"Second, I hate stopping for fuel, gas or diesel. No matter what you’re driving, stopping for fuel will usually waste at least a half-hour of your time."

Very true , but its good to stop and walk around alittle to save your back & legs . Specially if your tow rig seat is not the most comfortable . Do some of the motor homes & toterhome have better seats than some pick up trucks .

Oh gosh yes indeed, Ken. The seats in some (actually most) motorhomes are super plush and quite comfortable.

ON ramp OFF Ramps. Most highway accidents happen within ON ramps or OFF ramps. I read this years ago and my non accurate count is probably 80pct of the time this is true. When I see a exit ramp, the hair goes up on the back of my neck. In a car not as bad as when you are towing with that car in the left lane right next to you.

And the comment about people not letting you in, I have just started to cut them out. And if you watch, most truckers are doing that now.

I don't know if things have changed but my dad used to drive truck and he refused to drive the east coast. because the rude don't move drivers. He said on the west coast he could be in bumper to bumper traffic turn the blinker on wait a moment and the lane would open up so you could go.

Just start drifting over to the next lane with the rig and you'll see how fast they let you in.

The wasted time for re-fueling gas/diesel?

Spend some time on u-tube watching trip videos of Teslas or any other ev.

These people live in a world of total delusion. I almost feel sorry for them.
