    Why? What do I care how fast I go? I'm out here for money I drive by the numbers on my paycheck not the numbers on my speedometer. As long as the carrier pays me more per mile to compensate for the less miles I'm capable of running with my clock, which prime does. I'm good with that in fact I prefer that situation. At 58mph I don't have to worry about how I'm gonna pass all day I sit back nice and relaxed and cruise.

    Too many variables to determine if YOU can shower daily. First, can you afford $12 a shower times at least 4? I figure you may only fuel 3 times a week to get a free shower.That's $48 a week. You probably won't get free showers daily messing with ta/petro's current rewards program (read below). Loves got showers for you with their rewards program but will you fuel there? Do you have the time to wait on a shower at Loves being that their program is so popular?

    Whereever you fuel at the way to get a free shower everyday is to either pick a truck stop that meets your needs as far as rewards or top off fuel at least 50 gallons everyday.

    Showers are great, on the road if you can get one every other day then you're doing great. Sometimes you end up spending a great deal of time at shippers and receivers who have no showers.

    If you have to use wet wipes to get by. ( in a pinch)

    Anytime I see a driver try to get a shower and is unable to or I see one paying for one. I'm more then happy to get him a shower. Have so many on my #### card at any one time. Enough people out here who dont shower just out of choice. I wont stop a guy that actually wants one.
