Truck stops are the place to go on the Interstates for fuel always and for food much of the time. Here in Miami there are quite a few inconsiderate and incompetent truckers, but you don't find them on the long haul routes, ever.

Years ago, I was returning from Mexico in a '69 Renault 10 loaded with pottery and with a couple of suitcases strapped to the roof. While driving across Arkansas, I would pass this semi on every hill and he would pass me on every decline. We did this all the way from Texarkana to somewhere halfway across the state. We pulled over at a rest stop and he follwed me into the john and apologized . He said "I hope you don't think I was just playinn' with you back there". I didn't know who he was and said "Hunh?" He said that he was overloaded and never knew a little Renault could hold 70mph before. I told him that he hadn't bothered me at all.
