    Next thing you know, we`ll be hearing stories about trucker`s butts becoming fused with their seats like the ones in the news about the ultra-obese people becoming one with their couch after so many years of not moving off of it.

    I have never takin my rigs through a "legit" big truck drive through but I did take a log truck through the Mc Donalds drive through in Oak Ridge Oregon one time when I was 18. I got a lot of wierd looks but the girl who handed me my food thought it was the coolest thing she had ever saw.

    :biggrin_25514:10-4 on that driver.

    I know if they had a drive thru at McD's it would mean you could get a good case of the squirts without having to leave your truck.:biggrin_25524:

    Right, one is in Hibbing, not sure about the other one. They have two lanes for ordering, one for cars and another for trucks. The truck one has a raised ordering menu thing at eye level for the drivers...then you order and pull up to the stairs which are just a set of concrete steps that go right up to the truck. They come out with your grease and the worker has a coin changer on their belt and such for giving change. Plenty o room for manuvering too.

    I would like to point out a truck drive thru in Oklahoma that is designed for trucks.

    I think it is great to pull up and order and then you can be on your way. But like it was mentioned someone will have to sit in the way and take there break. So does anyone know why we have this new breed of drivers that think they can just park anywhere to take breaks??

    Years ago I pulled up to Wendy's. You might have to do some maneuvering but there is no overhang so you can get right up to the window. You'll have to shut down so they can hear inside.

    Leave them alone. (Don't be stupid...) they are not built for your big rig.
