    I shower under the golden showers of the drivers window of a parked mega carrier if I’m lucky enough to catch them before the pour

    There a million reasons to plan your fuel stops. Having some desk jockey tell me I need to stop for 50 gallons when I’m trying to beat rush hour Chicago traffic ain’t going to work. What if I start my clock 100 feet from an empty fuel island but they will only allow me to fuel 7 miles down the road? You’ve never pulled into a Pilot at lunchtime and the fuel island is a complete cluster? Imagine needing 100 gallons for unlimited at loves and they tell you to sit at said cluster while theres a loves across the street. If you cant see that planning your fuel stops is tremendously helpful I dont know why I’m bothering.

    I'm confused. In every example you gave, the planned fuel stop was the worst option.
    Don't get me wrong. Fuel stops should be part of the trip planning, but trip planning should be very flexible.

    Davis Express our of Starke, FL, that’s who. They monitor you while you drive. If you stop more than they think you should, you’ll get a call asking if anything is wrong. They did that to me once. I didn’t give them a chance to do it again. Lol

    I trip plan very well thank you. I am not in a big hurry out here.....I have no reason to rush. My goal is 500 miles per day + -. I make a good living and I plan my fuel stops and where I am going to park for my 10 LONG BEFORE I start my Truck in the morning. Never mind......I don't know why I am bothering:rolleyes:

    I just hope all of you understand the importance of proper foot care. Personally, I sprung for the Paul Stanley Signature Foot Care Essentials Bucket.

    Comes with scrubber, foot soap, lotion, etc... Everything I need to keep the docking stations for my 10 piggies all healthy, fresh and ready for chasing Kentuckians.

    I have worn shower shoes for the 16 years I’ve been driving - probably have to count myself lucky

    As in -- stop more frequently than they think you should, or stop for longer periods than they think you should? Or both?? And which breaks?

    Considering how fond KISS is of marketing I wouldn't be surprised if there really is a Paul Stanley Signature Foot Care Essentials Bucket.
