    Just goes to show how great a job all the experienced drivers :biggrin_25514: are doing by answering our questions, that I am really starting to dig for questions which haven't been covered.

    Have pests (ants, roaches, spiders, etc...) ever been a problem in your cab/sleeper?

    Pest should'nt be a problem unless the previous driver was a pig. If so, get a can of RAID.

    uuggghhh.....gross, hell no, and I carry my dog with me and I NEVER had a problem, well, once I found a tick.

    Unless you count the pesky flies that sometimes get in.

    When my boyfriend got his filthy, disgusting truck, it was infested with ants. Once I cleaned it, the ants went away and they haven't been back.

    Usually when I get hometime, or just a day out of the truck it kills those flies. It gets so hot in there nothing survives! :biggrin_25521:

    I usually pick up one or two at shippers/receivers, especially the Tyson/IBP plants.

    ...eventually 'bombed' the truck with those aresol bug continuous spray cans, that did the trick. Ankles had open sores, itched, yellow infection...
