A little patience goes a long way
Road culture is made of ordinary courtesies. Pay attention to the people who make the stop work. Your schedule is yours; the room has its own rhythm.
Make room for company
Put the phone away for one cup. Ask your buddy something better than how work is going. Sometimes that is the best part of the trip.
A little less interstate.
A little more story.
