    I would always do my paperwork, play on my laptop, and just relax in my drivers seat.

    I'll sit there for 30 or so min. sometimes. other times, grab the laptop and head into the resturant , if there is one.
    Alot of times i will sit in driver seat with laptop sitting on steering where, more comfortable for me, than sitting on bunk with the drawer pulled out,
     
    DrtyDiesel Thanks this.

    I normally get my stuff together and take a shower. Then I'll eat. Afterwards I sit and watch Werner pull forward for the twentieth time trying to back into a easy spot.

    The guys that sit there and stare at you are a little disconcerning. Personally as soon as the pretrip is done I'm in the truck stop or in the sleeper.

    I have no TV or laptop in my truck or at home for that matter. I don't park at a truck stop unless I have to get an empty weight before I load. If I don't go right to sleep when I get parked I didn't work hard enough that day. After 20 hours of driving, I look forward to my nap lol.

    The guys that watch everyone walking are funny. I usually stop in front of their truck and stare back. It normally makes them uncomfortable enough to look away.
