    I am sure we all would like to hear where you feel the best and worst showers are located.
    Please include truck stop name. hwy number, city, state, mile marker, or at your discretion as to information if they are that bad.

    Best: Town Pump/Pilot Flying J east of Missoula, MT. Immaculate and large lots of hot (and I mean HOT) water, plenty of parking and a great c-store. Pizza, Arbys, Subway and a casino. Nice people too.

    Worst: The Sacramento 49er Travel Plaza, dark, small and dirty. They also charge for parking without minimum purchase. Never again if I can avoid it.

    Been to several that weren't too bad but since I'm with a private fleet now and have nice clean showers at our facilities none stand out in memory.

    The worst does though.

    Knox truckstop in Forney, Tx on 80

    Absolutely disgusting. Dark, small and dirty just begins to describe it. Peeling paint, dangling hardware / faucets barely hanging to the wall and overall just not anywhere you'd want to shower.

    $5 with your own towels, $10 with theirs.

    They should have paid me to use that thing.

    San Antonio travel center shower was one of the worst. Someone would have to not care at all for years to build up that kind of petina.

    Cruel Jacks in WY has nice super clean showers.

    My best shower is at the Little America T/S in Little America, Wy. That place looks like a 10 star hotel at Trump Plaza
