    Yep. Some people have no issues with cotton and others have a hell of a time. Strange.

    I ain't never had that problem. You keep clean, a change of clothes every day laundry once or twice a week. A set of beach towels if you have to chain and tarp a flatbed in a storm. A shower where you can (Sandals specifically to defend against god knows what is still on the tile from the lout before you.)

    I have gotten sick on the road it's either local water gone bad, bad food with flies as happened near Mexico or perhaps a fever run a few days to burn in the sleeper or better a hotel to decide if you need to hit the ER and incur thousands of dollars in billing.

    Several times a month I get a roll of shop towels, disinfectant lysol and a hat ful of other cleaners and attack that cab. It's going to be CLEAN leaving you with a trashbag full of brown colored towels to dispose of.

    Never. Ever. do urine in the bottle inside the rig. You cannot imagine the problems that will attack you and everyone else forced to deal with that filth. Walk your lazy ### to the bathroom even if it's a mile away in waist deep snow.

    Or you could get one of those plastic red gas cans and bungy it to the cat walk and take a leak in that. No need to worry about odors in the cab and nobody will know it's piss. Just a quick idea off the top.

    If someone wants to steal it then instant karma lol

    Or ... lot leezards? The male kind? Ugh.

    You do know that 95, 85 and 75 are a cluster of STD's that can literally rot you from inside out. You wont be trucking long if you caught a case.

    Believe you me when I tell you there will be wimmen coming round for a bit of dinner, money and company when you least expect it. Men too. UGH. Last time a female asked me next to my rig with the window open and wife in sleeper at Rochester while waiting on the Guiness Ale Loading I told her no thank you, wife heard you and best be gone. And she was. Poor thing.
