  • ^^^^^^The Next Exit is a great resource and we carry ours with us all the time.

    A small hijack:

    OTOH you might consider an auxiliary fuel tank, especially if you're driving a diesel. We got a smallish one: 35 gallons, but it gives us the option of driving all day and filling up after we've stopped. That way the truck is free of the 5th wheel and getting fuel is a snap. Just another option.
  • We also use The Next Exit book and find it very useful. We also make sure we have a full tank, when heading into congested areas (like Atlanta) where we might encounter a traffic jam that in all reality could last for hours.
  • You can download apps from Loves and Pilot. I also use the app Road Ahead. We always start looking when we have half a tank left. I also look at our route every day before we head out in case we will have a span with little on the road. Never had a problem - just be prepared!
  • We use a book called the Exit Book. It lists all Interstate hwy's and the facilities at each exit. Includes size and type of petro stations , food, lodging and other outlets at each exit. The exits are listed by number and the book is super easy to use.
