Proper or best way to ask truckers to buy there free shower.

Greetings and thanks for reading.

I am currently homeless I have a job I will be hopefully starting soon and obviously I will need to be clean when I show up to work everyday as I will be in a position it wouldn't be good to be dirty. There is a Petro truck stop near here and I payed for the shower but I couldn't afford to do that everyday.

Long story short I have seen it mentioned a lot of truckers don't use there free shower or have extra tickets and so on. I have a cb in my vehicle and want to know how I should go about asking to purchase at a discounted rate shower tickets once a day as well as what's a fair price? Anything else I should know about asking Truckers or how to not inconvenience the Truckers or Truck Stop by doing this every day? I appreciate any responses and thank you again.

 

Its actually a security guard job as I was once a supervisor in a security related position. I won't go into more detail about my position as nobody like a pity party and I do my best to stay upbeat and be a good person to everyone I meet. It won't be for long about 2 weeks as my friend of a friend has a room I will be able to rent then of my job comes through (the background takes 3 days to 7 days).


I wonder if its right to ask for free tickets though. I guess just get on the CB and say I was wondering if anyone had a spare shower ticket for the Petro showers? i don't want truckers to think I'm a leech and would be more than willing to pay 5 bucks a day or something to be clean as of helps keep me in a good mood and the privacy is nice when your sleeping in your car every night.

edit: thank you patty for the kind words

 

Thank you much appreciated. I drove over there last might but since it was so busy with a wait on the shower I decided to wait until morning. This morning once waking up I got on the CB and asked of anyone had a spare shower ticket they wanted to sell. Took about 1 or 2 minutes and someone came back and said were was I at
I explained I was a four wheeler (I believer what regular drivers are called) and I meet him at the entrance to the shop. He got me a ticket and refused my 5 bucks he said he was just here for coffee and gas. I asked if I could at least buy his coffee and he said sure. So I was happy to be able to pay back his kindness in a small way. Thanks all for your help! I feel a bit awkward trying to get on the CB as you guys use so much lingo but its nice to listen and the kindness I have been shown is a great reminder of what makes humans so special on this planet. Maybe the best way I can pay back truckers is to promote understanding of the hard work you men and women do as well as safe driving around your heavy vehicles. Thanks for all the replies.

 

I think that's humans in general really just as with apples as they say a few bad apples ruins tons the bunch. After my shower I chatted with some truckers outside. Just that morning one had let a lady left by her ex with nothing but the clothes on her back use his phone to call family and get a way home. He felt bad because when during the night she had knocked on his door he thought she knocked for another reason and had turned her away. But I never thought truckers were bad people I had family members who were truckers when I was young so maybe I'm in the minority of the general public? Thanks again for everyone kindness when it's all said and done I think I might have to make a web page to thank the truckers who have helped me and shared my story so more understand how many of you are great people just like everyone else.
