    NASTC fuel network going up another 78 cents per gallon after midnight. Last night it went up 45 and the night before 17 cents.

    start sleeping next to you tanks now, lol

    edit.. fuel is going down 78 cents not up. I misread my fuel notice

    I've had fuel stolen once while I slept in the truck at Loves, Joseph City, Az I heard the pump running from the other truck but thought it was his APU ! Another time I was sleeping in the truck (cabover) at a dirt lot next to a motel in Al. and another truck pulled next to me and was idling, so I kinda' rolled from the sleeper and released the brakes and rolled forward about 10-15 ft. In the morning my fuelcap was off and laying on the tank ! Both times another truck was stealing the fuel

    They are already doing it. They grab the outside tires without taking off the wheels. Some don’t need a jack either. Best to park real close to something solid or park trucks and trailers within inches of each other so they can’t squeeze to them.
    Alarming to drive into a warehouse district after a weekend to see trailers and parked trucks sitting on two inside duals and the bare outside wheels still bolted to the units.

    with this nifty invention called the “golden buddy” one can remove the outside tire on a dual wheeled tandem in seconds without unbolting the wheel almost hands free. Takes longer for the air to exit the stem.
