    I love those Little Americas. Wish more truck stops were like that. My girlfriend always makes me stop at the one in Flagstaff. Theres a stop some where that had a bathtub if I remember correctly. Ill have to ask the lady about that later, she would know for sure.
    I've showered in a plywood stall in the desert so I'm not too picky about truck stop showers.

    It also depends on your company. I know that Swift makes the trainees and trainer shower together.

    Your best bet is to go into a couple truck stops and check them out for yourself. That way you'll know exactly what to expect.
    The prices are posted by the fuel desk, and you can ask any employee to see the shower room.

    Haha I was thinking the same thing. Would you really want to sit in a public bath tub? Sounds gross.

    People are so paranoid.

    In over 3 years OTR I have never gotten anything bad from a shower or bath in a truck stop.
    And I never use shower shoes.
