    1/2 tank is 100gal in my prostar. Less 25 for reserve, and you've got 75 gal to go 375 miles (need to get at least 5 mpg & I'd count on getting at least 6).

    But if you are that worried, you could probably call the fuel dept and get 25gal authorized along the way.

    I hate the Aurora, CO Flying J -- Just get to sleep only to be woken up by the sound of the trailer next to me getting molested by an inattentive #######:




    Another guy chased down the would be hit & run driver before he left the parking lot. "I was just looking for a place to park" is what he claimed (despite passing 20 or so empty spaces along the way). Then he tried the "how about I give you $20 and we forget about this?" as the victim tried in vain to open the right door...

    I watched a CRST crimp the sleeper of a brand new Swift Freightliner Evo backing at about 10 mph. He pulled half the fuel assembly out when he finally stopped and pulled forward. I got out to see if Swifty was in the sleeper, lake of diesel stopped me from going to the driver door. I walked towards the CRST cab and he took off. Got his truck and trailer numbers then got back in my truck. Swift got back with his dinner, climbs in passenger side door and nearly has a cow. I flag him down, give him the trk and trailer info + my Sd card with my nanny cam showing his trk parked fine and CRST doing some heroic ultimate combat on his sleeper. The guy almost hugged me the whole time he was so freaked out. I kept trying to explain swift couldn't fire him, he was parked legally etc but it turned out he was buying the truck from Swift. Guy in the CRST rig was off his mind on something if I had to guess. Some guys just don't understand that we're all the same animals, just have different stripes.

    This was at the TA in Rockwall TX
