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

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.

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.

I'm a full-time RV'r and have been through the south a few times now and I absolutely love the place. Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana are some of my very favorite places. Forget politics and embrace the people. I stayed at a park next to the talladega race track for 4 days when I was just passing through and was only going to stay 1 night because the owners were just so nice. I stayed at a harvest host golf course in Mississippi just outside of Memphis and they let me take my dog out on the course with me. That's pretty common in the UK, but unheard of in the US. The whole gulf coast, (Floribama, redneck riviera) is just wonderful. There are 12 Waffle houses on the coast road between Biloxi, MS and NOLA just in case you want to count them like I did. Go there. Be surprised. Have fun.

As a truck driver for37years, to answer your question about line time, although you’ve probably had many answers to a varying degree, it, as a rule of thumb, comes down to drivers hours of service, we like to minimize our stops and maximize our hours of work (as usually drivers are paid by the mile!) so by law, 15 minutes is the minimum a driver has to log for fueling up, so he will then pull forward to the line, dash in, use the bathroom, grab something to eat, shop or what ever, get back to the truck and fill out our log, check load ect, all , hopefully within 15 minutes. This is because we are forced by law to take a 45 minute break with a certain amount or working time/driving. This can be broken down into a 15 and a 30 or a 45 block! So the driver may have already had a 30 somewhere and is just needing a 15 to finish it off. Is the driver needs more time, he may just pull off the pump and park up in a slot then go to do the what they need to do. So I’d say, the answer to your question would be 15 minutes. Hope this helps. Keep on camping!

About 5 miles further east from Quigleys RV was a Cracker barrel, spent the night there 2 months ago.

I am a Louisiana resident and been all my 56 years. If y'all came through Shreveport then y'all were about 65 miles north of me. I live in Sabine parish and we have been having storms the last couple of days, so good that you kept going but if ever you this way and need a place to stay reaxh out to me. Stay safe

Interesting how I am viewing this Jun 3, Sunday, and you showed Ryan Hall, viewing him on April 17th... now I know the difference in time between videoing and publishing.... yes, this year has been one BIG CRAZY weather event..... stay safe...

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.
