    Do you mean as a driver? Or in general? Does a salt/sea water shower count as a real shower?

    2 or 3 days as a driver.

    2 weeks...general. No choice there, sorry. But I was in good company. There were no less than 10 others who hadn't had a shower either.

    I think I went 5 days between showers on my first trip with my trainer in his truck. After that one time I don't think I ever went more than one day. When I was OTR I even made a way to shower in the truck so I would never have to be as filthy as on that first trip.

    There were times in my military days where I'd go 7-10 days and barely got in a five points scrubdown.

    I'd planned to take an australian shower along with me once/if I ever get a truck - rig it up is the space between the cab and trailer. It'd be just like back in the Army days.

    In our defense though, this is about the only country where this qualifies as conversation.
