    Man that's great you got a new ride because you kept (what sounds like) your nose and everything else clean :rolleyes:!

    In day cabs we all "slip seat" and it sure is nice to have a "truck partner" that shares the same sense of clean as you. I run line haul and my day time guy does a good job keeping the truck clean, I take care of fuel and such, and try not to mess up what he calls "his ride" (even though its assigned to me o_O)

    I'm in a very similar situation, I drive the truck during the day making deliveries and at night time its used to run the transit runs. My night guy though gets dispatched to dirty mud lots and stuff so I'm constantly cleaning wheels at the end of my day.

    My old truck, I got in it to move it the other day and mind you when I parked it for the last time, it was clean on the inside not beautiful, but clean and nice great condition really for an older beater truck. Well I got in it yesterday to move it and *sigh* dirty tobacco spit all over the dog house dust and dirt everywhere a garbage bag around the shiftier full of garbage. Oh well not my problem.

    I didn't think that would take long. It makes you wonder how some people live.
