    $10.00 at Pilot.

    Of course you can get a free shower provided you buy 50 or moe gallons of fuel.

    Those frequent fueler cards will store points (.01 cent per gallon) and keep shower credits for up to 5 days. Anything more than 5 days and the "free" shower falls off.

    No, the truck stops will give you a team shower, two showers with one fill-up.

    My husband had a friend who not only paid for his showers during training, but for almost his first year on the road too because he didn't know about the free showers.:biggrin_2551:

    Slack arse trainer. If I was training someone and had to smell them 24 hours a day how to get free showers would be the first thing I taught him.

    Hell if you don't buy fuel just spot some guy walking in with a bag and ask if you can be his team driver for 30 minutes. I would never pay for one.

    Showers are free if you take them in the fuel island... Oh wait, that's truck wash!

    Seriously though... If you buy the minimum amount of fuel... You get a free shower. If your a team operation you get 2 free showers.

    If your at a location where your not authorized to fuel & you happen to get that not so fresh feeling.... Don't be scared to ask another driver in person or over the radio if they have a shower they can spare... Most of the time they'll notice your not so freshness & happily give you one.

    I've given showers away to other driver's, vagrants, hitchhikers, & thought about giving some to those nasty lizards... Then I realized that they'd get dirty again a few seconds afterward, so why waste it!
