Great stuff.!!
49. no worry, the Spanish ones have no idea what "All'ah Ho ACcbar" is. not even when it is shouted @ them with a heavy Mediterranean accent...if it's not a drugs, they won't care.
same goes to the Callif. Agriculture check point, they don't care if you bring an enriched plutonium into the state, if it's not fruit or grow on the ground, they'll wave you in.

Phil I wish you would have left number 10 tip out:

10. When outfitting your truck with "dinnerware," go to Wendy's. Their plastic silverware is individually wrapped and more durable than most.

Another reason why costs go up is people helping themselves to something that has not been paid for. Buy plastic silverware and if we cannot afford plastic silverware we have another problem.

Good list of information though enjoyed it.

I guess I was assuming the best of expediters, not the worst.

I did not say take silverware without paying for it. I assumed the best, thinking expediters would have the good sense and good manners to dine at Wendy's and then take their plastic utensiles with them.

Thanks for the feedback. I can see now number 10 can be taken in different ways. If I had it to do over again I'd either leave it out or say:

10: When outfiting your truck with "dinnerware," eat at Wendy's and save the knives, forks and spoons you use there. It is individually wrapped so you know it's clean to start with and it lasts longer than what other fast-food places provide.

What are some of the things you use white vinegar for?

cut it to 50/50 mix with water in a spray for bathing( just for a quick cleansing on arms and face, all over that u can reach and it evaporates quickly, deorderizes really well and all hard to reach areas,lol.)

cleans window, seats, oil off your hands, on my hands i used full strenth, and i rinsed out mugs, cleaned forks and stuff, headlites, poured it on my plywood floor when it got stinky. see vinegar.com pour a cup in your washer when washing and in the rinse cycle, gets out some yucky odors too.

For upset stomach or acid reflux , cut it 50/50.
