    I don't think I've ever encountered bed bugs in a Schneider truck but I did catch a nasty rash on the back of my legs last year in the trainers truck.

    Oh yea and there was this gem. My truck broke down in Arkansas so they gave me a loaner for a week to finish my run. Texas in July driving what smelled like a porta potty on wheels and most likely was. Yummy

    Ha it'd be slightly less unsettling if that came out of me. Slightly. IIRC, I used 3 or 4 industrial garbage bags, 2 towels and about a roll of duct tape for a seat cover. All when I should have just said "screw you guys, I'm going home."

    I got them at truck driving school. As soon as school saw the bites they ordered us all out of that hotel and put everyone up at a nice hotel. Only had about 4 changes of clothes (free laundry and all) so the head of the school took me shopping and put 4 replacement sets on his personal credit card. I may not have gotten along with several instructors, but the school itself did right by me.

    If the other seat was good, as in unused, or at least unsoiled, it's 4 small screws on each cushion to remove, switch the cushions, and reattach. Took me about half an hour to switch the worn out for the unused one in my truck.

    Don't like the stock seats, but making do.

    This is why on the road i pay for almost everything with a good credit card. Dont want to refund something you should? No problem with one phone call the charges are canceled.
