So you can check the mileage of the vehicle without climbing inside the cab where Tater the 500 Pounder has been sweating, farting and living for the last 50,000 miles?

I don't yet understand why Flying J is asking for odometer readings on its fill islands, but I have yet to know if anybody wants to buy my hubdometer.

They'll sell you fuel still no matter what you do or don't put in, right?
no idea, i'm going to try it one more time.

i was just waiting for a trucker to yell at me "bouy, you don't belong here!"

some companies need to record the milage for fuel tax purposes, as stated, for the last 5 years , i have been pressing 0 when it asks for mileage , and i write it on the receipt with a pen when i get back in the truck.

Yea you're right most fleets have them on tractors too, I'm not sure if it's just because there more reliable or what the actual reason for that is.

^ Saves the mechanic from getting in the cab when recording maintenance mileage plus, they are tamper proof. You see tham a lot on rental trucks.
