TA just raised shower prices really?

I take a shower once a week even if I do not need it.

 

I pumped my 60 gallons just
To get a shower credit.

A week later I tried to use and it said I
Didn't have any.
I know it's good for 10 days.

I didn't bother asking anybody about it.
I figured they raised the price or minimum
Gallons again.

They can't go out of business fast enough as
Far as I'm concerned.
Just keep sticking them them up on every
Corner loves.
I'm behind you 100 percent.

 

Unfortunately they went back to showers expiring in 7 days, for some gears?. Also you can only get one shower every 24 hours for 60 gallons. The only reason I stay with them is the great fuel discount.

 

Didn't know about the 7 days again.
That's probably what it was.

 

I can sort of understand this. Really? someone expects to get 60 gallons today in Reno, then fuel at Loves and PFJs for 10 days, then go to the Carlisle Petro 10 days later and expect a free shower?

 

I keep expecting Cali located TA’s to put a gate up at the fuel entrance any day. $5 if you want to get in line to fuel. $10 if your not buying fuel. Even more if you’re taking a break.

 

Qualifications for most truckers out there is they should Have to take a shower in order to buy fuel.

 

Explain the problem. I fuel everyday at TA/Petro when I stop for the day. I usually get between 500-600 miles per day average and will fill 70-90 gal. on average. I shower everyday and eat in their sit down restaurants and I always have received a free shower and free parking. Is there something I'm missing here?

 

Lots of guys are on a “optimized fuel regiment” and are more or less directed where to fuel and these may be spread across all of the big 3 with an emphasis on one. So in some situations, they can be without shower credits at a particular convenient location.

We’re strictly limited to one chain and this eliminates a lot of frustration and insures we always have credits available where we will always be for fuel.
