Deleted them all-I suggest before someone makes a response they read what the Thread is-This one happened to be about SHOWERS On the Road.

[Back on the Road]

I tip my hat to Teal and Rev for the business they are in. I know as I was a bedbugger for eight years. I was lugging furniture with Mayflower at the age of 13, then on the road with TT license in hand at 18.

However, you could not pay me enough to go back to Bed bugging. Then again, these guys would think Flatbedding is a piece of cake. Thats what I am going to do. Watch out for the jelly rolls Teal & Rev, and have a good piano board,


(I do know there is cash in Bed bugging though... )

from being out on the road, TA truckstops are the dirtest places out of them all, I like petros and pilots and even the flying j but to the man before who mentioned scoggins in dubois idaho, yes on the little gas stations, what a cute little blonde that works there, her grand pappy owns the place and yup really nice people...good home cookin....just on a bad snowed covered road is all...smaller truck stops I have seen have 5 dollar showers and 10 dollar rooms uptairs and are far better and cleaner than those large truck stops.. laundry is 50 cents too

James "the Just," brother (or cousin) of our Lord, author of the biblical book of James, and first bishop of Jerusalem, ought to be a patron saint of truckers. For one thing, his symbol is a club (a 1st century tire-thumper). But here is the clincher:

(He) never shaved or anointed himself with ointment or bathed.

(from St. Jerome's biography of James )

When we had a church service for his feast day a couple weeks ago and the priest read that passage, I started giggling, because I was picturing some of the characters you see at truck stops. I couldn't keep a straight face for the rest of the service.

P.S. -- the person usually considered the patron of truck drivers is St. Christopher.
