    Hey flying J
    news flash.... we truckers spend a lot of money on fuel.
    Would like to figure out how you advertise FREE SHOWERS FOR 30 DAYS With 1000 plus Ltrs.
    However them you delete them after ten days... pointless to advertise it if you pull that.

    It's a thousand GALLONS,

    This is exactly why we need to get rid of the metric system.

    Also once you hit 1,000 gallons in the calendar month, the unlimited showers kick in for the FOLLOWING month. The normal showers and expirations policy work for the current month.

    Pssh, who's got time for details, guys? That's where the devil is; that's why I don't look!

    Self-righteous indignation tho? I've got time for that.

    Speaking of PFJ.

    Some of you need to get a handle on the shower status display. I realize it can be confusing for some but seriously it's not that difficult especially when you coordinate the audible messaging with the display.

    Me and another driver [from up near Boston based on the accent and attitude] just about got into a physical altercation this morning in Bethel because after we both waited and I tried to explain he was decoding the display incorrectly [and apparently he was incapable of hearing the audible messages] he was insistent "l was taking his shower". Somehow my door code worked on "his shower room"

    :biggrin_25523:

    Maybe by now he's figured out possibly I was right all along but I'm not terribly optimistic.

    It's useless lol.
    If you're getting 1,000 gallons a month, you will not have much use for the free showers.
    I never ran out of showers before this program.
    Just checked I am at 1723 gallons so far this month.

    1,000 gallons = 3,785.412 Liters.

    Dumbest thing I have ever heard.

    Ever thought maybe the 6 countries that don't use the metric system should switch instead.
    Of course not. That would actually make sense.

    I guess if we wanted to be "just like everybody else" that would make sense. But what American wants to live like a European or Asian? Maintaining the American measurement system is part of what makes it unique and special and why most of the world would prefer to live here if they could easily do so.

    @STexan nailed it, everyone is moving to America to get away from the Metric Ststem.
