    Who slip-seated into a Schneider truck infested with bedbugs yesterday? Me... By my calculations I'll be about 50min over on my 11 before I make it back to the Dallas terminal, but I would rather be fired than be feasted on by parasites.

    Wow...let them tow it. Screw that. Bedbugs are one of the hardest things to get rid of.

    I hope you tossed out just about everything you had in that truck. If those got in your bags or anything plan on having bedbugs at home.

    Clothing I'll keep and wash as soon as I get home, all the bedding will be trashed at the terminal, including the brand new "cooling" pillow I bought on Sunday. :-/

    I'd wash them before getting home but that's me. How often do you have a different truck?

    Good idea. So somebody else can get bedbugs.

    Throw your clothing straight into the dryer on high heat. Heat is just about the only thing that will kill them.

    Put all your stuff in a trash bag, walk over to your DBLs desk with an itemized inventory and cost estimate to replace and give them the option to authorize a TCH or it gets dumped in the office
