    It will end all unemployment, it would require about 190 million people give or take. Pay them 50 cents a mile, and have lemonade stands every 10 miles for them to get drinks at.
    All of our problems are solved, whew.

    Drivers of regular routes can keep an eye open to figure out when slower times are, and fuel at those times, instead of busier hours.

    Many times trucks will be lined up and out the driveway because they are trying to land the first 3 fuel islands. Lined up 3 deep out in the street, but if you go around fat boy incorporated, you will see the last 3 fuel islands are completely empty. These are the same stupid morons who refuse to leave the middle lane but for some reason get butthurt when you pass them on the right.

    I will never understand that park as close as possible to the door mentality. That stuff never goes through my mind, ever.

    It was foreign to me until I started team driving and I had to listen to all the complaining because I took a spot 4 spaces "too far."

    only when i pulled into a truckstop, at perhaps the right time of day, would i find some open spots near the building. otherwise, the "back 40", was where i'd end up.
     
    Speed_Drums and Boondock Thank this.
