduce more bacteria into the wound, stop the bleeding but
not with #### stained sheets... Absolutely FALSE....

 

Minn, used the unmade bed as a reason to ticket a driver for being too tired to drive.

 

Yeah you certainly wouldn’t want to give blood disease do a dead guy

 

By the way what what makes anybody think that a white sheets is more sterile . It’s been laying in a dirty old bunk it is sterile matter what color it is
