    Unless you see donuts and coffee in there. That’s always for the truckers because most cops are into being physically fit and won’t touch a donut.

    Put the brightest lights you can for headlights. Always keep it set on the high beams, so you can see. Especially on two lane highways. As long as you can see, who cares if anyone else can.

    If life gives you lemons, find someone with a burger, and trade.

    Never make meals at home for the road, or cook in your truck. Your making big money, you can eat all the roller dogs and dennys you want.

    Don't save your hard earned money for your future. Spend it all now on the newest Iphone, video game system, tv, etc.

    Buy more lights to add to the outside of your truck. After all, you may be parked by 5pm everyday and never drive at night, but that one time you do....#### you glow.

    Heed all the advice in this thread.

    Don’t wash your truck.
    The dot doesn’t want to crawl around underneath it and it helps hide the duct tape holding it together. If it gets bad enough they can’t see you to prove who was driving at the time, possibly creating plausible deniability.

    And you don't have to stop at the ag stations if you're running ag exempt on your logs.

    If it jams....force it.

    If it breaks -- it needed replacing anyway.

    That's good advice, but I think that's Murphy's Law number four

    You usually have enough time at the fuel island to run in and get a foot long or two from Subway. If you're not hungry your spare time can be spent using the sponge and squeegee to not only do your windows and mirrors but generally anything you find dirty on your truck or trailer. Please don't forget your muddy steps, you know, safety first! Don't bother putting them back, we all know where to find them.
