    LOL. My biggest fear is dropping my keys down a storm drain. I'm very anal about locking myself out. I carry a spare at all times and even so I still always roll my window down when I get out of the truck just in case my door shuts on me and by some chance I don't have my keys. Luckily the only time I ever locked myself out I was in a parking spot while on my break and not in the line to check in at the receiver like this poor guy where a ton of trucks come through

    I agree with you. When we were doing OTR, it felt goooooood to get out of the truck. lol

    This place is down the road from West Chicago. It was featured on a food show recently. Supposed to be good.
