    30 years third generation here. Never drew a paycheck as an adult that wasn’t from a trucking company or private fleet. I did have an 18, soon to be 20 year old out here so you’re kinda preaching to the choir. I’d knock him in the head if he ever THOUGHT of doing something like this. Also when I posted the other thread of the gentlemen washing their brown skinned feet at the wash bucket I got accused of racism. Part of posting this Caucasian gentleman my son captured I was just proving I’m an equal opportunity cranky SOB ticked at the state of the industry in general regardless of race or nationality. I get the devils advocate point of view

    Looks as if the interior will match the care given to the exterior judging by the photo.

    To quote a comedian -

    “It’s not a stereotype if it’s true”

    I try to steer my mind clear of the stereotypes in trucking, but often it is the fact, not the exception. That’s a difficult daily battle for me.

    In my defense, I was aware of the religious difference in your previous post - and didn’t call you a racist/bigot - nor condoned the activity -

    I have to admit I’m hopeful for the industry, yet disgusted every day at what I see.

    Thanks for your 30 years at doing so. If I had a 20 year old kid entering the industry, I’d be a nervous wreck.

    I guess he figured if the blue stuff in the water can get bugs off the windshield, then it can get the inside nice and clean too.....he saved 15 percent by not having to buy Armor All.

    Those buckets are gross. The ones at the gas islands are just as bad. Rotten fish water.
