Driving barefoot.

The remedy to this was indicated as the footwear worn outside is taken off before entering the cabin. Inside, an alternative footwear is used or none.

 

But seriously I am not that sensitive. I can go without a shower or brushing my teeth for a week or two, if needed.
Think about soldiers rotting in trenches on the Wester Front during WWI.
I can't prove it scientifically but I assert that masculinity should embrace filth along other adversities. Therefore, trucking is a masculine occupation. Females driving trucks solo are doing it thanks to developments in technology and their successful emancipation.
This is what I think and I will not change my mind.

 

Undeleted because another member managed to be fast enough and commented on it.

Deleted message:
Therefore, all of you stirile people needing to wipe your arses with wet tissues every time you poop or taking showers twice a day, brushing teeth after each meal, throwing cologne on you after each time you shave.
Disgusted by using TA / Petro provided towels or using the same pee jar for more than a few times...I don't nessecarly disapprove of you but do feel for you. It must be tough. Very tough for you to servive out here.

 

As you could notice, I decided to delete of what I had said as I did not want to change otherwise light theme into something controversial and perhaps inflammatory. Perhaps, I did not exactly agree with what I said either. Therefore, I deleted it....

You left me no choice but to undelete it now.

Now I have to stay behind what I said.

I am not saying everyone must embrace their filth but rather should be able to or have the capacity of doing it.
I naturally prefer neatness and cleanliness from filth but the latter will not destroy my psyche in times of crises where there is no running water and soap available.

 

I use baby wipes too and keep myself and truck interior very clean and well sanitized. I wear pajamas when going to sleep and during winter times I put on a shlaffmatze on my head. These days I use hand sanitizer 100 times a day.
However, driving barefoot on a hot day feels good. Being afraid of contaminating your body by touching pedals is ludicrous. You pose more risk of contaminating yourself by patting your own dog that is all to happy to wallow and swallow a bird's #### or lick others dogs as.
