    The Dinner Belle in Missouri has 20% of your ticket when you show your CDL, and 50% off if you buy more than 50 gallons of diesel.

    My company offers a 19% discount to verizon wireless users. Some of the big tycoon companies like Werner and Schneider offer discounts on hotels or vacation packages, heck even a brand new Chevrolet can be $1000 or more cheaper if you work for the right company.

    In order to get that corporate discount at Verizon, you have to sign a document allowing the company access to your phone records...or at least you used to. Read the fine print before you sign away your right to privacy.

    I know there is a lot of hate for Denny's but I like their breakfast. Stopped at one the other day and the cashier must have thought I looked like a truck driver and asked. I got a 10% off card good at all Denny's. There are actually quite a few discounts available if you ask. If someone wants to give me a discount I'll sure take it, every penny counts!

    No.

    Maybe once a year the waitress will discover your birthday as you order up a meal. On the house and joy. It's not too common.

    The biggest freebie I think came from the Petro. They sold 12 volt frying pan for example and we used it several times per 24 hours as a team while rolling. Invariably they burn up and we turned it in exchanged for a new one free. Petro was at least good about it, thinking we went through about 7 pans that year.

    The dutch ovens that close and form like a half gallon of cooking this and that all day were far more successful.

    Free parking, already feel better when I dont have to pay someone to park my truck at truck stop. Thats considering we bring them everything from food to paper to wipe their behinds with.
