    Planet fitness or Anytime fitness better for expediting?

    Dont quote me on that, thats just what someone told me. But even if it was more it would be worth it to have them closer to interstates. It kinda seems like planet fitness is winning this from the little bit of research ive done. Plus those massage beds sound very nice on my back after a 16...

So, I think as far as showers go I'm only going to use the gym, unless in a real pickle in which case ill just pay for it. Acutally, i went to pay for a shower at a pilot the other...

    Best truck stop shower rewards for a deisel sprinter?

    Thanks guys. I usually use gasbuddy.com for chespest gas when i already have shower credits. But that was gas, truck stops probably mark up diesel since 18 wheelers dont have better options vs what deisel would cost at a regualar gas station.

    Best truck stop shower rewards for a deisel sprinter?

    The last time i expedited i had to have everything set up for gasoline and im starting again this week in a diesel. Just wondering what is my best option for getting shower credits and other rewards for deisel, being that its a van and not a semi filling 100 gallons or more at a time?

    "comfort level" of straight truck vs van?

    This is a concern of mine. Its not going to be a problem 99% of the time but when i get those tight right turns in heavy traffic. I guess its just one of those things you have to do a few good times to understand. Are there ever turns (right mainly) that you ever encountered where swinging wide/...
