    Aero devices

    Do you use any aero devices? If so, which ones? Did you get a good return on investment? If you bought a new truck, would you buy those aero devices again? Did the product deliver on the claims made by the manufacturer? I'm referring to things like trailer tail , airtabs , side skirts, mud...

    Real objective

    The guy that DRIVES his crown vic all over the lot, stopping at each truck asking for gas money, made me laugh the most. He was wearing more gold than a man asking for money should.

    Real objective

    I will try to help someone with a REAL need, but when it' s obviously a fabricated story, I send them on their way.

    In season

    If you get a chance to visit a farmer' s market, don't pass up the fresh strawberries. IMO, they are much better than the ones at the grocery store. They make great, healthy snack.

    For those travelling west on I-20 in Mississippi, the westbound weigh station @ the Louisiana border is sort of starting early. They are stopping a parking lot full of trucks at a time to check IFTA and cab cards Safe travels.

    The real reason for the 30 minute rest break

    Perhaps it is just a lack of janitorial services. The wait seems to be about the same in the evening. Could be that truck stops are putting MORE demands on FEWER personnel. In some cases, it is the personnel not fulfilling their duties in a timely fashion.
