    I just love getting sprayed by the person next to me because thier windows are more important than paying attention.

    If someone throws the bucket of water on you, you'll know it was me.o_O

    Penn Oil Company, I-75, exit 460 in Florida. I fuel there and not the Petro at the 368 specifically because they have water at the fuel island. Water with hoses and spray nozzles at each island. I like that I can thoroughly wash my windows and fill my windshield washer reservoir.

    Occasionally you'll see someone washing more than their windows, but not too often. It's a whole different breed of driver when you get away from Pilot and Loves.

    I've been thinking about having a super soaker in my truck for final rinse in my windshield. No hose needed. No more streaks. Anyone else think that's a good idea? I do.

    One time a few years ago at a Love's I saw a crazy old Russian Driver having a shower under the water faucet in the fuel lane, washing his head under there like a fool.

    Real buckets with clean soapy water with long soft bristle wash brushs and higher power water hoses were the norm for years at most truck stops
    Until they were abused stolen etc.....Just another lost perk from a by gone era.....

    When I was a young, arrogant cow hauler, I used to shovel all the grass fed poo into the bottom belly, then added water to it at the fuel island while I fueled. Made it way easier to clean out.

    Yeah, but most of them have the water shut off. I'm happy when I find one that is usable...and I don't hog it, especially if someone is behind me.
