    That rat hole has been a rat hole since the day it was built. I wouldn't take a dump in that place, or throw my garbage out there either.

    I carry Lysol at all times. Catch most anything I touch, plus the shower floor and I do wear flip flops. Use my own soap. Also there is a wipe called Germ X does not have the baby wipe smell and also works pretty well on grease and oil.

    What a bunch of babies.

    Bring what you normally have at home.

    Shower shoes?
    Never.

    In nearly 3 years I have never caught fungus or anything else from a truck stop shower.
    The only time I got it was my own fault. I had to wear socks more than one day in a row because I didn't do my laundry in time.


    You all can be as paranoid as you want. Keep it up.
    Me?
    I get a shower when I can, being sure to wash (with soap) my feet as nearly the last thing.
    Never had a problem without resorting to flip-flops.
    Because those things just make me off-balance, and I always seem to stumble.

    The major truck stops use disinfectant when they clean the showers, and I never shower except at those that I can reasonably trust.
    And I, for one, always try to leave a dollar or two as a tip to the attendant.
    I'm pretty sure if we all did, they would all make sure we had a sanitary place to shower.

    Ditto, I have a few cans of this in the truck when I'm on the road, it is the most important thing I have when it comes to a shower and a can of it goes in my bad with my towel, soap and 'shoes'.

    I'm glad I'm not the only driver that doesn't wear shower shoes. I figure what's on the floor of that shower is no worse than what's ends up on the floor, sides, and even the roof of my trailer.

    I'd hate to see half these drivers who are so worried about catching coodies and foot fungus wash out my trailer. Good lord people the world is not going to come to an end. Next thing you know you will think you're going to get cancer because a smoker flicked out a cigarette butt, which went down a storm drain, which in turn traveled into the ocean, which in turn sank to the bottom and was Eaton by a crab, which was then caught by a fisherman, processed and slapped on your plate at red lobster.

    I mean seriously, we face death every day out on the road, have close calls every day, but we can't even walk barefoot into a shower? I do believe we have our priorities and things we fear in the wrong order. No offense just saying. There are more important things for us to worry about than getting coodies or foot fungus from a shower. Never wore shower shoes doubt I ever will.

    Some of you are the givers and not the receivers. If you have Freddy Kruger lookin' feet and your shoes smell worse than the NYC sewer system than more than likely you won't need shower shoes. We would appreciate if you took a couple gallon ziplock freezer bags and ziptie them to your feet prior to showering. Then the rest of us wouldn't need shower shoes. :)
