Now some people might say well I don't want to buy fuel every night to get a free shower or I don't want to buy fuel in a high fuel tax or pump price state just to get a free shower. I hear that but at the same time the fuel taxes wash out at the end of the quarter with an IRP registration anyway based on the miles driven in each state and you'll either owe or get a refund accordingly on the fuel tax. A high pump price state will basically be offset by the free shower if you buy only 50 gallons. The only way you win there is by deciding not to take a shower at all, which never seemed like a bargain to me.
$15 For a Shower?

My last shower I paid for at a TA because no points, I dont get to fuel at TA very often but Loves parking was a no go. Even at Loves I dont always have a shower credit. Maybe my partner got the fuel. I use my points for showers at Loves if I am lucky enough to get a spot at one.
Otherwise, its 15.00 or no shower. Occassionally, I can get a free shower if there is no hot water.D.Tibbitt Thanks this. -

Pilot / Flying J are the only ones that do a 1/2 credit for smaller fuel-up of diesel, anything of 14 gallons to 49 gallons is a half credit and a 10 day expiration.
Loves is 50 gallons for a shower and a drink, don't know about the expiration. Best discount on the fuel at Loves, but PFJ recently changed theirs on my fleet card and is almost as good. I prefer PFJ usually, but fuel price savings.... yeah.
TA... Charges too dang much for the fuel! They want 60 gallons OR $14, but the shower was nicer than the Pilots. -
Just shower once during your 34, and change your wife beater and sweatpants at the same time! Money in the bank.
