    Not must do, but prefer to do.
    And good for you, running that much while cutting so many corners.

    Don't try to berate me because of how I choose to live my life, and don't try to impress anyone either.

    Some people are just so transparent, they seem not to be there at all.

    There you go again, trying to sound like you're some deep thinker firmly entrenched in the trucking lifestyle.

    Btw, I quit swift back in 2014 and ran just over 180k miles in 2015. Yes, that's solo, on a slightly faster(72mph) truck. Two days after I quit the Phx terminal manager personally called me asking me to come back. I told him I'll keep that in mind.

    Good to see you're still doing your thing

    3dayhaul, you might be able to run even more miles if you learn to let it go. Been almost a year since the last part of this exchange.

    Been festering much? Try a poultice.

    I found another way to maximize shower credits if you frequent a particular truck stop. Be friendly with the staff. I've received many a shower when I don't have credits.

    Here's a tip: leave a tip.

    Seldom do the hardworking folks cleaning the showers get a tip. They REMEMBER you. Be sure to THANK them for their service.

    I leave $1bill and a $1 casino chip that I collect from casinos around the country. My change jar is getting full so what I will often do is carry 10 dimes or 20 nickels in and stack it with the casino chip. Otherwise if I pour the change into the change machine at Walmart, they keep 9% of my change which is worse odds than the casino table games.

    Where are you? I'm here at the TA, drivers are holding the door open for me, but I'm not ready to leave just yet.

    If your parked in a Pilot or Flying J, try and see if an O/O has an extra credit you can use. They have a program that gives a shower a day after a certain amt of fuel, plus the regular shower earned. That chain of trkstps gives me extra points on fuel, and I am sure many other O/O's, so don't be shy in asking. I would be glad to give any co. drvr a free shower.
