    So I passed the tests and got my permit here in arkansas. Got travel arrangements and will be catching the bus Monday morning. Looking forward to learning and making the best of each opportunity to learn this business inside and out. I do have a quick question. Should I bring towels or are they provided in the ts when ya shower?

    Yep good luck!...Bring a pair of flip flops that you can wear in the shower so you dont get any kind of feet fungus.

    You get the hotel bath room. Most cost around $10 unless you have a frequent fueler card. You may be able to "team" shower with your trainer. This just means you both get a separate shower for the price of one. You get a towel, wash cloth, soap, and some have a paper mat.

    Prime instructors/trainers are supposed to make sure you get your half of a "team" shower on the rewards cards at the ts chains. You might want to bring along a couple of wash cloths... our terminals provide towels only.

    Most of the Prime folks post in here...

    I would bring one towel.

    Ohio has showers on the tollway. They are free but no towels provided.
