When are using the pumps are so fast it's because our tanks are huge each tank can average between 50 gallons to over 100 gallons on each side. Most of the time when we pull up to the yellow line We tried to run in go to the bathroom and grabs a snack or something to eat coffee and get back out as fast as possible. Sometimes it takes a little longer because they might be aligned cash register.

As a truck driver I thank you for the respect you show to us. The general rule of thumb on the yellow line at the pumps is the fact it is not a parking spot, pull up run in use the toilet get a bite to eat and leave. It normally takes around 15 minutes to fuel a truck so I try to keep it around or under 15 minutes to be considerate to others

The length of time "at the line" varies by how busy the fuel lanes are. Fifteen minutes is the MAXIMUM when someone is behind you, but try to limit it to ten minutes. (Trucker 11 years and counting.)

I'm a retired mechanic. Try not to let your fuel tank rum below 1/4 level. The injectors on diesel and gas engines use the excess fuel that doesn't get injected into the cylinder, it helps keep the injectors cooler. On extremely hot days it might even be good to fuel up a little more often. If you touch you fuel tank after driving a few hour the tank will be very hot. Keep on trucking..... Very much enjoy you humor and travels.... Since you are travel nurses, might be interesting to show an basic first aid class. Maybe how to set up a basic first aid bag to a trauma bag. In the past I have given them a Christmas gifts, and family reunion prizes.

Our daughter and 2 of our granddaughters live in Texas. One of them is a Paramedic. She was transporting a patient to the hospital and got locked in when the Tornado hit. Her husband was home with her 2 year old and 6 month old, they watched a roof blow across their backyard and her husband hearded them all into the bathroom where they hopped into the tub with pillows to be safe. Luckily all they lost was their big, beautiful tree in their front yard. Glad you guys are safe!

We were camped at Woolly Hollow State Park in Greenbrier Arkansas last week and a tornado went right over the park. The park ranger came through the park with blue lights on over the PA speaker informing the campers to get to the bath house. The tornado dissipated just as it reached the park then reformed after it went over.

Several years back we were in an exact situation in Alabama. At a State Park between two Bluffs. The Rangers came, full lights and Loud Speakers on "TORNADO! Shelter IMMEDIATELY!". It was out-of-the-blue, everyone was blindsided since the TORNADO dropped down suddenly from low hanging clouds. Fortunately it jumped right over us moving from Bluff to Bluff! Had we not been in a low laying area we would have been in a DIRECT HIT. We still remember it and always keep an 👁 eye level view of what the clouds are doing. Glad you made it safely through your experience too! Safe Travels to You and Yours Always. SHALOM (PEACE AND FREEDOM).

All I can say about tornados is if you see the sky low and turning keep your shoes on. If the storm goes from bad to quiet I mean eerily quiet and still that's a good sign you'll probably hearing roaring soon seek shelter. When you pull up to a place to stay inquire if they have a severe weather plan. It'll help you decide where to seek shelter and if to seek shelter. If you plan on traveling it wouldn't hurt to invest in a weather radio and a puzzle mat.

Basically you are looking for one or more tires that are considerably higher than others. Pressure, road type, outside air temp all affect tires temperature, but you would be looking for a higher tire temp over others. Btw, you should be using that temp gun with your Blackstone as well :-)

As a truck driver I appreciate your respect for truck drivers. As far as sitting at the line you’re right, it’s to run in, use the restroom and grab your fuel receipt. However many drivers do their mandatory 30 minute break at the line. There is really no excuse for it, makes the wait to fuel sometimes close to an hour.

We always keep a Powerful CB for listening to what the Big Rigs are doing during any hazardous conditions... they know their own roadways extremely well and know hiding holes if weather gets really ugly! And their own company Dispatchers help to route them away from hazardous conditions too. More than once, they've been our best ❤ Road Angels 😇 ❤.

We didn't even go inside the truck stop. Oh yeah, I have a 1999 Ford superduty with the 7.3L turbo diesel, the first time we used the truck lanes was when we figured out that we had the smaller diesel filler tube. Filling the truck was a real pain in the but. We got the filler tube changed to the bigger one as soon as we could.

Stay at the yellow line 15 min max or less. Also Carl if you pull up just far enough for the diesel to reach back to your tank you will be able to fill your def at the pump too. The deff is on a reel and can reach across your truck to your def tank on the passenger side under the hood.🤠 safe travels you two!

I’m a truck driver for old dominion and there really isn’t any set rule on the line but out of self respect quick in the store maybe restroom break or snacks is good enough so roughly about 10 minutes just my opinion though keep it real Hanks love the content and hope to see you guys out there sometime

We stay on the yellow line just long enough to run inside, hit the bathroom, grab a snack, and get back to the truck. Usually you should spend no longer than it takes the normal truck driver to fill up and clean his windows. 🐾🐾

Thanks Hanks for your truckstop educate. 20yrs trucker, long time subscriber, '25 GD 337RLS owner. It's probably better if you just pull off the fuel island and park (pull-thru) Less anxiety to be rushed to move. If you're ever in the Princeton, Tx area, we're at Vista Rv Community. FM982

Rene, don't blame yourself for the puzzle. I20 from Shreveport to Monroe is the worst HWY I've ever driven on. Many, many, many years ago, LOL. I worked in the oilfield. I drove an 18 wheeler. Cab over. That road would beat me senseless. Love your channel. Someday my Wife and I would love to go to one of your meetups. God Bless you both for your channel and for being Nurses.

LOVE LOVES! There are double slots that are not near the pumps or truckers overnight spaces where I overnight. Food, drinks, gas,propane, dump station. I dont drink or cook with the fresh tank water so I fill from the hose by the pumps. Buy purified water either at Lowe's or Dollar General. Today I found a vet for my laundry pod chomping brand new mama kitty (two day old babies!) was a Dollar General Market next door. Amazing place. Fresh meat and produce. And like every other DG from Arizona to Maine was sold out of spice drops!

15 minutes should be it at the line but you have these steering wheel holders out here today that take their break there. I’ve also seen them go in and shower while sitting at the pump. It should be common courtesy to move out of the way so the next guy or gal can fuel. Everyone of us has appointment times to meet and a driving clock we have to abide by.

We were in Oklahoma in early April when a forecast of a tornado warning and SOFTBALL sized hail was coming in. We finally decided to get the heck out of Dodge (or in this case, Norman) and drove east to Arkansas to get away from the storm. You have wheels...use them.

You guys should get an infer red temp gun for the tires. I use that for my 18 wheeler. Just point it at the hubs. If all 4 are in range you’re good. If one is 10-15 degrees higher then there’s a problem. $15 for piece of mind just check when you stop to fuel even if you have a TPMS. 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Love your program ❤ To save your puzzles...there are puzzle rolls. It is usually green material with a round card board. When you are finished with the puzzle for the moment you can roll the puzzle upon the material with the roll holding the pieces in place as you travel. Opening when you chose to readdress the puzzle again... Happy puzzling 😂

We live in western NY we were at Allegany State Park when the rangers were going to each site warning people about an potential incoming rain/ wind storm. We have really never ran into that before but due to the fact that there is really no cell service there may be part of that. We have gone 10 days before no power no cell but awesome waterfront site, the generator tops off our batteries when needed and it was really refreshing to totally disconnect. We explained to family where we were in case of emergency the rangers can come relay a message.
