Shower question

Unfortunately we are held up here in NY for the week. We are hoping to get a load out of New Holland PA on Saturday.

Meanwhile, my cousin Dina has emailed me a question asking how much the showers cost.

Usually we do not pay for the showers, we have cards similar to your customer perk cards at your local grocery store from each of the major fuel stops. Usually you get free showers added to your card when you fuel up. They have automated machines in the truck stops where you swipe your card and it assigns you a shower number and a code to punch in to open the shower door and it usually gives an estimated wait time, if there is one.

We also get points on these cards by how many gallons you purchase, and these can be used towards food purchases, etc.

If we do end up showering someplace that we need to pay, it can be anywhere from $8-$10 dollars.

Some places make you leave a towel deposit too, but, you do get that back when you return the towels.

Thanks for your question, cuz!!!
