    I have an air fryer. I make waygu fillet in it, wherever I am. If I am 1 hour away with 45 min left, I don't go in.

    I never start rolling without a plan for where I’m going to stop, with one or two alternatives just in case. I keep a list in my head of places where I can be reasonably sure of parking, places like rest areas, customers who allow it, Sam’s Clubs and Costcos that I’ve delivered to, and yes, in a few instances, interstate on ramps (I don’t park on off ramps, too many fools hit the ramp going fast). I have a lot of Pilot/Flying J points, so sometimes I’ll burn a few to reserve a spot if the truck stop is located close to where I want to be.

    I also bring food for the week, so I don’t need to worry about parking near fast food places. I have a small fridge and a toaster oven, and I prep meals at home on Sundays.

    Ive actually just started a Service Truck company and I was wondering if I added Food and supply delivery as something we do, would it be worth it?

    Food for sale, no but after I just waited 3+ hours for you to show up giving me a slice or two may make me like you a bit better.

    Lol yeah that’s one reason I’m starting it up. I use to work for loves and and I listened to you guys complain about everything wrong and I took note of it for about 2 years so those are definitely the things I’m gonna focus on more than anything.
