    Yep. I'm pretty good at dodging storms. At my last company another driver and I were unknowingly on the same route. I was about 10 minutes behind him and he ended up shattering his windshield in baseball sized hail. The next day He asked me why mine was fine. I said I wasn't stupid enough to drive into a storm like that. I parked and watched the radar for an opening between supercells.

    I eat my own food and have unlimited showers so I don't have to worry if I can get fuel or not on my fuel card to get a shower lol. Indian sounds good though.

    Did two more loads of those sceptic tanks to Little Saskatchewan, MB one Tuesday/Wednesday.

    Today, I sat around for three hours this morning at a shipper because they didn't have their stuff together and didn't realize that this order I was picking up was for a Super-B, not a tandem straight trailer (double the weight/FBM). All to essentially drive it back to my yard (customer is just down the street from us). Glad I'm paid by the hour. I feel bad for the OTR guys who deal with them.

    However, had a much more interesting afternoon:

    Grain vacs heading to Ohio. Figuring out how to secure new equipment is always time-consuming but I love it. And next time will be so fast.

    Before the fridge it was nothing but chili and soup. Got old real fast. Now the wife makes me about 6 meals and I get some chili and other refrigerator food to mix in. It's been a lot cheaper too.

    I'm the opposite, I'd rather eat in the comforts of my truck. The only exception are the new Stripes. I actually enjoy sitting at a table with condiments with news in the background and they are clean.
