Episode #077:

Today’s show started out with a big bang or at least a big, big belch if Patrick is to be believed! Janet argues the point and says that it was not as big as he claims. They barely managed to get past that point before they begin talking about their great big surprise.  It is the 4th birthday of the podcast show, and they are giving away gifts. They go through the fact that you got to be in it to win it and how Janet wants to call it the big Smackdown! She heard it in something that Patrick was watching and now she has it on the brain, SmackDown!!

So, they get back to the subject and Patrick starts talking about the gifts as Janet tries to shush him. Like that ever works! Then she gets to sing her ring our bell song, which always makes her happy.

They finally get down to business and start talking about where do you park your Big Rig at Night? They get into the subject with a bit of a deep dive with the usual jokes and puns between them. 

However, they do bring up some great places in their discussion about truck stops and what they looked for in a place to park at night. As the laughs and memories go back and forth between them, you can tell the differences between regional and long-haul restrictions. As well as the restrictions that different companies put on drivers with the type of fuel cards they give them, reimbursement restrictions and all.

You can tell that this walk down memory lane was a good one and still should be helpful. Especially to a new driver just getting out there on the road without the knowledge gained from experience of having driven for years.
