Be Free of Truck Stop Showers

That’s way too much money, unless you can somehow get the hotel staff to let you just use the shower for a discount.

 

Motel 6 will leave the light on for you.
And with your CDL you get a discount.

 

Here is a cheaper and more readily available solution:

Go to the pharmacy section of any Walmart. Usually on the back wall is the adult diaper section. There will be adult wipes, larger and stronger than baby wipes. I buy the Assurance brand 96 count for about $5.

One pack can last a month or so. The trick is to stow it upside down when you first get it, so the moisture saturates the top wipe. If you store it upright the top several wipes will dry.

A couple wipes and I can clean up decently after securing and tarping a load. I can go days at a time without a shower.

These also work great for cleaning off grease. If my leather work gloves get grease all over them, I wear the gloves and "wash my hands" with a wipe.

 

If your stick for days on end in a place like you describe, you have bigger problems than getting a shower!

 

(1) 5gal bucket from Dunkin Donuts..used to have donut filling in it so it's safe and free!!
water from the fuel lane filled 1/2 way. add lid
presto- water to wash dishes or arms or truck floors... or even dunk my whole head when I tarped in Pueblo.
I've never showered in my truck- I'll look that up. I prefer my 10 away from truck stops and sometime the shower wait won't work for me. I have put the bucket on the catwalk and 'washclothed' myself pretty darn clean but I can do it wearing a dress and that makes it a little easier. Might look more awkward for a guy lol....

 

You threw me a curve with the “wearing a dress” comment till I realized what you were saying....LOL!

 

oh go ahead- give it a try!!! maybe get yerself a manly looking kilt....might be just the answer you've been looking for LOL

 

Lol....!!!!!
