    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.

    The ACT in Hagerstown has a good hot counter and deli there.. The showers are clean.. Kinda lack a/c though... The fried chicken is great
    There's an Indian place Thai place Japanesse

    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 cant stand eating in the truck. Spend all day in it I'm ready to get out to eat.

    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.
