I believe being out on the otr road is part vacation ........ If it's just a job to you I kinda feel sorry for you. Maybe that's why I never seem to let anything out here bother me. I've done real work in my life so trucking seems like part time work to me. I did have one of those satalight boxes for TV , one of the older models and I found it really did not work very well so when I sold that truck the 32' tv and satalight stuff all went with it. Only time I miss TV is during football season.
What's the real deal with the DirectTV in the trucks?

Wow-ok mommy.You dont sound too happy there-Happyfeet.Just because a driver has a tv doesnt mean he/she can be compromised,or that a tv can be dangerous.Ive got a flatscreen/dvd tv in each truck(USAtvnow for internet n a dvd for parking out in the sticks)sometimes there on-sometimes there not.Myself n my driver are not chasing miles/working 8 days a week to get sweet money.If a guy has to do that-get a different job so you can enjoy the job.Reading your post-to me- was coming on like this guys jealous of truckers w/tv's.I mean,you got it figured out how many hours/cuts into work cycle,calculated the bottom line-etc.Whoa dude-chill out.
Then i read you have a tv---also.And a firestick,wifi,netflix,streaming,amazon video,steaming podcasts----cords probably running all over the place?Sounds like alot of time to set this stuff up can possibly be wasted as all i gotta do is pop in a dvd.
A man has to know his limitations.Some guys are on the phone for hours(oh-i miss you honey-ill be home soon)playing x box,etc.Then there driving down the road w/them things in their ears,just singing away-instead of listening to the truck(wheel bearing squeaking).
Heck-parking between 2 reefers in the truckstop is more dangerous to my sleep then a tv!None of my entertainment/food(t-bones n beer) cuts into my bottom line-a blown tire cuts in to my bottom line.
You sound stressed,driver, if you can,relax-dont chase miles-get your niche n enjoy trucking,smell the air in all the diff states-get a grill,charcoal,eat well,enjoy a cold one,dont work so hard.
BUT-- you win-i cant play w/pandora's box like you can-i have no buttons on my steering wheel!RedBeardedT, augiedoggie41 and crazeydude Thank this. -
