    No way I would be on those roads in that heavy of traffic... But it's not the roads that would stop me, it's all the idiots.

    Monday morning I was busting drifts 3 foot deep and 20 to 50 feet across with the big truck, barefoot, just to get out to the big road.

    Old industrial battery rule. Weigh them..

    Lead weighs the same, world over.
    Sulphuric acid weighs the same, world over.
    Steel in housing case of similar spec batteries weighs the same.
    Two battery's, the heavier has more lead and acid...
    The stuff that makes electricity

    If you are on a reset, best idle the truck before it wont start... Near on stuck myself once before it got cool.

    Definitely better.

    But if a person was just wanting a small little truck stop, 3 acres should do. Probably want double that for a medium sized truck stop, and double that again for a large one.

    It hurts, and also boring with a broken arm, so no thanks.
