Trip Planning

There's a few tricks to getting the fuel stop that you want. But I won't go into that because it's not something a new driver should know or do. If you can manage that as a fuel stop then great, if not just suck it up.

As far as trip planning, you'll learn it gradually. Dedicated account or not, trip planning isn't mastered quickly. We've all been there, including me, so don't sweat it but make a full effort to learn proper trip planning.

Hey everyone thanks for the help, I like the 6am on sunday. However I may just leave around midnight or one am tonight. I've done everything at home I need to do, so might as well get going again, and give myself all the time in the world.

Sounds like a true trucker to me.. everything taken care of and itching to get back out there.

There is no way in h$ll I would eat at that TA. Last time there, two weeks ago, the food looked to be four day old re-heats. A first generation MRE would have been preferable - Cheese oil and hockey pucks (dried pork patties).

Hahaha, I got sick of truck stop food after being on my mentor's truck for nearly a month and a half. My step mom was kind enough to be my meal planner, so I've got all sorts of snacks and other food. Fast food just makes me feel sick and tired after a while (literally). All I care about is being able to park lol, the northeast I hear is bad for that and that's what had me super paranoid.
