    Oh they fit OK. They just felt different. I wear the same size as the freebies. But the freebies went into the trash the moment I found out what was going on. No amount of detergent nor bleach would wash away my feeling of

    It seems more likely they were left behind in the washer or dryer.

    At two different USX terminals I have seen piles of clothes left behind. I'm assuming they were left in the dryer and pulled out so someone else could use the dryer. How does someone completely forget their clothes? It wasn't like they were just sitting there for an hour. I'm talking a couple days.

    Anyone ever had clothes stolen from truckstop laundry? I never did but I did lose a few cool Harley Tees 20 or 25 years ago in the local laundromat. The thing that sucks is Link HD in Coopersburg, PA closed up and you couldn't get any more with Link's logo on the back.

    Yep, husband was sick with the flu about 3mo and put a load of clothes in the dryer at the Pilot in Laredo, left it unattended for a few minutes and came back and the load was gone.....doesn't do that anymore. He lost some weight and needed a few new things, but gee whiz not all at the same time. Hope they fitted the dude.

    I can't even remember the number of petty theft reports from laundromats that I took when I was in law enforcement. It is quite common, in a lot of different areas. NEVER leave your stuff in any public place if you ever expect to see it again.

    Nope. I did a thorough Pre-Wash and Pre-Dryer inspection, according to DOT (Department Of Toiletry) regulations. No anomalies were noted and this was recorded in my iPhone ELOG app. Had there been such an anomaly I would have been sure to spot it. I made sure to look carefully in the washer and even ran my hands around the inside of the dryer prior to moving my load.

    I'm sure I'll have more. It's why I started a blog from Day 1. I figure I'll be trucking at least 10 years, probably 15 until I retire. By then I'll have a plethora of stories.
