    Gonna do just that. Thanks.

    Camping out at the fuel island! Oh, if there were only a way to track that ... excess time at the fuel island (and not moving up out of the way when done filling) would knock one's Best Trucker score way down.

    Got a good chuckle about that. This is all seriously good input you guys. I appreciate it. I'm not trying to start a thread, the type of which gets closed. Just looking for info. From a 10,000 foot elevation, the reason I ask such a dumb question is to be the best driver I can be. Which I try to be anyway. I would say I'm good on most of the obvious things here. But you guys bring up a things I may not have considered. But I'm "adding them to my personal driver's manual (in my head)," and will be implementing these principles as applicable.

    And no, I do not camp out at the fuel island! :D That's not one of the things I need to add.
     
    Lumper Humper Thanks this.

    Maybe not. I deleted a bunch of political crap from this thread and if the political statements stop the thread can stay open.
    See how easy that is?
