    Heh, thats not all that tricky, pulling wide loads through fuel islands, try pulling a long wheelbase through with a 110 foot long load and making the turn with the guys that are pulled through already right and left without taking off their bumpers :p

    I kid, no, when you pull oversize you are usually acutely aware of what you can and cant do with it and usually plan fuel stops before you even pick up.

    Normally i go for cheapest fuel along my route, with oversize i hope i dont have to fuel or end up having to get fuel at higher prices if the fuel stops i might prefer are too small to get in or out of

    OSOW guys are typically a cut or 2 above the average. I'd be more concerned about a mega trying to get through there with just a tandem van.

    Actually in order to go to The Petro, you have to go to The Petro.
