    I say we all show our solidarity by not showering for one month. I know, for half the truckers out there this will be nothing new, but it's the OTHER half that can really make a difference. Eventually, the stench will get bad enough that all the shippers will close their doors to all truckers which, in turn, will shut down all commerce. As a result, all stores will "run dry". Congress will then be forced to intervene, and it will pass the "Ripe Truckers and Musty Crack Act", which will provide that Flying J give full access to unlimited showers, free of charge at all times.

    You sure they didn't go up at Pilot also..since they are together anyway?

    I don't pay for Showers...We only Fuel at PFJs so I usually get 5-6 on my Card there.

    I find the Petro/TA showers to be better on average. My company rarely let's me fuel and anything other than a flying j/pilot so I rarely get to use the the Petro unfortunately.

    Yeah, and then what? Your fleas start complaining about horrible living conditions? Did you get a nasty note from HUD about cleaning the place up for the tenants?:biggrin_25525:

    All the others will now raise their shower rates and even more drivers will stink. Thanks Fj.

    I commend you on one hand for running hard and $tackin up your dollar$... but in that same note, DUDE THAT IS DISGUSTING THAT YOU WOULD GO THAT LONG WITHOUT TAKING A SHOWER! I bet your truck smells like ***, feet, cheese, and stank breath, right now. WOW! But whatever floats your boat.

    shower every other day needed or not.
    the company tells me to fuel at pfj, so I have over 8 showers on the card right now. and even when I take 5 days off, I still come out of the house with 6-7 showers on the card.

    PFJ has been remodeling showers for over a year now. One can't expect them to remodel 4,440 showers over night. Btw the they have added Iopd jacks in the shower.
