    I had that problem with mine when it had 4 footers on it. I swapped them out for 2 footers and haven’t lost any since.

    Yeah that's the first thing your trainer should had have you done at each different truck stop. There is 3 main ones you want:

    1) Loves
    2) Pilot / Flying J
    3) TA

    Each of these have rewards cards and is as simple as going to the cashier and asking to sign up for one. This is how you get free showers and free stuff basically. You use it every time you fuel and you get points. You can then use them for showers or buy things in the store with them.

    I’ve only got a Pilot Flying J card that I use; how do you earn points other than fueling? I’ll pick up a Love’s if I ever stop by

    .

    When I came out of retirement in 2017 and ran all over the country for 14 months, I dug up an old Cobra 19, I think it was, but it quit after about a week. I contemplated on what to get....but then made the decision to run without one. It was nothing like in the days past and I decided that it was much easier to keep my mouth shut with all the unprofessionalism that I saw out there.

    Funny thing is, I enjoyed the solitude and never missed it. But, I rarely even listen to the radio. Quieter the better.

    I forget what I did with the shippers and receivers that required one to check in on a certain channel.
