    That's a bit steep ain't it?

    I shower as much as I possibly can. When your a flatbed driver you really need them, especially in the summer months.

    We are considered PROFESSIONALS in our field. How can a person present themselves as a professional when you smell them before you see them? I shower every night when I'm home. If I didn't my wife would run me out of the house. I treat myself no different on the road. Grant it there have been times that I just couldn't get to a shower. Theres a package of baby wipes in my sleeper for those situations. It's not a shower but I can promise you I smell alot better than I do before I use the wipes. I've also been known to wash my hair and face in a gas station bathroom sink. I just cannot go to sleep if I don't at least feel clean. How some of these guys do it is beyond me.

    It would be an adventure. Lol. I keep a high and tight military style haircut so its pretty easy for me. Heck a bottle of shampoo lasts me months.

    From what I have seen, a bottle of shampoo last other people several years...

    However, it is for other reasons:biggrin_25523:

    What's shampoo? I shave my head bald (almost bald anyway, figured might as well go all the way). Saves time in the shower. LOL.

    They should not give brand new trucks to people like that. It is a shame he does not appreciate it more. I am a non-smoker but even if I did smoke I would do it outside the truck so I would not permanently stink it up. I feel bad for you having to breath his smoke. Nasty, just plain nasty.
