    Just aim for the middle and hang on. Also, those big chrome bars you see attached to the bumper work wonders when trying to get errant Civics out of our way. :biggrin_25510:

    Finally got a run. DH to Ga to Va. I'm at a little above 1/2 fuel. Not wanting to run out of fuel again, i motor over to the closest Pilot. Won't let me fuel.

    Load accepted and begun. NOT getting off to a good start.

    Try the next stop or a previous fuel number. Half tanks will get you to GA easy.

    The volvos are huge, I would recommend attaching a bell to the collars of your dog and goats (not going any further!!) so you don't lose them inside the truck.

    No thanks. The last time I let it get below 1/2 tank, I almost ran out of fuel.

    Ever thought that maybe you're not cut out for trucking?? I mean, you have more problems than a one legged man in a ### kicking contest. Dude, you got half a tank, roll with it and stop later on. That truck isn't gonna burn 1/2 tank fuel in 20 minutes.

    If you liked PTL or Ozark you could always go back to them and work.
