I know I am very spoiled but I do not fuel. Bob talked me into trying that process once and it was a dismal failure. I swiped the card, put in all them numbers, put on the gloves, put the nozzle in the drivers side tank, turned and promptly ran into the mirrors and almost knocked my head...

How does everyone handle finding a place to use the restroom at night? We split our driving shifts in the middle of the night and I sure try to wait as long as possible for daylight. Sometimes I stop at rest areas and I usually pull into the car side and try to get close to the rest rooms and...

Has anybody tried to recoup the fuel tax on the fuel burned by a generator?

We are considering adding a small fuel tank just to run out generator. We could then fuel with the off road fuel in the small tank. Has anybody got any ideas on this?

We are sitting in Temple GA waiting for a load and where lucky enough to park next to Bigdog and his wife. What a nice couple with a very nice looking truck. We also hope we are around next time they have a slight miscalculation on who's turn it is to keep track of their keys!

We have a electric rice cooker in our truck and have found that it is also great as a spaghetti cooker. The eclectic rice cooker heats the water a lot faster then a microwave does. We have found our rice cooker will have just as many uses as the crock pot. Now we need something for our garlic...
