    How many points have you accumulated (unspent as of today), are they posted to your receipts, and what type of driving do you do? I am writing a novella with a central character works at a large truck stop and one situation she encounters is a day when the system “clears” several truckers points by accident. It’s eventually resolved but in that moment, I imagine everyone trying to explain they have points that should be covering their scales, showers, and food.

    Kindly assist!

    One time I went to a Loves and fueled up about 65 gallons in order to get a free shower that night. My card was so worn out and old that it did not register on the pump.

    When I went inside to the counter the woman there said I did not have any shower credits but she gave me one off of a card she had at the store.

    Sorry no interesting drama for your book there.

    I had about $600 on mine.. but kept buying my wife sweatshirts from every state that I went into on the west coast (she stays cold), and I bought a new GPS/dash cam... a bunch of LED warning strobes for night breakdowns.
    That took it to near $0.

    Back up to $300 now.
    I save it til I WANT something.

    I don't use it for McDonalds and LittleDebbie/MONSTER binges.

    I'd like to see the mangle job JCare would do with a OneBox when they struggle to plug a tire.
