    Do most of the bigger truck stops offer private showers and dressing area?

    Most are free with 50 gallons fuel. Otherwise, they are like $10. There's no reason why you can't get free ones though. I've given many away. Many drivers will help.

    Some truckstop chains put the showers on your rewards card, some you get coupons, some you use your fuel receipt.

    It's a far cry from even just a few years ago with shower rooms with tepid water and pallets to stand on at a few mom 'n pop places - and NO female showers at all....

    Wrong. Some don't even have showers. There are even a couple big chains like pilot that does not have showers.

    When did Pilot take the showers out? Because almost every one I've been to has showers.

    Yep, more of the "good old days." A place with three showers just had three shower heads sticking out of the same wall. And you were lucky if the shower heads were sticking out of the wall far enough apart so the guy next to you didn't touch you when he was soaping down. Or if it was really sophisticated and had a crapper in the shower, they were usually right out in the open - and sometimes facing the shower. So the guy sitting on the crapper was looking right at you while you showered. LOL

    OMG! I have never been over the road but have seen the facilities offered to truckers in my town. They are clean and I would not hesitate to use them. What the heck is wrong with people in the business? Charge for dirty, unclean, unsanitary facilities?

    Come to ND, even with the oil boom, sudden influx of people, you will find a clean place to shower.

    What's really sad is that a lot of the old places with pallets for floors seemed a lot cleaner than some of the big places do nowadays. I wouldn't want to step on a shower floor now unless I had a big bottle of penicillin to wash my feet with.
