    This can't be a serious question.

    Being 75 feet long drastically limits bathroom access.

    and these if you have to go back in the sleeper to grab something. otherwise take your shoes/boots off before you go back there.

    those mats dont keep crap rolling around and onto them, they only help with keeping conditions cleaner when dealing with nature like dirt, mud etc, not pee bottles and McDonalds cups.

    But they really do a very good job, for what they were designed for. I've got a bud who has them in his 4X4. It is much easier to keep clean than mine is. We do get into a bit of mud now and then, going up to ham repeater sites.:biggrin_25523:

    Of course, if we could just go back to the old rubber floor coverings they used to have, none of this would be needed. . .:biggrin_2554:

    That is ridiculous. There is absolutely NO reason why any truck cab should ever look like that. That picture needs to be posted on the wall in the driver's room of the terminal as an example of what NOT to do.

    Granted, you may not be able to eat off the floor in my truck. But the trash gets tossed at the end of every day. That is the least one can do.

    I have a small trash can I keep in front of my passenger seat and I practice my basketball skills throughout the day if driving, if something happens to miss then it gets picked up right away when im stopped.
    I have a couple drivers who always want to use my truck when its my days off since they said its always cleaner than most on the fleet plus the fact I have satellite radio, cb and all the other goodies. I am on a slip seat fleet but since I am one of the couple sleepers who live in my truck several days I do not have to share it but I allow a couple to use it since they respect and clean up after themselves too.
    I didnt realize the truth about my truck being cleaner until a couple months ago I helped out by taking a couple other trucks to the shop and wished I would of had my Lysol wipes etc when I got into them. I just cant comprehend how dirty a driver can be, I hope they keep a cleaner house, I look at my truck as my second home.

    I normally hook a plastic bag on the seat belt latch on the drivers seat so that if I do have trash I can put it in the bag with out being too distracted. At the end of the day take the bag out, tie the end off, and throw it away. No more problem. I spent 1 month in a truck without going home, Volvo 670. About week 3 into it I spent 6 hours scrubbing the interior of that truck. I was driver number 1 and 3 in that truck during that time.

    You should've loosened a few bottle caps before you got out .. I'm pretty sure he would toss his bottles sooner after that mess

    Lot of people trying to sell USED TRUCKS should learn that a clean truck has better buyers response than some out there.
    My oldest Grandson is looking to buy his own tractor and some of the MOBILE PIG PENS he has looked at is just wicked. He said to me now " I KNOW WHY YOU ALWAYS MAKE THEM KEEP YOUR TRUCKS CLEAN ".

    I can't imagine trying to sell at vehicle, (of ANY kind,) without detailing it first! That is just plain dumb!
