    They might could have them but are they going to pay somebody to have them ready 24/7 for trashy drivers who have showers far down on their priority list?

    Between the roller dog and coffee, you didn’t need the shower. You need a free pricate commode for them powerful Hersey squirts. Lol

    I have been to many independent truck stops with nice, clean and well maintained showers. It all depends on the stop.

    You actually use the nasty silverware, glasses, and cloth napkins in a restaurant, I bet you use those nasty towels in the motel you stayed at for orientation. Hear how ignorant you're post sounds?

    It's not ignorant its reality. If someone wants to complain about the nasty truck stop towels do the responsible thing and bring your own like myself and several others do.

    When the toilets overflow, PFJ uses the trucker towels to soak it all up FACTS! lol That's why they switched from white towels to brown towels years ago. Now they are going over to grey towels, I think they bought them at the T/APetro yard sale LOL

    Never had one single problem using truck stop showers and the towels. The guys that say there so disgusting are probably the same ones that walk into a restroom, take a deep breath, pick a toilet stall, close/lock the door, and sit over someone else's steaming mush pile they just left 30 seconds ago.

    I guess you've never witnessed them using the towels to mop up the water on the floor then use the same towel to wipe down the toilet , inside and out. I have on numerous times.
    I'm also sure you've never seen how they over load the washer with towels either.
    Towels also don't rinse completely either especially the fluffier ones.
    Nest time you do a load of towels open the the lid a look at all the left over residual soap.
    It's why I set my washer to double rinse at home.

    I always used my foot and the bath towel to sop up the water on the floor before I left so it was somewhat clean for the shower person,
    hmm
