    Do you have hours coming around at night?

    Maybe it sold diesel fuel, but there was no way any other than a bobtail could get in there. I don't have the walmart option on mine. Did you pay for the app?. I am using the free version as I understand the paid version is for access to load boards.

    I found an app put out by an RV organization that lists walmarts with truck parking, but not willing to buy it in case it won't work for big trucks.

    Not tonight. I started with a fresh 70 last Saturday morning. I will get some back for Sunday, but by then I will be almost done with a reset so may as well do one.

    i have the free app too... When you tap that little upside down raindrop looking icon it doesn't list Walmarts after all the different Truck Stop options? On mine (Apple) it appears right between Truck Washes and Scales.
     
    Redtwin Thanks this.

    And, if you don't want the smaller chains (wilco-Hess) or mom n pops Truck Stops to appear, just deselect the top "Truck Stops" option... If I'm just looking for fuel, I only select the Pilot/Flying J option and it shows me only those.... No Petro... No TA, etc.

    But you still have 13 hours left on the 70 and then hours coming back Saturday night right?

    Always a few options as to how to run your clock... I guess I just prefer a few light driving days as my clock comes around to sitting in the same TS for 34 hours straight.

    But, having a full fresh 70 is good too... :)

    I don't recommend Apple products at all. Personal preference. Can't stand them. I'm looking at a new Galaxy S7. Droid just work better. I have the app on this tablet, but am still working on my trip planning.
     
    MidWest_MacDaddy and Rocknroller4 Thank this.

    I did some research on that sort of thing. Maybe a tablet with the apps others have recommended. I heard GPS' are expensive and not always accurate anyway. Just my opinion. I haven't even started trucking so I'm not really one to talk lol.
