    Never heard of a camp shower installed on the trk unless its a studio sleeper..Anyway,you can take a shower every day,that's what your 10 hr brk is for.Or if u have enough time while enroute to the shp or receiver,stop and take a shower.You probably won't get to shower every day while in training though.

    Use a small tub in your sleeper... keeps America safe from the horror!

    You'll be OK OP...
    I'm the same way I feel nasty without showering everyday,
    baby wipes will refresh you, like the other guy said, it can clean 2000 of your parts,
    use the baby wipes some cologne , and fresh clothes, you'll feel fine ....

    I was stuck in that hell hole called California a few weeks ago and couldn't get to a shower. Gallon jug of water worked out to at least wash ny hair. Just don't use to much shampoo its hard to rinse out.

    Baby wipes or there are bath wipes that have water/soap in each packet.

    There are going to be times when you can't shower everyday. wet wipes are good. I will take what we call a canteen shower also. you just have to get creative sometimes. I can't stand being Icky.LOL

    You can be creative when necessary. I've "showered" in a roadside pond in Ma. Walked thru sprinklers in a bathing suit at 3 am, used the fuel island hose in a closed truck stop, a gallon jug of water poured over my head. Even a sponge bath and clean skivvies will do wonders.

    Well, crap, I was hoping that it came with the towel girl.

    Yes, something like that - but out on the catwalk, not inside the truck! :p

    Thanks for the replies, didn't expect that much interest!

    You'll get used to it...

    Most of us only shower on our birthdays, once a year. A hot shower is a little treat to ourselves.
