    This may be the dumbest fuel solution I've ever been sent... fuel 3 times for a 900mile load lol. At least they are all on my actual route I guess

    Good evening, Truckerland. Tonight I'm calling Tifton, Georgia my home. I didn't bother posting anything yesterday because there wasn't much of anything to report. I got very close to my second stop on this trip and parked. Pretty uneventful. Today l finished my remaining 3 stops. Also pretty much uneventful. My last stop was about 20 miles from here. I asked to park here for the night and wait until morning for a load. I was thrilled when I was told that I could. I have a friend, former roommate, and college buddy that lives here and I haven't seen him for 18 years. Thanks to Pat in dispatch, by the way, for allowing this stop. I got to enjoy dinner and a brew, and a killer couple hours of catching up. Man what a fun conversation that was! This is the first time I've had the opportunity to see any of my out-of-state friends while out on the road. It was definitely the perfect first visit. Hope you all had a good day. Mine won't soon be forgotten :)

    You must have one of those fancy new QUALCOMM's, mine doesn't have a reflection of a cool dude wearing shades in the top left corner like yours does! ;)
    In all seriousness that is a bit of an unusual set of fuel Solutions. I understand though anytime you're in the area they want you to go ahead and go by Black River and fill up no matter what other fuel stops you've made on your trip.

    How freaking awesome is that?! You basically got paid to visit an old friend that lives on the opposite end of the country from you! Sweet! Hopefully that will way override any unpleasant days you may experience while out OTR this time! Happy for you my friend! :)
     
    treelife and Shock Therapy Thank this.

    Do that #### all the time. Company has me pick up loads over 45000 lbs from oregon back to ohio. But I realized majority of these weight stations are closed at night, so most of my trips are at night. Man late at night through wyoming is just empty as it gets. Few trucks going down, but not many.

    Haha didnt even notice the reflection....thank god i was dressed....
    As for the fuel solution, I had no problem with the BRF stop, but getting 60 gallons from a lil shell station when there was a Loves 13 miles up the road wtf, and then getting 75 more in Ina? Just fill the #### thing up once and then I'll stop in BRF fill up again. Beside the fact if it were up to me Ina would be taken off the fuel solutions. You're basically guaranteed a 30min break anytime you fuel there during daylight hours. Its ridiculous
