    This might be a stupid question but I'm packing to head to my orientation tomorrow morning, and I was thinking on weather or not I need to pack a towel for showers. Do the truck stops give you a towel or not? Just don't want to pack something I won't need as I know there is going to be limited room in the trainers truck.

    don't tiptoe, that'll get you thrown in jail:biggrin_25523:


    Seriously it's up to you as to whether or not you take towels. The towels at truckstops will vary in cleanliness (as will the shower itself).

    I'm pretty sure truck stops have towels. Lol They used to back when I was a real truck driver.

    Truck stops have towels wash rags and soap.But tlhere may be times you'll have to take a shower at the termianal and not all termials carry towels.So I would bring one just to be on the safe side.Towels take up little room unless you have a beach towel,lol.So bring the towel and leave something else at home.

    truck stops have towels but i would bring one anyways in case you shower at the terminal (no towels) and bring your own soap and shampoo, dont forget shower shoes or flip flops or you will get fungus
