No liquid to spill! 24 sheets/washes was about $5.50

Once again I'll admit my ignorance--but don't truckstops still give both team drivers a free shower when fueling??

Ask a daycab driver if he has any showers on his card,I gave 3 away on Friday night.
Rotten Thanks this. -
How generous of you to give 3 driver's showers.... Did you wash their backs?

I found this wonderful Tide + Febreeze Sport. Eliminates tough stains and helps eliminate odors. Obviously made for the hard working trucker in mind. or the soccer mom with kids who do sports. Either/or. -
here they are
I throw one in the laundry bag before I start adding each day's clothes to help keep things fresh.
MikeeeeRotten, Prostreet1 and sgfulton83 Thank this. -
Pmracing, did not mean to be "snippy" I just don't like it when I get info about something I'm not asking about, and not a bit of info on what I did ask about. I don't care about the cards. I already know I get free showers, but for the training period its unknown if the trainer will want to use his card or not. We will not be team driving therefor I doubt we qualify for dual showers. If so that is cool. I just like to know prices cause god forbid I lose my card, the card reader is retarder or who knows. it never hurts to have proper funds for all purchases just in case. I hate relying on cards. I tend to lose them.
Those sheets are ######! So they are detergent and softener? Or are they just detergent sheets? I will have to get some of those. I have a bottle of detergent and some dryer sheets, but I will remember them next time I buy stuff.
Those truck stops must make a ton of money off the showers given it probably only costs a few cents worth or water. Then again the average trucker I see never seems to know the concept of showering.
Thanks for the info everyone. I will keep in mind the cost in case a time comes where I'm forced to pay. I will look into the platinum card. I probably won't get it since USA has designated fuel stops all over, but you never know. Cannot wait to get on the road. -
those sheets are a great idea
yesterday was in a rite aid drug store---and right up by the coounter i saw a small bag/pouch---it had 5 butt gaskets in it--i have never seen them for sale--might be kind of nice to have on the road---usually the container in the stall is mt--cause certain drivers tend to make them into cowboy hats----no i am not naming namesAmerican-Trucker Thanks this.
