    I agree that the american cowboy's days are done but have to totally Disagree that the Majority of drivers are pigs.
    I will agree that the numbers are rising on the pig chart but its no where near majority status.

    I also disagree that the majority of truck drivers are from other countries. From what I see the majority is still american.

    I have to admit that I have not seen a turbine empty out or throw out a piss jug or piss between the tires.

    But the ones I do see are Caucasian like myself.

    I delivered to a Sam's store as an outside carrier and they took me a day early. Guess I got lucky.

    Preferably not on the side of the highway. What a joke that place is.

    I run expedited freight to the oil patch. Once I get a call from dispatch the wheels are turning. If I go to an unfamiliar area the last 15 minute break is a stop to figure out options for taking a 10. My Rand McNally GPS can give options, sometimes I have better luck looking at Google Maps with Satellite view, looking for large parking areas. Some of my best 10 hour breaks have been found with Google.

    Other than rest areas, truck stops, or customer lots, look for casinos, picnic areas, or super sized adult stores (in the Bible Belt). They are all truck friendly.

    So your church going neighbors can see your car parked there.

    There are a few out of the way places in Denver that I park at but with everything there the area is getting built up, no parking signs are going up, and I will no longer be able to use those spots in about 4 months. And that is why I like driving through Kansas.
