    Now that's living it up! :)

    I used to go to Little Ceasars. Get a $5 pizza. Dressed in work clothes. Yellow vest. Bib overalls. Coat. ... I'd tell them that this is my idea of dressing up and going out to dinner. :)

    Why are you abusing the equipment?

    It's a POS. Rusted, small holes in the deck. The slide axle doesn't. But it was better than the other step decks.

    Sounds like driver abuse.

    I had a marker lite on the back of one out once, in the communist state. So I stop at The TA in Coachella.

    One truck in front of me, needs a super single.

    Dude.

    Took them like 2 hours to change it. Not one dude even remotely has a clue.

    Then some dude fools around with the marker light for an hour.

    Then some other dude finally put it in.

    I tried putting in a fresh light. All the lights are spliced, no plugs. I cut it and used a spare marker light and a current tester to check for power, nothing. So I'm going to the shop. I have to be 300 miles away Monday morning. I agree that TA is pretty useless at times. Sometimes a good tech, sometimes a bad one. But it's trucking. And I'm not paying for it. Woot. But I don't want easy Csa points for my self or the company.

    If you have any problems in Bennett, a bit farther west (exit 295) is a another place, a shell fuel station, was/is the Tomahawk. It is a dump and mud pit most of the time. The megas tend to stay out of it.
    The thing is, you can almost always find parking. Not a lot of services here, the restaurant comes and goes, do have freezer foods in the C-store.

    The Tomahawk is south of Denver. Restaurant is always open and DELICIOUS. In fact it's all the way south of Fountain. The Hawk is an awesome place.
