    When I was working as a line driver on an extra board I'd spend 50 bucks a day when I was out more then 2 nights, that's just because a day cab doesn't leave a lot of space, if I was only out 1 or 2 nights I'd spend about 20 dollars.

    I agree, but you can still eat cheaply.
    What I do is order the buffet then after pigging out on the buffet, leave a 20% tip on the table for the waitress. Pretend I go to the restroom and skip out on the bill.
     
    truckon, lots of character and mrdot Thank this.
