Personally I like to see a pony tail on a man, it reminds me of real horses, when you lift it up there’s an a$$ hole underneath LOL
Nothing wrong with a well maintained and tidy ponytail on a man.
Let me guess, you went bald in your twenties? 
He’s a bit scared of anything not conforming to his narrow mindset, and only knows one way to cope.

Yeh in 1991 maybe, in fact I had a one myself then 
A ponytail today is the 2016 equivalent to a 70s comb over… 
I can’t help it that I have a full head of fast growing, luxurious hair. But, I extend my usual offer to you too Rob, if you would like some of my hair to replace yours, you aremore than welcome…

Cheers mate, I would maybe have took you up on that about 10 yrs ago, but I have got used to, and am fully comfortable with the shaven head ‘thug cut’
Anyway I am just too goddam handsome as I am now, and I reckon adding a full head of hair would just tip the ladies right over the edge.
So I’ll refuse your offer for my own safety…

There are so many men who should of been born a female in the driving game these days they don’t want to work long hours. They don’t want to drive trucks with gears . They don’t know how to use a map and would get lost if there sat nav ran out of power and they want there cabs to smell like perfume shop bunch of bloody fairy’s drivers are these days class 2 numb nuts I bet
It’s a while since we heard the ramblings of old Pete, the man who says you are not a real tramper unless you crap in a carrier bag 
, so maybe not to be taken too seriously eh?
Anyway Pete, I thought you had jacked driving, and on your way to your first million earned by your mysterious new career that you didn’t like to talk about.
i only wish we had phones that could take pictures back in the day when having a crap in the cab was seen as normal can you imagine the fun posting up the pics on here ?
When exactly were these days Pete? 
I’ve been in this game for a while now, and I certainly don’t remember them, maybe I’ve missed out on a whole fulfilling experience here…
Perhaps you could enlighten me as to when these days of old were, when the sound of crap hitting polythene could be heard through the open windows of all trucks parked up for the night.
your still the doubting Thomas ■■■■■ of the site i see rob.
27 years ago when night heaters would be a luxury, you would be lucky if your cab didn’t get ■■■■ wet in the rain, you took your own bog roll as standard kit. as you never knew when you was going to need a turd.
these pony tailed morons wouldn’t last 5 mins years ago when driving was a proper job that required skills and it was a job that was rough as a bears arse you had to really love it to get into it and be prepared for a turd in the cab
i guess the drivers of today would report anyone who so much as ■■■■■■ in there cabs these days
bunch of fairy’s
On the original topic, I give my cab interior a wash with soapy water now nn again. Wipe over dash etc with bit of furniture polish on a cloth. Window spray for inside and out. Clean, but not shiny for me. Did have a truck with alloys and if it was a nice day Id listen to radio while sat outside in the sun-shine giving em a buff up.
Answering calls of nature inside the cab? A bottle is a good idea. (With a wide neck of course!). Anything that needs a bag and some follow up paper work stays outside. Ive had some experiences with tummy bugs etc, as have most of us Im sure, but never yet had to resort to measures that desperate.
robroy:
Pete mate, I’m fully aware of how things were back in the day.
I first got my Class 1 in 1979 ffs. As for 27 yrs ago, I had a Seddon Atki 401 (dry 
) twin bunks and a …night heater, so maybe it was just you that drove a crock of crap.
When I started, I have slept across the engine cover on a padded board with no night heater and had to scrape the ice off the INSIDE of the screen still in my 2 sleeping bags waiting for the ■■■■ poor heater to warm the cab before I got up.
Guilty as charged to ■■■■■■■ in a bottle, but for ■■■■■■■■ in the cab sorry Pete you are on your own there mate.
It maybe says something about me, and a lot more about you.
Btw I DO know you are just winding me up 
, I’m just responding because I’m bored.
As for all these ponytailed drivers you mention, have you just arrived from 1990?
well i guess it is true i started out in a crock of crap so i give you that rob, it was an old daf unit eaton box the bunk was a flat bench, no night heater rattled like hell and you had to let it stand for 10 mins at least to warm up in the mornings.
it was the only way i could get a start was working for a subby as it was hard back then to get a job with no experience but i soon had to learn and i look back at the conditions back then compared to now and i wouldnt want to go back to the cold nights away i pitty the drivers who were around donkey years before me but they managed to survive and get the job done
on the subject of turds i wonder if the motorway cleaners still have to pick up the wrap up turd parcels ? it was a common complaint back then turd parcels. i guess they now pick up broken sat navs that are thrown from cabs or mobile phones the days of the bog roll driver seem to have vanished
Yeh the conditions (and driver type in a lot of cases 
) have changed, but I would not like to go back to some of the crap we had to put up with then, the job is much easier, albeit dumbed down. (and more regulated near to death)
As for your in cab toilet activities Pete, and these turdparcels you are banging on about, I think my, and your, trucking career were in paralell universes,… or maybe I’ve just led a more sheltered life eh?
"the days of the bog roll driver seem to have vanished " Desypete.
Almost, but not quite. I do carry some kitchen roll in my trouser pocket, in case the public facilities have none left. Saves looking in all the stalls, hanging around, and attracting unwanted attention. (Cue innuendo about un/wanted attention in public bogs!).

I didn’t say I don’t carry bog rolls, for same reason as you, I do, I just don’t ■■■■ in my cab.
(Not saying you do btw .)
Also btw…kitchen roll blocks up the bogs

imagine your miles from anywhere stuck in a lay-by in need of a turd and its gail force winds outside ■■■■■■■ down with rain what would you do ? the trailer is sealed there is no where to go
i would suggest the curtains get drawn and the trousers come down and you enjoy the relief while taking the dump in the passenger side of the cab and make a nice neat turn parcel as it would be the only way unless you can think of another way ?
I find bog roll crumples up in the pocket, but a folded kitchen sheet will be there after a coupla days. And to avoid blocking up the works I rip em in half. Oh, and I do try to get em out my pockets before laundering the trousers as they disintegrate leaving white spots over all the wash. Should we copy this thread to “Mum`s Net”?

if need be between the rear axles, make sure you take your keys with you bit embarrassing if some one drove off and left you in the layby with your pants down - lol
never ever have I taken a dump inside a vehicle, even in midge infested scottish west coast (and that can be a real test of ones resolve), even in deep snow, heavy rain, gale force wind, whatever the situation I would find somewhere other than inside.

Wouldn’t happen mate, as I never park in any lay by, let alone one miles from anywhere.
Thats your problem Pete, you are parking in all the wrong places, you should know better with your bowel problems to park somewhere close to have a crap.
Ive had a few F series Ovlov’s (10, 12,16) one was a globe trotter so theyre all quite roomy but how the hell do you manage to contort yourself enough to have a cr@p in the cab?? Even so this really has to be the pits, its where you live ffs. Do these people have a dump in their living room whilst watching telly??
