    Personally, if they did charge for them and I was still on the road; I'd be more then happy to pay for it and be thankful for a place to shower............

    After I turned 50 and reflected back on all my quiet ways I said let's dance with my deamons, life is too short for me to hold back. After all the lead paint generation was not all that bad. LOL

    Truck Stops are a business, theyre in it to make money. They have overhead like we do. I bought a truck with a refrigerator and put in a microwave, I buy gallon jugs of water to wash dishes. My wife an I pre make meals for the week, and I go too walmart or costco for snacks, fruit an drinks. Be more self reliant and work smarter, you will save a ton of money. As far as the pay toilet thing, you can thank the nasty imbeciles who treat the bathrooms like a dumping ground for them to even consider that idea.

    That's great but me personally would take my business elsewhere. Just like I fuel at Love's not Pilot just for the free coffee refills.

    I think all that would do is make a bigger mess in the parking lot.

    Maybe, but if people took a little more pride in themselves and treated public places like thier own, it wouldnt really be an issue. As it is people pee an crap in the parking lots, and dump trash out thier windows. People wonder why Walmart and other places kicked us out... I treat everywhere I go with respect, if I make a mess I clean it up.

    Thats the problem, treating public places like they're own place...some of these nasty clowns driving ..I would hate to see what their house looks like...that's one scary thought.

    So far 9 stops at the hook and pilots, no one at any place has a clue about this topic.

    Me thinks someone is stretching the truth
