Drivers don't look like drivers anymore

I wear my browns when I'm on the clock...

 

When driving always wore a loose fit jeans, usually wrangler 13wmz or similar. Boots depending on what I needed. Always preferred a walking heel cowboy style boot, like Justin's or ariat. Shirts of a button up or pearl snap collered variety, sometime I wore a basic pocket tee.

After 25 years of this I think it is no wonder john q public looks down on us. On any given day in any given t/s you can see and/or smell our so called drivers that look like they just stumbled out of the homeless shelter. Is it so hard to take a shower, if only every couple days and keep yer clothes clean?

 

There are some places you should not shower in.

I recall one in Ohio that featured bio hazard in form of blood from human, probably someone taking a drug hit. I can only imagine the exposure if he or she spilled any onto the deck etc.

Taking a shower is good, but takes so much time relative to where you need to be at after the end of the days driving. Taking away one or two hours to park, shower and get going again would be worth a 100 miles or more. Enough to make you late if you did not watch it. And cut into your weekly earning.

 

I don't believe I'm a prima donna (despite me need to bathe or get my nails done). I HAVE to shower to wake up. I'm not a coffee/soda/caffinated drinker. I consider a shower my cup of coffee in the morning; it gets me up and going after a full night of sleep but it sounds like sleeping patterns become erratic OTR.

 

What? No bacon?!

 

You stinky #####..take a shower
