    Refuse to accept a truck that has had a smoker in it. I will not drive a truck that I can smell any offensive odor in.

    I have explained it to several companies I have not had a problem yet. This is a health hazard, second hand smoke is not a debate, it is a health hazard.

    By the way there suppose to change the mattress between drivers, legally it is also a health issue.

    I have used a product call Zep,Smoke eliminator....It works really well.

    Wipe down everything possible in the truck with some spray cleaner then spray everything with Zep....Works great!

    I think Home Depot or Lowes was where i bought the last can.

    I bought an old car one time that was owned by a chain smoker...it was terrible! A little upholstery cleaner and bombed it with Zep and the smell was gone.

    Thats hard to do when 90% of the drivers are heavy smokers.

    The company doesn't care if you don't like it, there are plenty of newbes dying to get in there.

    Where do you get the idea that 90% are heavy smokers?

    I must have missed that statistic on the "truth" website or commercial.
