    1 to 1. And even though 50 gals gets a shower that's it. 100 doesn't equal two. One shower per fuel stop, just has to be minimum of 50 gals.

    Thats the great thing about fueling multiple times in a day as those credits can add up quickly.

    Yes, a shower at TA/Petro is 1200 points. Not sure what Pilot/FJ is but I think its the same. I get sent to Pilot so much more than TA so my TA showers always expire and I have to use points. No big, I just save all my Pilot points to buy toys

    And yea, one run from Marshfield to Phoenix and back I racked up 6 showers, all Pilot/FJ. Literally could use one for each day of the run xD

    Talked to Pat in dedicated about Dairyland and he recommended the Silgan account (dry van). After 3 years of hauling +40k reefer loads, empty tin cans sounds easy.

    Waiting for my medical exam to clear. Unless there's a paperwork problem I should start mid-May.

    Yep they are simple and light. Just have to make sure it's a clean trailer, really clean, no dampness, nothing on the floor. If you can keep rotating same trailers, no problem. Doubt that's the case though.

    It's not all empty cans. You'll also have 40k+ loads of lids with Silgan.

    That's a lot of lids. No big deal, the only thing I got tired of with reefer loads was going back to the shipper to take a pallet off because I scaled over 80k. Also having to cross weigh stations with half a tank of fuel was rough.

    I still like reefer and could do it again, but a change for now will be good. Looking forward to working at Roehl which ever fleet I wind up on.

    Thanks again everyone for the replies!

    I am looking into the 7/7 reefer and wondered if anyone has more info for that. Would reefer be better than dry van? They both offer the 7/7.
