Tips for a Clean Semi-Truck Interior
Healthy Truck Drivers attribute truck cleanliness to their overall wellbeing.
That interior cabin of a semi-truck
is practically a working and living space, especially on the long trips and overnight drives and naps. The build up of germs and dirt is no joke, whether it’s cold or hot outside.
Most of our trucker friends have at one point made cleanliness a crucial part of their training talk when teaching a new driver to show them the tricks of the trade!
Another thing truckers have consistently told us: When officers see a neat and well-kept interior, they see it as a good sign and this helps avoid DOT inspections!!
