    The other thing that happens is drivers fall asleep at the wheel.

    A few weeks ago I was heading east on I10. I was east of Tuscon, but still in Arizona. I watched a driver pulling a huge camper in a truck literally drive right off the road into a ravine. It didn't look like he slowed down at all. It was a pretty deep ravine. It wasn't a commercial vehicle, but I imagine he probably fell asleep at the wheel. Freaked me out to watch it happen live right in front of me.

    I kept heading east but a bunch of people stopped including some other truck drivers. As I continued east, I started to see a huge amount of emergency vehicles flying by heading west so I imagine there was some major injuries.

    Yeah the only thing I do in those situations is call 911 I'm not paramedic trained and I will just be in the way. Give the mile marker and hope for the best. That is freaky as hell though...

    Oh whoopie (sarcasm), they dropped the tiny fee for an EFS check for repairs. Much rather have the fee droppd for getting fuel within their preferred network.

    I already thought we don't pay for EFS when fueling at flying J...if that's what you were talking about...

    It is. And you do pay the fee when fueling the truck at PFJ.

    When did THAT change? Because when I started a couple years ago there was no EFS fee, Really don't feel like going that far into my settlement backups but I KNOW there were times where my EFS fees and fuel stops didn't match.

    Nevermind I'm going off half ####ed. I checked back in 2015, they were still there for PFJs...
