One thing I remember from my car detailing business. Removing bugs works best in the early am thanks to the dew from the night. A perfect non scratch method: Put a panty hose over a soaking wet large sponge with some car shampoo. Never had a problem and we made tons of money spending very little money. Love all the off the grid camping spots you shared with us.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Ok, thanks. Great tip. Never heard of the panty hose trick.

[@alexanderlacy4005]

About the three fuel pumps, generally you’ll find that in farm country up north, because you will have three different types of fuel there. You will have treated diesel, witch is for vehicles operating in extreme cold, so that it doesn’t jell up on you, then untreated diesel, that I’d imagine you’d run year round because you all don’t typically operate into extreme cold conditions, then 3rd you have OFF ROAD DIESEL, witch is for farm equipment and heavy earth moving machinery that don’t operate on state maintained highways. Obviously all diesels will burn either one, but you never want to get caught running off-road diesel fuel in your road truck, and the way that they can tell that is there is red dye and off-road diesel fuel. So if they test your fuel and it is red, so is your rear end after they get done with you. Lol. So typically, Farmer will pull in with his pick up and fill up his off-road and his pick up at the same time, and you can pay for it two different ways, with different or same cards.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Ok. That makes sense. Thank you

[@judithrobinson8403]

😊

[@phyllisp9383]

Red diesel is only for farm equipment, which may be why more pumps. Love you guys!😊

[@scottmichaels12]

Yep, it's usually called "off-road" diesel which is for farm and construction equipment that doesn't travel on the public roadways.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks. Makes sense.

[@BrianSmith-yn2zg]

Can also be used for generators' but you would need a dedicated fuel tank just for the genny.

[@briane5992]

Didn't see the other side but I remember from when I was a driver there was a sister pump on the other side of the aisle for the passenger side tank

I’m a little delayed in watching and commenting this week. We evacuated from Tallahassee when they said we were in direct line with a category 4 hurricane. Lucky for us, not for others, it swerved a little more east. Other than loss of power for only 18 hours and twigs, leaves, branches down in the yard, all was fine. We emptied the freezer and fridge of anything we left behind but a fresh start is never a bad thing. We are throughly blessed! Thank you for this week’s vlog. Please be safe as you make your way south.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Wow, Christy. So thankful that you guys are ok. Glad there was no real damage. Terrible storm for the south east.

Wonderful video, David and Sondra! Great to see New Salem Sue featured in the pictures at the end of your video. New Salem, ND was founded by German immigrants as a dairy farming area. As a former South Dakota resident, really appreciate the wonderful scenery from the state. A quick note--the capital of the state is pronounced "peer" not like a Frenchman's name. Neither South Dakota nor North Dakota seem to recognize French pronunciations--consider that Minot, ND is pronounced "my not." BTW, you missed the Runzas in NE. 😁

I've driven thru the mid-west on I-90 both ways several times and I can promise you that from Livingston, MT to the Great Lakes, there is a whole bunch of nothing other than miles and miles and miles of wide open prairie. I must have driven 3-4 hours without ever seeing another vehicle traveling in either direction. But it's not really that there is nothing out there, because one of the things that really struck me was the huge expanse of sky, like nothing I had ever seen before or since. The northern prairies have their own kind of beauty, the huge and open spaces from horizon to horizon tend to humble one (at least they did for me), make one realize how small we humans are in the overall scope of the entire planet. The cloudscapes were unbelievable, as were the night skies.

It's Herriod, SD. You'd already crossed the state line a couple miles back north. That was a specialty trailer for hauling the wind turbine towers. Mostly the width between pumps are probably because they haul a lot of round bales of hay double wide on trailers so about 12ft. total width and also in that area they go double long in trailers so get to be over 100 ft total length so it gives them extra room to get around.

That would be cool! We were in Ambassador in June for the West Coast HDT Rally.

😂 you are showing your age with the wrestling comment. Loved me some wrestling in the day and Hulk Hogan is in a neighborhood close by.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

😆 🤣 just thought I'd throw out some fun trivia "play on words" kind of thing. Hulk Hogan was the master showman!

[@aquablue3803]

I would love to see that

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Really?!? Us too!

[@polarisman67]

Maybe to much Whataburger!😁

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Possibly an overload situation... 😆

We're hay farmers in Wyoming and our diesel is delivered to our farm tanks.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Ok, that makes sense. No fuel tax, I guess.

Another great video, I always amazed at how you find the local city campgrounds, any tricks you care to share?

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Campendium.com comes in handy.

I Love it. You Go Girl. 😅

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

She did great! Thanks

[@patkrier8997]

Love your show! Love your stories! It’s pronounced Kuken (it’s a German word).

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Yes, thank you. We'd never heard of it before but it is very tasty.
