    It must be. I’ve seen Averitt Express drivers do it.

    I almost walked out of the Air Traffic Controller Protocols Conference a few days ago. The speaker was completely non-receptive to outside ideas and acted like only his opinion mattered.

    My wife while driving her car one day saw a trucker reading a book while driving. Had it leaned over the steering wheel.

    So if you’re an avid reader, War and Peace, Paradise Lost, or Moby D### might be a good way to while away the hours.

    Clean my AR, and polish the rounds, I like shiney bullets. And before any body say's anything I only carry rounds approved by NRA.

    I play American Truck Simulator while driving. Sometimes I get the two mixed up.

    I mean Bluetooth is reasonable, not like you’re over there texting. Watching a movie...more like having a tablet stuck to the window or something

    Yeah, let’s watch the hunger games while we ride down the road at 65mph in a 35 ton machine. How bout you stay in the back of the grand caravan and let daddy drive.

    Seriously? A LOT can go wrong in the twinkling of an eye, so watching movies is probably ill advised and generally frowned upon.

    Pretty sure the DOT wouldn’t like it too much. Or the family you just took out.
