Does anyone know a good place to park in Del Rio TX. Are there any Pilot or J's?

There's a Walmart there. There's a small Stripes truck stop there, too. No PilotFlyingJ. I usually go to the Walmart.

Petro is good. I like them, just can't get a free shower because I buy gas, not diesel.

If you identify yourself as an expeditor to a straight truck guy they will probably give you a shower.
I often have 5 or 6 on my card.
I won't give them to a homeless guy or crackhead that may do something stupid in there. I will help a guy that's out working.
I do not like the way the showers expire. I paid for them. They should not expire.

That's a good idea to ask another driver. I have had success in the past by showing my card and explaining that I buy gas and don't get points or showers. Usually if your pleasant to them, they will give you a shower credit. May not matter, another driver says there isn't a Petro in Del Rio. Guess I'll find out.

The only time when I was there, I sat@ HEB. Didn't like those tiny so-called truck stops... anyway, Del Rio is not a good place to wait for a load.

Nice senoritas are everywhere by the Mexican border. I guess Laredo tops 'em.... ;)
