Why agitate? Post an irrelevant you tube video or move on.

I was feeling the spirit of Beavis or Butthead ... I guess I'll be moving on.

At home I drive an 05 Mazda MPV or a 96 Dodge Ram. At work I drive a POS 700. None I would call a premium vehicle.

I stop for lunch each day so I can relax. No need to push through a stressful day nonstop and have UPS take an hour out anyway.(Yes that is how it works in my center) May as well sit and eat and most importantly forget about the truck for a bit.
I had to go with this user name because brownmonster was already taken. What does my user name have to do with my views and opinions?

You like BS?

You really don't save $2500 bucks because the lunch you pack does cost something. But like I said earlier, I don't want to eat outside and sweat all over my food, and I prefer air conditioning, a sink, and a clean bathroom. Getting out of that truck, cooling off and watching a little tv makes me feel human again.

I choose to bring my lunch because of limited choices on my area. Also bringing a lunch lets me take lunch when and where I want to. Yes, it saves money, but it sure beats a pop and a bag of chips from the convenient store.

Just thought that profile pic would fit in well here. But yeah who doesn't like to BS a little here and there.

I have been driving for 26 years. I always take a lunch in a playmate cooler. When you work for UPS as a driver, food is for survival, not enjoyment. It's like putting gas in your car. I start at 8:20 and work every day until 15:10. The reason I do this is so that if my package car or Diad breaks down, I can call in and get another one on the way. If I take lunch earlier, and then one of those things break, I have to sit and wait for an hour doing nothing. Then my 11 hour day becomes a 12 hour day.
that is the easiest money you'll ever make...
when I break down, I love it when they ask, "have you taken your lunch yet?"

You plan everyday with the possibility that you'll break down? How often does that happen? A couple times a year maybe? Why delay your lunch for the slight chance?
Breaking down is easy money as said above.

I bleed brown
One time the bonnet inside the truck blew off on the freeway. I freaked out! thought I broke down.
They weren't having it.
Rolling cooler, good idea, lots of water good, trail mix good, just need to find the meat and potatoes of my lunch (in case my wild expectations come to fruition)
