    Just starting a thread of things I’m learning out on the road. Some humorous, or entertaining. You’re welcome to chime in...

    May these truck stops groins be infested with the fleas of a thousand camels. They have hot chocolate. I’ve gotten on a hot chocolate binge! Can’t function without it! I wanna file a grievance with the union!

    What happened when you wake up in the bunk freezing at night. And you’re in SoCal?
    You pushed too hard to get here. Went to sleep during the day with the AC on. Slept 11 hours straight and it’s now midnight.

    What is the one place busier than Wallyworld at 3:30am?
    The county jail don’t count.
    It’s a truck stop.

    Always keep a roll of TP in the passenger side door and a change of clothes handy. Truck stop roller grills are dubious at times. :)

    What’s the one place you can show up to, looking like a bum, and they treat you with respect?
    A Truck Stop...
    Best part is....After shower and washing clothes. You leave looking like a King.

    This one’s serious. I use white vinegar for cleaning. Smell don’t last long. Cleans good. Disinfects.
    I even use it for my clothes wash.
    It’s not bad for your pet either.

    i really don't have a shipper per se, we have a dedicated customer. we have no receivers either, as we deliver to the customers warehouses at night, no one home.
