Truck stop showers….

Truck stops are just not truck stops anymore are they? The showers/restrooms are probably going to have to lease run by a mom and pop setup like when the truck stops were first opened. Once any nice company creates these huge chains then they really lose control over time of their stores. TA/Petro is still better than Pilot/Love's they just need to contract out some of their business, showers being FIRST. Bring back Iron Skillet, Country Kitchen too, that was a MEGA mistake. Like the stocking of the store items, that is done mainly by one man in his CDL B style vehicle. Frito Lay, Pepsi, Coke...They should do that for the Showers Now. People are to lazy now. Will not work. We have a young man 20's appearing lives here, you can smell the road kill skunk, pot, when you pass his apt. He is not bathing like it used to when he worked. He had a career and quit, he worked 4-10 hour shifts, 4 on day 4 days off, quit THAT Job, he is trying for mental illness SS disability. He is only in his 20's. Serious problems folks. We have a paleo indian/ spanish speaking newcomer from who knows where, doesn't speak English, that gives them away, if they were born here they would speak English, borders are open, got a job milking cows at a dairy, has woman and baby there with him now, already. What happened to the boy in Apt 4? Its not alcohol, or dating, or his mother. Folks its that MJ or hint- something you use to cook in, 3 letters, starts with "P".

 

I TOTALLY agree. Its being done on purpose. It almost looks that way. Public wants to get rid of Truckstops in general. They don't like them in their towns, even though the town grew up around them, truckstops were first, helped the town and city grow. They want them GONE. Trucking companies should not use pp lot or loves, they should be on the emergency fuel stops list. pp-lot and loves are going to switch back to being for 4 wheelers basically and the towns develope around them anyways. So we need to keep our Big Parking Trucks stops going. Write to the TA/Petro AM Best. Tell the President/CEO. We might want to bombard them with emails, letters, whatever it takes. The bigger truckstops need a makeover and it needs to be done at local level FIRST, the manager FIRST, then the staff, fix this before its too late.

 

Love that Idea. Thats a fantastic idea. Indeed we need to write, I have to leave it there. The policies of gobberment are not allowed. This is more of a how is your mpg, is your dog ok, my headlight fell out, what should I do, is highway 5 washed out at blipperburg? If I start driving today can I find a new job after 1 week or is it 52 weeks? Do you get a bump of 02 cents next year, we do.
I saw a truck upside down in the corn yesterday close to blipperburg? I wonder what happened?
Hi, I just got out of jail, I failed a UA recently, I smoke pot everyday all day. Can you recommend a company for me and my 3 big dogs?
Then everyone joins in and its really quite a bore. Which is fine, but not going to get things DONE. I mean its okay for blipperburgers, to chat, I am sure many drivers found things out they did not know, I have myself, BUT... Now really fixing things, you need to go to the Political Forum. That's where things are going to change and get people fired up. Which is sad, but its desperately needed. Thank you again. I love that Idea. It won't fly here. Use the Political Forum. Have a good day.

 

Thanks you. but...... like I said.... I can PM you the password I guess, if that is allowed. Not sure I will ask okay. Got to go for now. Its time for my 4 mile walk. I love walking in the mornings near the soybean farms here. Be back soon. I will send you the password for the Political Forum if you want then. Have a great day.

 

Nope gotta have a shower daily, no way
Did the no shower thing in military not any more. I have been known to stop in middle of night where no showers available and pour gallon jugs of water over my head soap up and rinse off. 2 gallons usually sufficient, but OCD on cleanliness of my truck and every in my life.

 

I use wipes and Gold Bond powder, and shower as soon as I get home on Friday nights.

 

I was in the Ar-Kansas a few years ago and shut down at some independent TS early in the day. I went in to get a shower and the lady said I would have to wait, they were all dirty. I knew the reaction I would get get when I told her I didn't care, just give me the key to one. She was impressively horrified and got the dude named Earl that was stocking shelves to clean a shower ASAP. Worked like a charm, but I was a bit worried how quick he finished. Oh well, there no critters running around.

 

Don't bet on that
