Clean clothes

Do you do your laundry at the truck stops? Use a laundamat?
Or pack enough to have clean clothes for each day you are out OTR?

Actually, we do both. We pack heavy in the suitcases, have one plastic container each in the side boxes with extra clothes, and extra puppy blankets (that I make for them) to change out.

We don't do laundry at the truck stops. Each time we shower, we put our dirty clothes in a wal-mart (or whatever) bag and tie it closed and store it in the outer boxes. We do the same with puppy blankets that we change out along the way. After a few weeks of this we'll take a Sunday afternoon when we're sitting and go to a laundry mat and do up the whole mess. This takes a few hours as we literally tear the truck apart, puppy beds and all, but it saves us from getting caught with wet clothes during a run offer.

I used to have more clothes in the truck than I had at home. Then I got smart and spoiled. I went to work for a co. where I was home every weekend. Then I took only 7 shirts and 7 pairs of jeans. There was always a pair or two of shorts and a jacket. My biggest hang up was blankets. Have any of you ever had your engine go down on you outside of Denver, Co. in the middle of winter? Well you can bet your bottom dollar I won't freeze like I did the ONLY time it ever happened to me, again.

Hung a net laundry bag and throw laundry in.....keeps clothes aired out.

Laundry at terminals or truckstops....

Hang a bungee cord up high....and any towels or clothes that get wet hang up til dry enough to join those in bag....until laundry can get done...

Laundry stick or spot spray.....Spray or wipe before throwing garment in laundry (bag).

I didn't know where else to post this, but it has something to do with clothes.........if you've ever had to crawl under your truck to fix or look at something, I hated to have to use a jacket or blanket....so I carry an old shower curtain to lay down before I crawl under there. It's really nice when the ground is wet.

That is a very good idea :cheers:

I carry enough clothes in my truck for 2 weeks.An extra set of sheets and extra blankets. Also keep my own laundry supplies in the truck. I will do laundry at a truck stop, especially if I go to Cali.

Like Foxfire, I have more clothes in my truck than I do home.
