Where do you shower?

I almost always have unlimited showers on my fuel card, Gladly give them away to someone who needs them. And if she's cute I may volunteer to assist,( Joking ). I frequently will throw a sandwich to a new driver, I remember it being tough at first.

 

I understand I was otr for a year , not judging just if I had a credit I found a way to take a shower.. it only took 20 mins out of my day. I’d find a pilot order the shower In the parking lot have a code before I hit the hallway.

 

You brought up a very important point that bears repeating. Yes, in general, OTR trucking you are going to come across situations from time to time when it is not possible to shower at the end of the day. Many times during my driving career I would have a fuel stop in the AM and would park and shower after fueling. In fact, sometimes I planned my breakfast around this stop.

I try to not be so judgemental when it comes to things like personal hygiene, however, there is NO EXCUSE for an OTR driver to reek of BO.

 

If I have stopped somewhere other than a truck stop, and there was a cheap hotel nearby, I d pay $20-$25 to get a room, and take a shower there. Good hot water, and much more cleaner than a truck stop shower.

Some customers have showers for drivers as well

 

It's 1000 gallons at either. At Love's you get 3pts per gallon at Platinum and 4pts at Diamond status. Both offer unlimited showers and refills. Pilot is 1000 for shower power. There's a stop in SD I-90 at MM61 that requires a credit, they will honor your points but not shower power.

 

As I’ve gotten older (I’m 61), I’ve found that I really don’t need to take a shower every day unless I’ve been sweating a lot or doing work that gets me dirty (not often doing mostly drop and hooks). I use hand cleaner, and I use wipes to clean my face every night. I’ve also found that hand sanitizer does a great job of eliminating arm pit odor, and extra strength Gold Bond powder there and in the privates keeps me feeling fresh.

I do take a shower in the middle of the week, though.

 

My BO smells like a bouquet of daisies!

 

Love's must have lowered their requirement then. Because I know for a fact it was 1500 gallons a month back in 2019. Better for us if they did!

 

Why are you starting food fights with poor rookie drivers?
