    Hey guys, I am almost fresh out of CDL school so here is a total newbie question for you. If I am out on the road and am acquiring bonus points at various truck stops (Pilot, Loves, ect) from fuel ups, when I get a free shower, is my wife able to use the shower during this time or would I have to pay extra for her every time she showers? She would just be in the truck for the ride, not working. Thanks

    Why just not shower together? Or one showers and the other one after the other is done? Just makes sense to do it like that.

    I am not sure about others, but I always shower at Pilots. When you use your card, the machine asks if you have a co driver, which needs a shower. Click yes and you get a free shower for your wife

    Most places will give you two separate showers if you ask.
    ThePilot/Flying J (PFJ) kiosk will ask, with TA/Petro you get one ticket from the kiosk and then take it to the clerk for a "team" shower or just skip the kiosk and ask the clerk from tha start. I'm not sure what Loves is doing, All they want is your money. Wilco/Speedway has team showers i think... :)

    Love's we get two showers because they are so small. Pilot and Petro/TA just go to the fuel desk and ask for team shower. Pilot go to desk first they do it at the desk. AT TA/Petro print ticket at Kiosk then go to cashier for team shower coupon. But if you are paying for shower for team expect to pay for two showers.

    Hubby and I shower together. You can ask for extra towels one for her and one for her hair.

    Sorry for the confusion guys, I was asking if it was ok for my wife to share the shower with me or if they were strict on one shower credit per person per shower.
