Does Arizona have any of those goofy laws that a commercial
trucker absolutely *must* stop and buy fuel at least once
while crossing the state?

Re: OT texas help
I remember that law, but I don't remember it being Arizona, Just
that all trucks had to stop at the boarder and pay, for me with an
Arizona license plate tag it was seventy five bucks to pass. And at the
time twenty years ago they had the worst Interstate highway of any state
I had driven.

Re: OT texas help
No, I am not a troll, I lurk here daily and once in awhile jump into the
conversation. I have been exposed to most of Texas, and none of it
impressed me. If your feelings got hurt, I am sorry. My opinion was asked
for, and I gave it. I hope you enjoy Texas, somebody might as well get some
use out of that wasteland.

LOL It's like I'm stuck in a time warp, although I didn't let them
grow that long until I was about thirty, as I was always under some sort
