    Those mini cans of Starbucks Doubleshot "Espresso & Crème" flavor. The Cubano flavor is NASTY. Usually drink two a day. Those Dunkin Donut cold coffee drinks are alright, the original flavor only.

    Seriously truck stops STOP buying those Cuban flavor double shot drinks... they are NASTY and no one drinks them. There's a reason its always full and never gets bought. I would buy anything else before drinking that abomination of disgusting liquid

    each night, i get a large iced tea. i sip that along my route. when at the end of my route, and on the return drive, i have water. i try to stay away from caffeine, cuz i try to sleep during the day.

    That's the best time to sleep. That way you get night driving and the road to yourself. I'm not sure how Boston is overnight, but will assume its better than during the day. I know some cities just don't sleep. Austin is almost an overnight city.. almost.

    Boston is actually GREAT at night...until they pull a sudden, "pop up" construction zone, with NO WARNINGS, and with a 53 footer, i gots no place to turn around or detour...!!

    so what usually happens is, that the cops stop the workers so i can get by. lucky for me, i have a way out of my delivery points, but only ONE WAY INTO them.....if they are working on my exit street of a delivery and if a detour is on my exit, i have choices......

    there is NO WAY to enter my delivery points (from an exit street) as those dastardly telephone poles, fire hydrants, are planted in my way. so only ONE WAY IN.

    Right! I know a little about that. Some locations I have to go to there is only one way in and they don't tell me where it is! Go into a tight area, wiggle my way through, finally get to the back and the dock is angled the other way. Sometimes Google Satellite view helps, but not always, and you can't see construction. I'm amazed I haven't hit anything.

    One place I have to sometimes go to has a fire hydrant right in the middle of the alley I drive through. Literally like right in the middle of the road. Only way in. And if there is a car parked off to the left side against the fence, which there was last time I was there, I'm not getting through.

    I haven't run over any construction cones that I know of, but had codrivers that did it. Makes me wonder, can you get in any trouble for running those over? Went out with a new guy for a week and he ate like 4 of them trying to make a right hand turn. lol. He was still learning, I didn't say much.
