Bad driving habits

That I understand... even though I am in a car now, I do take the time to pass a truck and give them plenty of space. If I see they are in a tight spot and need to slide out I will back off to let them. It was just this driver had no concept of what he did. I could have cleaned his trailer lights if I had some windex. If in a car or truck situation awareness should be on the top of the driving list.

I'm getting a little tired hearing about showers as well. Not all of us are fat smelly slobs. I pull a box. I sit in the ac all day. Every other day or so is just fine.

 

I agree and shower every 3-4 days. No u can't smell me or my truck, never had anybody say it to me, even friends I've met on the road. I'm not paying for a shower, hardly stop at pilot or flying j to park at night BC some reason that's everybody's favorite to fill up first. And I have stopped in a shift when time permits to shower. I'm not a sleezebag either, I don't get dirty nor do I sweat. If I have a free shower then ill use it when I do park at said locations. Sometimes I park at customers, rest areas, or no name truck stops. And if I'm still not to the hygiene standards of ttr oh well. I travel through Gary and Chicago all the time. Sometimes I hang back and other times I do 5 MPH over. I follow the flow of traffic to a certain extent. I hate tailgating, to paranoid or hitting anyone and its rude. I hate when people do it to me in a car much less a truck. And I do have elogs and a slow ### governed truck yay why that matters Idk

 

Preach, driver! Preach. These drivers get more humorous with each post. He obviously cannot stop to practice proper hygiene, because his truck is too slow. A lot of the slower trucks (not trying offend any newbies; e-loggers; and drivers that are un-naturally fond of their companies, in more ways than one), will intentionally and un-necessarily pull in front of a much faster truck, that is about to overtake them. What is the deal with that?

 

Come on driver! How can you run the road, and not have $10-$15 to pay for a shower? I have no problem paying for a shower, nor should you.

 

Then I predict your career will be short-lived, as e-logs are on the way as a mandate (just my prediction, based upon the whims of our illustrious government over its long history).

 

Maybe so. I will not be trucking at that point. So it really makes no difference.
