Tired of high priced showers?!!

[BobWolf]

If you want a cheap shower I have annother option. Show up at a fire department pump training. Im sure they will hook you up dirt cheap.

One of the problems, as I see it, is no matter the company making the upgrades soon finds that no good deed goes unpunished,

It's not the cleaning crew that's trashing the showers .....

If I operated a system that offered showers, there would be a $20.00 deposit, to be returned after the shower had been inspected for damages after your visit.

I totally agree...might be a PIA having to have staff on hand all the time...too bad there is a REAL need to babysit supposed professional drivers...

We use Loves exclusively so that we can get 1,000 gallons for the month and then we have Platinum status. The following month you get free showers and free drink refills. Most of the Loves have upgraded showers. When we are going to end up somewhere that Loves is not, we wait to fuel there. 50 gallons and we have one free shower.

I think we save oodles of money this way. You must have washable cups to get refills. They don't like you using a paper cup.

I know this doesn't help vanners, but it is good for straight trucks.

Remember anyone standing on a pallet in a shower you accessed from the outside at the big and only truck stop on 17 in Savannah? circa 1977

Or the old SOC at Hardeville? The old stretch between Savannah and Brunswick. Those were the days. You can't be old enough to remember that. LOL! I guess you remember Sandys Restaurant and ??? Did have great home cook meals.

The TA UltraOne Expediter Card gives you a free shower if you purchase 50 gallons over a 5 day period.
That sounds pretty reasonable.
Diesel or gas.

Considering the alternative.....they could give us NOTHING at all.....

Truthfully the ta card is pretty lackluster for vans when compared to PJ.

Moot, if people are unhappy with present showers wonder what they would have done in the 60's and 70's.

A real knuckhead buddy was seated in a bathroom. Another friend was seated next to him. No dividers between the stalls.
A stranger walks in. My buddy Art, reaches over and starts rubbing the other driver's leg and sings to him.
The stranger looked like he saw a ghost, turned around and quickly left.

Kinda' reminds me of the Army latrines during the first year of sevice, zorry. I got acquainted with my First Sergeant far more than I ever wanted to! He was just as grumpy and miserable on the can, as off....

At least at my company latrine in Vietnam we had dividers. Probably a wise decision considering the number of weapons guys were staggering around with - and yet valued their privacy. The crapper would have been an awkward place to earn a Purple Heart.

If it's free, I'll take it! Otherwise I'd rather get a motel room than paying $12 for a shower. I think it's a great deal with the PJ reward card, all what you have to do is to pump 14 gallons and get a 1/2 shower... I always have at least 2-3 showers in my card since I always pump 14-16 gallons

U only need a shower Mondays and Fridays,,riding in a straight line with a death grip on a stearing wheel is far cry from sweat type job. LOL After all, its recreational driving as some in here I have said before me. Now if ur ride does not have AC, then thats another matter.......

The two Drivers I spoke of may have been in Nam together. The goofier of the two was there with another buddy of mine.

Not surprising. More than a few of us came home goofy.

In fact, after 43+ years, I still am!

 

[zorry]

Yea, thanks.

Older brother was there as a Seabee.

He was goofy before he went.

Yeah, maybe it was the kind of "happening" that attracted a lot of goofy individuals to begin with.

In my case I dropped out of graduate school with about a year to go for an M.P.A., knowing fully well my zorry a$$ was going to get snatched by the local draft board!

Several of my friends, classmates and family thought I had lost my mind, knowing I was more curious than patriotic. Looking back, that may have been closer to the truth than I suspected at the time...
