My only time OTR was 10 years ago as a helper for a bedbuggin Co. (What a waste of 3 mos..lol). BUT, I too could NOT believe what the truck stops charged for that crap. (AND each one tasted the exact same). Seeing I only got payed for humping furniture I would sometimes opt not to eat. Now there was a post in here about getting the better miles as someone had some great advice as to keep running---truck stops for fuel-rest-or a shower. They did not eat in a restaurant except to treat themselves to a steak once a week. Will be my plan. Glad to hear you have a good trainer and BOL to ya.
