This subject is fresh in my memory (and my nostrils) this morning as I dealt with 2 drivers who were THE most "ripe" I have come across in a while. In my day job I still deal with truckers. Most are decent hardworking people, and I know there are plenty of absolutely piggish people out there that are NOT truckers. However, truckers as a group have MORE sloppy, disheveled, greasy, stinky, unkempt dirtballs running around in their midst than any other group on earth besides perhaps carnival folk. I'm sorry guys, you did it to yourselves. Wash up. You stink.
Soap is cheap guys, and truckstops have free showers when you buy fuel. I drove for a long time and I can only think of a few times I went more than 1 day without a shower. Some of you guys smell like you haven't showered in a year. You are disgusting pigs that give the majority of the good truckers a bad reputation.
Also, I have the unfortunate task of dealing with repossessed semis. If you don't think the majority of truckers are pigs I'll show you pictures you can smell through your computer they are so bad. 80% of the thousands of trucks I see in a year are completely hogged out inside with a thick film of black mystery goo on everything the driver touched, sat or slept on. How much of a pig do you have to be to have 1/4" of caked on cigarette ashes and dried up coffee spills all over the cab?
Guys, clean your act up. Here's why.
1) You are giving truckers a bad image with every person you come in contact with. Shippers, truckstop employees, other drivers at rest stops. No one wants to smell your stinky ass. It's offensive.
2) You are making yourself 100% more likely to get a D.O.T inspection. Why? Slobs tend to be sloppy in all aspects of their life. If you are filthy, and your truck is filthy, it stands to reason your logbook and paperwork is probably not in the best shape either.
3) You will feel better!
