    So you are saying you made coffee. Isn't that just burned water. The next time you go to Wally World check out the ready to eat meals from Hormel. They just need to be heated up and are not half bad. I guess you would have to dump the contents into a pan to heat instead of nuking it.

    I spent about $50.00 a week and eat three meals a day in the truck plus some snacks and all my drinks. Only once in a blue moon I get something in the truck stop.

    Did you switch to produce?:biggrin_25523: That is all I do on my back hauls. I break my neck to get from one place to the next just so I can sit for hours to get a couple palletes.

    after waiting all day to get loaded. left at 6 oregon time. rolled through the oregon scale to which i knew would be closed. i knew my drives would be 33. but since we don't haul the same trailer. i'm not familiar with the trailer scale. so i was surprised to see my SUPPOSED 48k load actually weight 66K. trailer came in at 56K. and 52 is max legal. so i gots to drive around idaho. to the yard to lose some weight before rolling through utah scale and making delivery in salt lake.

    should have known that's why they waited till end of day. happened to me once before last year.

    and the company said i shoulda waited OVERNIGHT to lighten up. ummm, sorry, but i need to make some money and sitting 2 days in oregon was bad enough. BESIDES, you don't pay me to tarp. i sure as heck ain't untarping to lose weight and retarping.

    on another note. the company is downsizing. leases are up. trucks are going back with no replacements. and since my plate expired and i'm running on a temp registration. i'm guessing my truck is one to go back with no replacement. i might be out of a truck end of june.
