Bathroom And Hygiene

Two words: Plastic bag, and bottle.
Have a great day! :) This is the best job in the world.
Both Pilot and Love's give you a free team shower with fuel purchase.Pilot, Fying J, give you a free shower every day, with monthly purchase of 500 gallons of fuel.If your teammate won't stop at a rest area...get a new team mate.
Im considering a team otrjob and was wondering how often are you able to realistically shower. also, for teams if you wake up in middle of night can you expect to easily pull over to use a restroom. Im worried there wont be one near by or my partner may expect me to hold it until his next planned stop
I find the following very helpful -
Extremely short hair, baby wipes, and a large, empty Coffee Mate creamer bottle. Pilot and Flying J showers are a nice treat realistically once or twice a week. But I have found that the baby wipes (unscented) are very helpful to maintain clean.
OTR:
Over The Road
OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.
TWIC:
Transportation Worker Identification Credential
Truck drivers who regularly pick up from or deliver to the shipping ports will often be required to carry a TWIC card.
Your TWIC is a tamper-resistant biometric card which acts as both your identification in secure areas, as well as an indicator of you having passed the necessary security clearance. TWIC cards are valid for five years. The issuance of TWIC cards is overseen by the Transportation Security Administration and the Department of Homeland Security.
OWI:
Operating While Intoxicated
Showers are every other day or whenever a truck stop is empty and I'm fueling..
