question about truck stops

Man,just let it go. I read through your initial post in a hurry, and I apologize if you re that frustrated over my posts

 

Because people have figured out that Buc-ee's is a total rip off.

 

Where are you starting from, and where is orientation? Let us know so we can give you some suggestions where the better truck stops are along the way.

One member had a good idea. You should start signing up for your rewards cards. You'll have a head start by the time you start training. Get your Pilot/FJ, Love's, TA/Petro, and Ambest. This will also depend on what company you are going to drive for, as they will have their preferred fuel stops.

Regarding driving your personal vehicle 1000 miles to orientation, I would only do that if I planned to leave the car at orientation permanently. Again, this will depend on the company you will drive for, but normally after orientation you are assigned a trainer and hit the road. Once you finish training you test out and get assigned a truck at whatever terminal you are at and start solo.

If your personal vehicle is now 1000 miles from home, then how are you planning to take home time? Or is your plan to clean out your first assigned truck after getting back to the orientation terminal, drive your personal vehicle back home, then get assigned another truck at your home terminal? Seems like a complicated way to go IMHO. Better to take a bus to orientation and leave the personal vehicle at home.

By the way, who is the company you will work for?

 

This post needs infinite 'thanks' on it.

 

Yeah the creepy gay dudes at rest stops are weird. They stand out front and pretend to be like stretching or something. Then when a truck pulls in they stare at it. Then when a Prime truck pulls in they just run over and hop in. It's really weird.

 

You stopped at the same rest area I did, in Massachusetts.... Ha
