Love's to spend $230 million this year

Does it matter?


as long as they have showers and truck parking its a truck stop....thats all we need.

Truckers buy fuel, and sleep there, if there is space. They want people to buy fuel, or gas, and go. There is no money in parking and sleeping, and possibly buying a Pepsi, then leaving.

 

AT, you should have seen how trucks stops catered to truckers 35 years ago. You would be amazed in the difference.

 

That is my point. A lot do not have showers or truck parking. They are meaningless to truckers.

 

where is there a loves without showers?




American Trucker

 

yeah I've heard, but the world was a differant place back then. People actully cared about one another and not just about getting rich and screwing everyone else.

Just one more reason why I wish I had been born in the late 50's...

I've seen at least a couple in OK.

 

Yeah, like drive a D9 Cat through the front door of that clownhouse...

 

Plenty of PEElots without showers also, and a few that might as well not even bother claiming to have showers. (Freakin tiny shower stalls they call shower rooms...)

 

ROFLMFAO! OH HOO BOY! Most of you would have loved truck stops back up till early 80's! You think some of those are "tiny?" Again ROFLMFAO! Try the width of where the toilets would be in a row with the toilet removed, the stall walls made a little longer not wider, a new tile wall installed and wallaa the "shower is built!" A bench on one wall and hopefully the arse next to you doesn't reach under the wall and grab your bag and run!

OR

The old military style showers like I had in the old WWII barracks where there were 3 1/2 walls, 6 shower heads, and a few other guys naked and showering! And again hoping some arse isn't going through your bag or jeans hanging on the wall!

OR

How about NO showers but there is a sink and your wash rag! Ans that could be all you saw several times in a row for several days!

Be glad you have the option of a PRIVATE shower and screw how big the thing is! Jeeze Louise do you think they built that building so you could luxuriate in a ROOM? Be glad you aren't paying for the silly thing or paying for those stiff things called a towel and wash rag! Get in hang your clothes off the hook if some moron hasn't stolen it because he doesn't make enough to buy one at WalMart for a buck 99! Or stolen the shower head or something stupid like stuff crap in the drain or just do something juvenile to screw it up and the truck stop has to spend money to repair and they raise their rates to recoup the money!

I love a place that I can undress, shave at a sink then sit on a toilet in that same room instead of down the hall (Binghampton,NY -TA) shower and do what I need! Why do you need more room than the stand up room in your sleeper? You should be used to a shoebox by now! Besides a small room makes some of these idiots that have to take an hour to SS&S get er done and get the heck out! They really should charge you for every minute over 15 during rush hours at the showers!

I'll put a few places I've taken a "bath:"

Creeks
River banks
Behind a shop with a hose
The cat walk behind the sleeper
Sinks
Buckets
KOA Camp grounds
Carnival Showers at fairgrounds
Horse stables
Cattle ranches in the big water troughs
Sleeper of the truck
Standing in the rain

Yeah enjoy those tiny stalls before they decide to charge you for them!
