Joe (dispatch) wanted me to move closer to Chicago...sure no problem..no snow in Walcott...go 5 miles hit a wall of snow...stopped at the J...went a whole 9 miles...lol
It all sounds great and I agree with Ken, most of us carry towels. Don't think you should absorb the expense because they will disappear.
The two things I would suggest concerns the floor. I assume it will be tile. Given it's winter, sloppy, etc. Maybe something to wipe boots, shoes on before you go into the shower room. Then a disposable mat to stand on after you get out of the shower to keep the floor dry. I imagine everyone has shower shoes, and they hold water. The person following you finds a wet floor to contend with. Up to now, I've been standing on my dirty t-shirts.
An available mop wouldn't be a bad idea either if the majority are courteous enough to use it.

Let's talk about placement of the toilet paper dispenser.
Why does it seem, that most contractors feel the need to mount them a foot from the floor? So when you need to use the dispenser, youre head and face is like eye-level with the toilet...I never could figure that one out..
As far as the towels go, that is so thoughtful, but after all that you are doing,I'm sure we could use our own.I carry 4 for use at the Ohio turnpike rest areas.They are free, and really quite nice, but the floor is real slippery if not covered by a towel.
Then there's the toilet itself-Why do so many places get the kiddie height toilets? As people get older, and larger,it is much more difficult to get up from one of those news-paper reading devices...Please, no padded seat, as they only tend to stick to a persons butt upon getting up..lol.
John, thank you so much for taking our needs into consideration, not only for this, but for everything.
Going back to sleep now.

Americans with disabilities act or ADA is why you see that stuff. That is why the drinking fountains are 18 inches off the ground as well.
Yes, the floor, shower, walls, everything is tile. I have not seen the disposable mats that you are talking about. Let me know if you have any more details or if you by chance have a link online?
Found a couple of links for mats. I won't include the link for disposable nose pickers made by Fred. I was happily ignorant of such a product up to this point.
You might also check with Pilot. They include one with every shower, but they are not very absorbent.

Good that you got loaded out of iowa!! But to be honest, you know i have made more then a few trips over there in the last few months and I have had good luck getting loaded out of there...There are a few customers in the davenport area that run down to burlington to Case....but goin to Tulsa is a nice run!!
As for the shower, if everything that is listed within the ADA (i know about that from when we remodeled the restroom at the auto garage I managed) the palce will be top notch...but then again, it will be in the Load 1 building where everything else and those that work there are also top notch...
It really is a good feeling working along side a great company and people..thanks John....

Company towels would be nice. Also, like it was said earlier, if we had some sort of spray down 'stuff' to clean up before and afterwards for the shower and sink that would help keep things clean - come one we need to give 'DAD' a break.....
Speaking of break......any plans to find room down the road for a 'small' driver lounge where when we are in the yard all day or nite we don't have to sit in our trucks?
Just asking. I'll provide the TV

methinks you're assuming that none of the women will ever get their hands on the remote?

The remotes will only activate when used by those wearing the official Load 1 decoder ring with microchip technology.
These rings were obtained after an exhaustive search of Cracker Jack boxes. They were specially modified at the cost of millions of "dollas", and will be auctioned off at the dedication ceremony of the Load 1 Driver Resort/Spa.
See John for preferred access tickets to the auction. Proceeds from the ticket sales and auction will go towards the construction costs of the swimming pool next to the wash bay.
Good luck to all Bidders!!!!!!!
