Buying coffee for answers

I think most are approachable...The lounge, if the TS has one, or at the pump, pending how many questions you have is not a bad idea...Just not in the bathroom

I'm sure you can ask all the questions you have right here and get more answers...

 

u can ask anyone questions,thats how we all learnt,just don t act strange,be honest,u arn t sure,better to ask,for example how to read ur weigh ticket,than for a weigh station to tell u that u are not legal,easier fixed at the truck stop,with help. and sharing route ideas can help alot

 

Do not bug me while I am at the pump. Trucks coming and going, setting and releasing brakes. Refers starting and stopping. I don't want to hold a long conversation while fueling and the dude behind me won't want me to either.

I would think most drivers sitting at the counter in the restaurant are the best option, if they didn't want to chat they could have sat at a table all to themselves. I think they are looking for a little bit of face to face chat time while they have their meal.

I could be wrong though. I'm just say'n

 

I usually don't have a lot of time when I'm at a truck stop,but ask me,I'll help you as much as time permits.

 

Just ask straightforward. If you're lurking around, eyeballing other drivers in a nervous fashion, that's probably not going to work out too well for you. A simple, "Hi, how's it going? Could I have a minute of your time to ask a question?" will suffice.

 

just go in get a cup of coffee at the counter most any driver will be more than happy to help you out while they eat and have a cup

 

I don't see any post telling you to go to a truck stop??

Just read and ask here.

I'll say hi to you in a truck stop and talk to you. You offer me coffee, I'll think you're up to something.

 

if you have twitter and you get in a jam and need a quick reply hit me up and i will try to help you out my twitters go to my phone my user name is ufovalk on twitter i have been otr for over 22 years and still learning so dont be shy about askimg questions 99% of the drivers will be more than happy to help you out

 

Oh, yeah... I should add, don't be discouraged if you happen across a driver who acts like an ### to you. It'll happen from time to time. It doesn't mean every driver will be that way. If you run across one, brush it off, and move along.
