    I've never waited more than a few minutes for a shower nor heard anyone ever say they waited anywhere near that much time...Seems a very rare phenomena...I'm not knocking it, some people like all these apps, I just don't see a need for this one...If it's free, why not, you can say you have it! :biggrin_2559:

    I also have the CAT Scale app and the TruckerNet app for when my Detroit
    needs service :biggrin_25524:
    Of course the TruckerNet App doesn't work on my Android for some reason...

    as someone with a lame phone...because i always have my laptop and i pay for internet and they wont set me up with anything to tether my computer that wouldnt end up costing more than i pay now if i did..i dont like the idea of people being able to sneak ahead on showers. you gotta be at that desk imo!! haha

    Are you also against making reservations for restaraunts and hotels? How about appointments, or would you like to stand in line there too...just sayin, its nice to wait in the comfort of my truck and then go straight to the shower when its ready.

    Another great app I found yesterday for Oregon is the "Oregon Trip Check" app, it shows road condtions and road cameras etc. There are probably more for other states too.

    A decent fuel stop will have showers ready and not have a line . Too many Pilots don't clean showers until someone needs one . Lazy attitude trying to hope no one needs one until the next shift comes in .
    How about Love's sign for "Express showers " ? Get a number then go get a meal in our restaurant or shop in our store . What a BS attitude . Make you wait for a shower so you'll spend money .
    I've been in several Love's where one person has to man the fuel desk and clean the showers . Always somebody waiting either to get a shower or get a scale ticket , fuel receipt or whatever .

    I never understood why people would stop at a Petro or a Loves. They are nothing more than overpriced half ### fuel stops. Neither one of them are truck stops.

    Care to make a list of the "real" truck stops out there ? It probably won't require much of your time .

    I like Truckstops by Truxster.. It's a great addition to Co-pilot live Truck which also runs on my droid.. My two most used apps, besides Kindle and all the amateur radio apps I have..
