Diamonds Underfoot
How-to How-to By BRUCE W. SMITH T en years and a million miles do a wear-and-tear number on just about anything in a working rig. Just look down by your feet. The floor covering, which was once pristine, probably looks as if half those miles were driven over it. Even if you're diligent keeping the cab floor clean, years of exposure to extreme temperatures and climate condi-tions take their toll, as does moisture from wet boots, spilled drinks, dropped burgers and other hazards of everyday use.
