    There's a shower at the shop in KCMO. I don't know if anyone uses it. It looks nasty.

    There are too many other options when I'm there. I can either drive to the Flying J or to the office in Liberty. I know what you're saying about grungy. I'm a Marine. I've been there... LOL

    Coming to act on the 17th, been reading ur posts and can't wait. Been driving for 26 plus years and have done more than one lp. If u want to make money in a lp its simple. Go slow plan your day out before u go and only take the fuel u will need for that run. And watch ur advances. My wie is an accountant so I know exactally what I'm getting paid, and the cost.

    I don't agree with your fueling advice at all. What happens when you finish a trip and you are in one of the more expensive states to buy fuel? You have to pay more for the fuel that's what happens. I buy as much fuel as I can in the cheaper states so I keep my fuel costs as low as possible. You just need to keep a high enough bank balance to handle the lower check one week but you end up with more profit in the long run.

    Well said. You have to look at it as a whole picture, not a week to week deal. That's one reason a lot go broke is because they pay way too much for fuel for the year.
