    It's your rig while your living in it....I'm sorry driver. I don't get that attitude. Nobody will look at you and assume that it's "your boss's truck." They only see the man driving it, and you'll give off the impression that you don't clean up at all.

    Perhaps but if i dont own it, then i aint paying for someone elses crap. I will keep the interior as clean as posible because yes i do live in it. But i am not going to blow hundreds or thousands a year on someone elses equipment because THEY cant be ####ed. And i could honestly care less what someone thinks of me for it. You dont get ahead in life throwing your own money in the trash esentially for zero gain and that kinda thing is how we get employeers who expect the employee to pay for stuff on the truck the employee doesnt own.

    That said however, my OWN equipment now that i am an O/O. i do my best to keep resionably clean. Im not going to wash it if i know im going to spend a week or so in a muddy pit, doing multiple loads of coke that will cover it in black goo or salt plant thats going to cover it regardless of what i do. But i will clean it when that job is done. Im actully quite fond of my new rig and keeping it pretty even if its a glorified fleet truck that some ####### thought was a good idea to use as a dump truck.

    I’ve never wanted to live in California, except every time you post a picture. #### that’s a good-looking truck and a beautiful background.

    Sitting at job site, get to drive in this slop, my Pete will be dirty. Guess if I had a Freightliner the mud wouldn’t get on it . EC33BBE3-DAC2-4F5B-8F7D-C26663F0A961.jpeg
