I keep a clean interior of the truck.

I used to get yelled at by my boss because I took an extra few minutes to clean out the garbage, coffee/soda spills through out the cab. Then one morning I showed him the cab interior. I no longer get yelled at for cleaning up the mess left by the previous driver. :lol: And yeah, the boss has talked to the line-haul drivers to clean up the garbage at the end of their trip...in one ear and out the other! :x Guess we now know at least two carriers who have some trashy cabs huh?! :wink:

I try to clean up the truck before I go to bed at night- regardless of what time. I keep nothing on my dash. I laugh at the stacks of paper, dream catches that block your vision and bags of chips. Daycabs, I'd let slide, but a sleeper cab is unexcusable.
The doghair from my pug is out hand though....

I know, but I'd never get any miles done if I was getting the hair up lol. The good thing is I get all the free packing tape I can ever want

I don't have anything on my dash because I don't like the reflections it makes when I'm driving. I have my map and log book on the passenger seat and one of those seat back organizers with all my stuff in it.
I watched this guy in a nasty FFE truck yesterday at the fuel island get out of his truck and you couldn't even see the floor... NASTY! To top it off, he jumped out with a XXL pitcher full of piss and then dumped in on the ground while half of it splashed all over his truck... some people are disgusting. :shock: :?
