Guys,
I imagine there are hit/miss instances, but has anyone had a long drought where not being able to stop and re-supply, or stop for food and other on the road needs; is it more common than not?
Or,
For most part, is it easy enough find or take periods of downtime for this type of thing while on the road; re-supplying or refreshing the truck something that's just done at the an oppertunistic level?
Thanks for input!
sorry so wordy.

Well I am no longer there but I just spent the last 6 months there and took a total of 15 days off inthat time, you will ha e plenty of time to run to the store and resupply the truck, I would suggest that if you can locate a Wal Mart that you just take your 10 there and do it all at once, you silll for the most part have a few hours between to ruhave to eqtns to go grab a bit because as large as a variety the TS has to eat it still gets old, I had plenty of time when on the road, if you know how to work your log book, now I am on elogs and though I can't work them as well I still am adjusting to them. I didn't leave because they were a bad company I left for a better opportunity, take care be safe. TD24

You're just excited, I think we can ALL relate to that, I know I can...I still remember the first trip by myself, talk about exciting...It was just as when I solo'd a plane for the first time, I was asking myself, "they really are going to let me do this, holy schit!" hehe
2021DREAM Thanks this. -
Yep, have alot to think about for next 9-years or so to jump off 21+ years with the state out here..............alot of life to successfully "dismantle" so to speak and build a new life elsewhere. Strateg-erization-ating (new word) it all out.............
Lol, keep on truckin'!

Yeah what he said? 9 years before you get out here? We may be all flying helicopters by that time, I actually hope to be sitting somewhere with sand in orifaces(sp) of my body and not driving a truck! We will see how the boys are working my money by that time.... be safe TD24

I solo'd a plane after only 10.4hrs of flying but can say I really think the truck was more stressful because there were others around...In the plane, I really only needed to worry about myself, not other knuckleheads in smaller ones! LOL I taught flying for 10yrs, now THAT was stressful! People are crazy!
the flying scotsman Thanks this.
