    Peelot in Pottsvile, PA. They only have 3 showers and you have to ask them to put you on a waiting list.
    the showers themselves are grimy at best and if someone flushes the toilet in another part of the building you get a sudden gush if really hot water.

    The peetro in Gaston IN has its showers in like the attic. The only time I used these the shower room had three levels to it. The toilet was on one level. The sink on the next and shower stall on top level.
    Each level was actually quite a step up from each other and the water was so hard that after I got out if the shower I felt dirtier than before I went in.

    When I use any truck stop shower, I always wear water shoes/sandals to keep from touching the floors whether they're clean or not.
    I stay stocked on body wash, shampoo, towels, wash rags just in case. I've seen very clean and also nasty showers everywhere I've been, so to me, there's not really a specific truck stop chain that I can say is clean or dirty.

    Loves Wichita Falls Texas. went in, walked out made the manager go in see it. pointed out the huge black grunge growing in the shower stall, and asked if that was what they were feeding the dead crickets to. (yes, dead crickets all over the floor.) walked out and had company route me to other places. i've never been back.

    I've really noticed it's the state that represents a lot to do with shower . I don't run northeast but I've learned that Georgia, Alabama , Louisiana , Mississippi are the worst and not Hateing on anyone but a lot of employees with bad attitudes. I used that small pilot on 16 in Georgia the filthiest I've ever seen and yes I am ex military so I do where shower shoes but wasn't prepared for drain backing up had to go to doctor when I got home got ringworm from it. But hands down before pilot took over flying j was the best especially the convienance of getting one.

    The Sacramento 49er (now a Pilot, go figure) was the most pathetic shower I ever took anywhere. I think I can piss harder than the water pressure you get there. Shower curtain was filthy and had multiple holes in it, ventilation doesn't exist. Never again!
