Nice to read something positive

A little refresher, I forget that not everyone has been following my Days of our Lives soap opera.
My hubby has 30+ years of T/T, O/O, cross country under his belt. He had been watching this Expediting business for over a year. We decided a couple months ago, this is for us.
Very soon we will be , as Willy sings, "On The Road Again".
We made a trip in the family car a few weeks ago, driving into 4 states. He stopped at the worst and some of the best truck stops, to show me what I was getting into.
He told me of the night he showered with bugs that came up out of the drain at one.
So, yes, I have seen the best and some of the worst.

Now, for the $170 teeth cleaning (without xrays even)
We went up to Cedar Rapids to a regular dentist in town for him. $60 and he says it was the best cleaning he had ever had.
I'm still learning and this (plus I couldn't find a GPS for less than $250) taught me another lesson. Don't buy anything at a truck stop, unless you have to.
See you all soon, at one of the better truck stops.

As far as truck stops, it is just matter of whether one knows the good ones from the bad.
If they are bad, pick one that you like and works.
No need to complicate the simple.

While i have a frig full of vacuum sealed homemade food most often, I have a weak spot for good BBQ!! I can't past a BBQ place, sometimes i eat it 3-4 times a day! My GPS as their locations flagged in my Favorites!!

I got to do this.. LOL.

Why all the fuss about 100" sleepers and 16 foot boxes? IF your carrier can keep those busy, who cares? Not everyone needs a 30 ft box to keep busy.

Just sayin ....
