    I keep 12 of the jugs on my upper bunk, 1 on the floor for use. I use a pump as well, just fill 1 liter bottles to drink from during the day.

    Having so much on hand has also saved me from needing a tow numerous times when I lost a coolant hose. Blow a 3" hose in the middle of nowhere in UT, tape up the hose well enough to hold so you can drive, replace the +6 gals of lost coolant with water, drive to a shop for a new hose, install, add regular coolant again.

    Exactly. Back in 2007 I weighed over 300lb since I lived of soda (over a case a day) and junk food. Went on a diet. Replaced junk food with protien and started only drinking water. Combined with the physical activity of working on a dock I lost over 75lb in under a year. My energy level skyrocketed to the point of hardly needing food or sleep on the days I didn't work and weightloss slowed but continued.

    Fast forward to 2015 when I got my CDL and I have stuck with that eating method. My food intake has averaged out since it's no longer a mix of high and no physical activity days but I've not gained any weight.

    It's Arizona, you're lucky to get anything out of there above $1.50.

    The guy who moves that will be at the round table telling all the others how he won’t haul for less than $100 PM
