    Man that’s tough original poster. If I was anywhere near you, I’d buy you and bring you some food. Honestly, I can tell you firsthand. There’s some truckers out there that would help you out, you might have to bite your pride and just approach a few. Just show them that you’re just starting out, and some of them will be happy to help you out.

    I believe this post is a troll at best, and a scam at worst. First, he posts a pic of North Korea's Kim Jong Un wearing a MAGA hat, so you know he's trying to stir stuff up. Then a post about being unable to remove a cross-threaded cap when just a screwdriver and a medium-sized rock could get any cap off (hey, they are just 6061 aluminum...), then posting info to collect alms from us. Nah, the has all the stink of a con....

    Maybe you'd have better luck running a 3-card Monty game out in the truck parking lot? Make some $$ from washing driver's windows?

    He hasn't posted since the first page. But, as usual we just keep responding like the op still cares.

    If he didn't have cash to eat. He probably wouldn't qualify for a credit card.

    If he wanted to eat he would have not gone on the road with no money.

    Exactly!!!!!!

    I put almost every transaction on a credit card and pay the entire past due each month. I've never paid a penny in interest and the rewards cash offsets other bills.

    Can't imagine what he would do if the company left him stranded
