Lol Dawn dish soap....Years ago, my mom wrote to them told them it was a great soap to remove oil and grease from ducks! Dad had a white big pet duck, he'd crawl under the truck or whatever, and get oily grease all over his feathers.....Dawn never replied to her suggestion....Then what do you see now on tv commercials?? exactly ! Dawn for birds or ducks in oil spills !! Before she died, mom wrote them again about it, never heard squat! hahaha

I usually apply one coat of bug juice with the scrubber, then dunk it again and soak the windshield a second time. Let it sit like that. When I'm done fueling, I apply one more wet scrub and everything comes off great.

Hydrogen peroxide mixed with water dissolves the bugs,in under a minute. Its cheap at Wal-Mart, Keep a sprayer handy,and spray on the window,wait one minute...no scrubbing required,

If just use it straight. The stuff on the bottle is like 5%, anything less would have no effect.

Use dawn dishwash on the squeegee. Everything shrubs off pretty easily. Sitting and waiting does suck, but, use that time to catch up on paperwork, plan the rest of your trip and whatever else needs done. This job is only a little bit about the drive. It's more about being an administrator than anything. Yes, driving is the longest part of the job, but, the paperwork is vitally important. BoL's get you paid. Properly planned trips save time and fuel. Time management is what it's about. If everything is caught up, take a nap! Go to sleeper berth and get some sleep. You're not super trucker.

Sleeper Berth:

The portion of the tractor behind the seats which acts as the "living space" for the driver. It generally contains a bed (or bunk beds), cabinets, lights, temperature control knobs, and 12 volt plugs for power.

Dm:

Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager

The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.
