Play Station 4 In Semi

We have a Cascadia also. Our satellite receiver sits on the shelf behind the jump seat. Our flat screen tv is mounted with a swing arm tv mount i picked up at walmart for $50. The screws for the mounting plate go thru the front of the cabinet so the sleeper curtain hides where the 2 bolts come through behind the jump seat. It has a swing arm and tucks neatly into the shelf where the satellite receiver/dvr sits.

Before you ever drill any holes in your truck, make sure you have your companys permission. That can void a warranty and cause you to lose your job. Our satellite system and tv was provided by our company. They installed the dome and wiring and told us exactly where we could drill holes for our tv mount.

There is another shelf below the closet which is behind the drivers seat you could probably use also. The pull out desk is just below that shelf.

I drive a 2017 cascadia and we will be using a 300 watt power drive for the tv and then another 300 watt power drive for the ps4

So let me get this straight, you don't even have a couple hours to unwind during the day? The pay would have been an advancement for me but I am not willing to work every waking moment of every freaking day. Is that what you are saying is required?

I really don't think you will have much time for Video Games on the road. After you find time to eat and take a shower and use the restroom, you will barely have time to get 6 or 7 hours worth of sleep. At least that is my experience.

However you set it up, secure the livin' daylights out of it. It is amazing how rough some of the roads are, and how much things in the cab get tossed around.

Tractor Man just likes to pick on us kids.

Seriously, some days you'll be so tired you'll wish you'd never come out here. Others, you'll have lots of extra time on your hands. It really depends how you run your clock. If you run recaps and work pretty much every day, you'll have a good amount of extra time every day. If you like to run really hard and then take a day or two off, you won't have nearly as much time each day foe yourself.

I'm running recaps and my 70 is down to 3:57 right now and I'm about to go in the sleeper and watch a movie while I get unloaded. Bourne trilogy here I come!

Well I WAS gonna watch a movie, but they unloaded me so darn quick now I have to leave. Haha

It's going to.depend on what type of work you do. For example, here at knight, if you run dry side, you do a lot more drop and hook. Your deliveries will have a window, meaning they'll want it dropped on a certain day between certain hours. You may find that you are able to do a lot of daytime only running, and you will park every night. You may show up to your consignee 10 hours early and if they won't take you early, you sit.

On reefer side, you are mostly dealing with appointment times and less drop and hook and more live loads. This means that you may be delivering at any given time, day or night, and it also means you will be driv8ng any given time, day or night.

You'll still have days where you show up early and have to wait before you can arrive at the consignee, but you'll more than likely have to run your 10 or 11 hours and shut down for 10 hours, and you start up again when that 10 is up.

So, at the end of each driving period, you'll have 10 hours before you are on duty again. 10 hours to clean up, eat, use the restroom and sleep. If your the type that likes to get 7 or 8 hours of sleep each night (whic, if you are driving a truck, you should be), then that means you have 2 to 3 hours of free time at the end of each shift.

It's also going to depend on how much time is on the load. If you have 2 days to go 600 miles, chances are you are going to have some free time once you arrive near your delivery. For example, let's say you get a load on the 25th in long Beach that has to be delivered to phoenix on the 27th. That's only about a 340 mile trip. You can do that in 6 to 7 hours depending on speed of the truck. If they won't take you early, then you have a day or so of sitting around..

Dan,...have you read this yet? Becoming A Truck Driver: The Raw Truth About Truck Driving

and this: Truck Driver's Career Guide

The hours a trucker works are not like anything you have ever experienced or can understand. There is time to unwind, but again off-duty time is for eating, showering and sleeping. We are required by law to break for 10 (simply put) hours before we can legally drive for 11 hours again.

My job is different than an OTR driver (like Sambo and Tractor Man). To put some perspective around this; I am on a dedicated account delivering to Walmart stores and Sam's Club,...anything less than a 12 hour day is infrequent, and yes, at times considered a blessing. However realize I actually want to be on-duty (working) for on average a minimum of 12 hours each day, otherwise it's likely money was left on the table. It's a balancing act. Once I log-out and off duty, eating and sleeping are the priority. Sleep is really important and part of our responsibility to be well rested, alert and ready to drive when the hours are available.

Screw this. I don't need money that badly that I don't have a couple hours to myself. Thanks for the honest reply.
