A thunderstorm, a table full of jerky, and a big promise from Washington State: find safe truck parking up to four hours ahead. We kick off with a care package from David and Ramona and a spirited taste test—lemon pepper’s bright pop, jalapeno honey’s gentle burn, Texas heat’s serious kick, and bohemian garlic’s bold, road-worthy flavor—before steering straight into the news that could change nightly parking hunts on I-5.
We break down how a predictive system might actually work for drivers: sensors at rest areas and weigh stations, real-time counts blended with historical patterns, and the need for alerts that adjust when a crash or surge flips the script. The idea is simple—less circling, safer stops, smarter spacing—but execution matters. We talk accuracy, hands-free prompts, public vs private lot coverage, and the reality that a five-spot miss can blow a tight clock. If it’s going to help, it has to be transparent, fast, and driver-first.
A recent AWS outage adds context. When the cloud hiccups, maintenance platforms, phone systems, airline tools, and apps wobble with it. We share what went down, why services came back in odd patches, and how dependent modern trucking has become on a few giant backbones. That launches a lively sidebar on cyberattacks, hacker movie nostalgia, and the balance between embracing new tools and building analog fallbacks. We round things out with practical fuel talk: hidden sugar in road snacks, why many travelers feel better eating abroad, and small choices that keep energy steady.
