COVID-19 related trucking-relevant closures

Since the showers are supposed to be disinfected with each use, why would they close them. They are probably the safest area in the whole truck stop.
Now, if they no longer have the personnel to do it, that might be the reason. But the laid off waitress or fast food person might jump at the chance to continue working.

 

All the rest nationwide are open. Must be something wrong with theirs.

 

In the past few days, I drove from Mississippi through Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Missouri. Every rest area that I drove past had a sign that said rest area facilities closed truck parking open. I also noticed an unusually large number of trucks parked on the 4 wheeler section of rest areas.

All the trucks stops that I have been to are still open and business as usual except no sit down dining, take out only.

 

Forget the showers and bathrooms. Get your 5 gallon bucket with toilet lid and diaper wipes for wipes down ##### baths. Going in these nasty places right now is not worth the risk. Yall know a lot of times these folks wipe the bathrooms down with the used dirty butt juice towels and spray here and there..forget it...nope not now

 

The biggest change I see is less traffic, truck stops have an employee giving out free drink re-fills instead of self-serve, restaurant is to-go only. I also notice the showers at Love's are only giving 1 bath towel instead of 2.

 

I still use truck stop showers. I just spray everything with Lysol multi surface cleaner/disinfectant. I only had to go to 8 different walmarts in five different states before I could find a bottle of it.

 

All.it takes during a warm shower is to breathe in those droplets that landed somehwere. These jokers get in those showers , blow snot, and hack their guts out. Not taking any chances right now

 

Make more money from unemployment so why would they want to risk their life?
