You use profane language trying to figure out how to find the way out of an unfamiliar truckstop.

I still remember Lawrence's response to the same subject years ago: when you're waiting for food inside Burger King, and the Beep! of the fry machine sends you running out to check the QC. 
And Linder [Caffee] mentioned having more gadgets plugged into the dash than in the average kitchen....
But I can't remember what I said, lol.

You realize most people on here have no idea what you're talking about lol. Hated those QC pagers! Always beeped as the waitress sat my food down.
"Crap, I forgot to leave a callback number with dispatch!"

Wonder if your spouse weigh worth it's load opportunity.
marry a skinny, low maintenance - because they take less room in the truck.
choose a beverage base on the container opening.
consider a crowded shopping mall as a legit place to rest.
are NOT regulated, yet know every letter in the green regulation book .
slow down to be more productive.
think that driving into the sunset, can be very annoying.
can't find the shipper, despite having 5 navigation systems.
have a teddy bear strap to the jump seat, so you will have someone to talk with.

when things in a truckstop impress you.
like- a parking lot that doesn't smell like pee
well divided bathroom stalls
a great selection of beef jerky and energy drinks

...have named your GPS & assigned it a gender
...have an arguement with your co driver or spouse in public and say "We'll talk about this when we get home" meaning when you get back in the truck.
...refer to your cab/front seats as "the livingroom"

Don't change occupations, practice the Dirty Windshield Reaction Drill. Occasionally when I have traveled 200 or more miles without dirtying my windshield, I will pull over an fling a Healthy Choice Four Cheese Tortellini Dinner (with green beans) on my windshield. I get back on the road with windshield wipers going wild until I can't see anymore or I hit something. Then I pull over, get the Sprayway glass cleaner, paper towels and do the Dirty Windshield Reaction Drill Boogey.
