    Yesterday I drove about 600 miles and dropped off a load. I was pretty tired so I ate a meal and went to bed. Early this morning I took a shower before picking up a load. Now I'm parked at a Pilot and after tarping and strapping plus a couple load securement checks in 90 degree weather I'd like to take another shower. I know Shower Power says something like "1 free shower daily" but I also have 5 shower credits on my card. Can I take another free shower or would they charge me the $12 or whatever it is? I would think between the shower power and 5 credits I should be allowed to take 6 free showers should I wish. Have any of you done this before?

    All the time... wake up and take a shower and if I get loaded or unloaded, I'm dirty and want other shower. If you have enough credits, it's free. You can use all 6 in one day if u want

    I take a shower once a week--whether I need it or not.

    I rarely have time to use all my shower credits, so I have no knowledge of how the shower power thing works.... But, you still have credits, so no problem.

    You could also waiy by the Blue Beacon until a flatbedder goes in. Jump on the trailer and hold your breath.

    Thier policy used to be limited to once a day. Found out by giving a shower credit to a coworker, then system would let me shower a hour or so later.

    Yes you usually have to wait a few hours between swiping your shower card. What they don't want is drivers swiping and giving away showers to other drivers.

    That's not true I swipe back to back every other day when me and my students take showers. I swipe back to back because if I use the co driver option it tells me to see a cashier.
