Starting tanker OTR soon, sleep and shower question

Most Tank Washes have showers. Some might be clean, others will scar your mind for life

 

What product are you hauling. Major truck stops have rewards cards. If you fuel there, you can get free showers, and other things. I've never bought a shower.

 

I did 10 hr. breaks in truck stops and I pulled hazmat/tankers. Did a couple of 34 hr. resets in truckstops.

 

Like any Peelot or ta won’t

 

Showers won’t be a problem. I hauled hazmat tanker for six (6) years and never an issue. Once you yank tank you won’t go back !

 

Sounds like a personal problem.

 

Tank washes almost always have showers. Some have nice little lounges too. I lived at the quala wash rahway nj. Chinese menus all over the place, cable tv. I would Bob tail into town get pizza and garlic knots.

Except for the tank surge beating up your back. Tank life isn't so bad. I went back to open deck as an OO. As I sit, I'm filthy from tarping.

Um I used to shower on my 30 minute break. Drive six hours, grab 80 gallons fuel, park, go in shower. Grab a soda, keep pushing. That's the other way to shower doing tankers.

 

Electric razor.

Either wet shave at the truckstop sink (not recommended due to the foot washing) or wet shave in the shower sink.

Guys in the service told me about this product called "Magic Shave Powder". Doesn't need much water and you can "shave with a (literal) butter knife!"

Never tried it, though.
