    EFS takes a lot of jumping through hoops to put more fuel in at the same stop, it's such a problem that I move on, and put more in later.
    I generally fuel every other day. And get home enough I can take care of showering there.

    PFJ has a program where after 500 gallons in a month you can get a shower everyday, Loves has platinum for the following month, Ultra one has a program as well.

    I don't think they realize how bad it really is.

    The new guys with the mega's get blamed for this. But in the real world its the O/O's that have auth that I see doing it. Mostly those that have been in the industry long enough to have become an o/o and gotten auth. Have also been in the industry long enough that some not all but some have allowed their health to get so poor that they have trouble walking inside the truckstop from the parking lot. Sorry if the post doesn't please the popular crowd that's just been what I've seen out here.

    Guess that must be a problem in our industry. Pretty bad when a Prime driver who has to cruise at at 58mph is calling people out on finding time to shower.

    I thought it was 62?

    The unfortunate truth is that most people don't smell their own stench very well.. especially once they get used to it. It's why homeless people who haven't showered in a while don't gag all day long with their stink but if you're downwind from one, your lunch starts coming up.

    How long did you have to wait to get your UltraOne card?
    I've been waiting over a month now. Starting to think I might need to request another one.

    I filled out the form once. Didn't notice anything. I don't think the registration took. I tried a second time with the same email address and it didn't tell me I already had an account. Once I finished that second time, it may have been two weeks that the card appeared in the mail.

    You'll know you were successful because you'll get a choice to print a temporary card to your email, and at the kiosk you can print a temporary paper card that can be scanned at the register.

    That's why it's incumbent for one to have a preventative maintenance schedule for their hygiene as they would for their truck.
