    Funny thing about that. You lose pedal at the lower speed, but in the event of a steer tire blowout you need the pedal.

    Yeah, kinda hard to find my zen when I'm getting the Ammonia Double Whammy from the DEF fill and the parking lot.

    Years ago, there was a guy from Houston, said he couldn't get home time.

    I've found by rotating the nozzle at those finicky pumps seems to help sometimes. You can also buy the magnet to slide over the nozzle, a local fuel stop had one you could borrow but of course it walked away and they didn't replace it.

    The magnet? Never heard of it. Does it work?

    Yes he did, I wonder if that is because he was dispatched out of Richmond so primarily ran the East coast. I know of another TX driver and we certainly have TX freight and pass through TX daily so I have to think its doable.
