You know....in the almost 5 years of driving I've been stopping by all these places on Travel Channel/Food Network and chowing down....but ALWAYS wanted to try Whataburger and never had the chance! Last time I was in TX(Rockwall) I finally had In And Out....it was ok....don't see the rave....now Cook Out is the BEST! Good thing to know I'll have a 13' 6" pick up to try out other places, in due time! hahaSometimes you might get home in the middle of the week. Don't count on it though. Sometimes it just happens.
Usually decent hotels. If you have a problem with one there are sometimes options. Ask around if you're not sure and some drivers will tell you where they're staying.
You take your truck to the hotel. And to Whataburger or wherever. You have 30 miles of personal conveyance use per day that counts as off duty time.
Mostly nights, especially out of Houston. Houston is an EOL terminal and not much relay freight comes through there.
