    hurricane,wv Now that is a good shower at that TA. Talk about water pressure I thought I was taking a shower with a pressure washer. It was so hard I felt like I didn't even need soap or a rag that it had power washed the dirt off. That TA looks like a dive but the showers are amazing one of the best kept secrets out here.

    Maybe you just thought it was the shower. Maybe it was the bidet!:biggrin_2551:

    I'm over 6' tall. I don't want to hear it, shorty.
    Albeit, I'm used to having to squat down in the shower at home to wash my hair so it's nothing unusual for me.

    Although...I took a vacation last year to Orlando and stayed at a 5-star resort. Their shower was like 7' tall and the shower head was mounted on the ceiling of the shower. It was wonderful. :)

    Add another good T/A shower...Slidell, LA.

    Unloaded 390 tires yesterday morning, so shower credit or no, I was getting a shower. Ten bucks, and worth every penny.

    I also took a chance on the salad bar. Also a good deal...ingredients were fresh and appealing in addition to being well-stocked (I HATE an empty tomato canister or dressing bucket!).

    All-in-all, two thumbs up for TA Slidell!

    Here in Rawlins, the ranch bucket was empty. I took that as a sign to use the Italian dressing tonight. They also didn't even have tomatoes. They had broccoli though so I guess that was okay.

    Tomatos seem to be in short supply right now because of the cold weather in the last month or so...

    Petro 2 Salina Ks. has the nicest showers anywhere. Their platinum showers are awesome, they're huge. They have the shower head that comes straight out of the ceiling. Tv's are built into the mirrors, its crazy I tell ya LOL

    Have they redone Slidell? haven't been there in about a year--but then it was probably the last of the T/As to never do anything since the day they took the orange ball down. Would be nice to see that place cleaned up?

    Seems like all the TA's and Petros are really working hard for our business. Just wish they could beat the peelots fuel discounts to big trucking outfits.

    All the TA's I've had the pleasure to use, have installed the new shower heads that give plenty of water pressure and feels great. Trying to think of the new one in MN and am tired and mind has gone blank at the moment. Actually has heated floors in the shower rooms.
