{"replyTo":"","text":"Water! Never trust a water fountain always get your own bottle water. \nPlan Wal-Mart's in your route and ALWAYS double check that they allow semi parking. XxdiggitxX is right, food gets VERY expensive.\nAnd for the love of all that's good, GET A HANDS-FREE HEADSET! I am so sick of seeing peeps watch videos or talk on phones when you can easily get a headset, or hook it in to the rig.","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"Tips: always check mirrors to make before trying to pass. Most new drivers can’t tell when another truck is coming up at a higher speed and then they pull over in front of them. Drive slow in truck stop parking lot,( it’s not a race track). The biggest tip is consideration for other drivers","replyToPid":0}
