    I give them away if someone needs one...usually earn 2 per day and I only can use 1 per day..so no big deal

    If I see someone about to pay for one, I tell them to keep your money, I have an extra shower credit.

    Pattyj I know. But our trucks are fueled only at Ryder shops. Some shops have showers but they aren't cleaned good.

    A few years ago, I was stopped at a truck stop in Sioux Falls, SD, and I was a new driver and did not know how much it cost to buy a shower. After I asked the clerk and found out they wanted $10 for a shower, I decided I could wait another day before getting a shower. Then a driver comes up to me and gives me a shower ticket.....wow....that was sure nice of him to do that. I am thankful to this day for his kindness!!!

    I slept through a tornado at a Loves.It was my first stop there,as I always used Pilots.
    It was a rough night,and I went in around 5am to buy a shower.
    The girls wanted a card,which I didn't have.I just wanted a shower,and felt rough,
    after a sleepless night.
    They gave me one for free,and I will never forget them for it.It was a great act of kindness
    during a stressfull time.A nice shower always helps clear my head,and start a new day.
    It does mean a lot when you are green.Thanks Loves :biggrin_25519:
     
    pattyj Thanks this.
