Cost of showers/ laundry at truck stops?

I agree with your post.

I also wish you got shower for fueling with regular fuel. I usually use my local YMCA for a gym shower when I am away (I am a member, and you can use any Y in the nation), but in the west coast, full-service Y's are far and few in between, and they've closed many of them for lack of patrons ... as opposed to the east coast, where they are wildly popular and are easy to find.

So I am forced to use the showers at TA, Pilot, Flying J, Petro, etc.

 

Electric Hyena those cards do come in handy. Get enough points on them you can buy stuff like sodas and such if your are in a bind. Also they can be used at any of the places that use them. I do suggest getting them.

 

Do you do some kind of hot-shot deal with a gas powered truck? Ifso Check out the reward card F/J has for RVs I got one for a trip last year and forgot and left it at home.

 

Are you a lot lizard? lol.. Why are you worried about showering at a truck stop if your not a truck driver?

 

you know lot lizzards do not shower.. lol

 

very true LOL

 

i know an Ed that gets paid to watch men shower

 

Packing a little jar of tides laundry pods, a small pack of dryer sheets, and a pill bottle full of quarters is good practice for laundry, whenever and whetever you can do it. There is always a magic mix of "is there enough time", "are laundry facilities available". I have travelled from training, thru 5 years of driving, using this practice. Showers, you can usually get one through the rewards card, as mentioned. Also, get a pack of "adult wipes" in the adult diaper section. These are large pre-moistened wipes (12"x12") and are a true blessing. You can wash your face, and do a freshening up, even wben you don't have time for a shower. While you are running team/training, your time/schedule will be weird.

 

Your realize this post had been dead for 4 years right?
