    God@#$%! Pilot Truckstops!! I pulled into the port here in Savannah at 13:30 right on schedule, got parked in the oversize breakbulk area and proceeded to pull off all 3 machinery tarps so the marine surveyor could do her job. Then I put them back on till the ship arrives (which BTW was supposed to be Wednesday morning but it ran into weather and is running a day late). Needless to say it's hot and muggy here, rained off and on and my tarps had some road dirt on them, now it's all on me. So I head back down the street to the Pilot, top off my tanks to the tune of $800.00 and head inside for a shower. THEY HAVE NO ******* HOT WATER!! But they were more than happy to charge my loyalty card for a cold shower then after they hand me my shower ticket tell me there's no hot water. I'm usually pretty laid back but there was 30+ customers in the store and even the one's who can't or rather choose not to understand English knew exactly how mad I was. So now I get to drive down to Love's with my very full fuel tanks and spend $10.00 on a shower. Then as I'm storming out the door another driver tells me they haven't had any hot water in the building for a couple days now. Really!, how's the Subway and McCrappyFatteningFood cleaning and furthermore what are the food handlers using to wash their hands?? Maybe a sign on the pumps telling people there's no hot water so a person can decide to fuel somewhere else if the only reason they were buying fuel was for a shower. I wasn't fueling just for a shower but figured I'd get it out of the way then shower. I have 5 showers on my card but unfortunately I don't have a Love's card because my company asks that we fuel at Peelot and Flying J. Not required but I try to fuel where they ask.

    I could keep ranting for hours because I'm not going to fight this afternoon traffic to get to the Love's but I'll stop.

    No hot water is a health Department violation.

    You should make a phone call :)

    Unloaded this morning and I didn't even have to roll up my tarps, as the riggers had them rolled and in the side box while the boss was signing my papers. And on top of that, I got a load right down the street going to Houston, weighing a whopping 19K...... I've finally had some good luck.
