    Having a beer

    Speaking of preaching.... Oh, good grief. There are? Really? Keeping in mind that "no, never" means "never ever under any circumstances," name one motor carrier law that says NO, NEVER. You can't. If you are going to dole out advice with the absolute confidence and authority of upper-case...

    Having a beer

    I don't drink alcohol, ever, so I could care less. But I do know that if you are out here on the road and are Out-of-Service and want to have a dog and a beer at a ballgame or a glass of wine with dinner, there's nothing wrong with that. It doesn't violate the letter or the spirit of the law...

    vanners: what's your fav truck stop?

    Since this thread is about favorite truck stops and loyalty programs, my recommendation would be to start a new thread with the topic of "Non-truck Stop Fueling Locations for Vanners" or something like that.

    Having a beer

    The short answers to your questions are YES, YES, and YES. But you need to be very aware and clear of the long answers. While the FMCSA rules and regulations do not apply to van drivers (unless your van is, at the time, a CMV, meaning placarded for HAZMAT), many of the carrier's policies...

    China and cost of goods

    Yeah, it's called "Chinese Food". Wow, Mandarin oranges from Mandarin China, you know, from where they were invented and where the vast majority of the planet's Mandarin oranges are grown. Shocked? China accounts for 54% of the world's Mandarin orange (and tangerine and clementine) production...

    vanners: what's your fav truck stop?

    Never had any problem getting a second towel at a Pilot. Just ask, and a second towel will be cheerfully provided, at least that's been my experience. I used to prefer the J, but now they're just a Pilot with lipstick. Never been a big fan of Pilots, 'cause they're whole attitude is "get fuel...
