Online computer gaming OTR

Should be resting and getting sleep on your 10 hour break.

 

If you are in an accident and injuries are present, the Lawyers and DOT will go back on your Phone records and any other records they can. If they can see you played games for eight hours and got only two hours sleep, this will come back to haunt you.

You will being driving a Commercial Vehicle and subject to totally different laws.


Save the game playing for when you are at home and doing your 34 hr resets while on the road.


You will learn to catch sleep whenever and wherever you can.

 

I used to be wide awake after I was legally obliged to park it for 10 hours off also. I used to tear out the page and make it all look good and continue down the road. That isn't so much of an option anymore, the penalties if caught are steep, and the penalties if you have a wreck with your book looking like that, might as well be dead after they get done with you then. Now I try to manage my sleep better, if I am nearing the end of my day I decide where I want to park it and mentally prepare myself to shut it all down. You may be able to do a 14 hour day then stay awake for 10 more, but then guess what .... you are expected to be ready to do another 14 hour day ... the sleep debt collector WILL come knocking, usually when you are supposed to be somewhere ...

But yes if your phone has lots of data and a hotspot you can use that. Also need a high enough wattage power inverter, will likely have to be wired directly to the batteries to have enough power. I used to play computer games, but hardly ever anymore ... I drive and I sleep and I get the work done so I can get home efficiently and safely.

 

Go across the street to McDonalds use the free WiFi.

You'll see truck drivers playing games over there or just sitting and whining.

Buy a soda get free refills be creepy to teenagers.

Can help Keep your idle time down.

Just be prepared for beggars to ask you for a sandwich. (There is a truck stop across the road after all)


You're hungry!???!!""
There's a McDonald's right there.
Go buy something!!!!!

(Extremely loud voice usually embarrasses them away)

 

Rule justs states you have to have 10 hrs off or 8 hrs in sleeper and 2 hrs off/sleeper for split break.

just because one is in sleeper doesn't mean one has to sleep. Only way it will bite him in rear is after playing games for 10 hours and he knows he is tired drives anyways and gets into accident. I'm watching tv and on internet......I usually don't get to bed til 10-11pm and usually get up at 6am but tomorrow I get to sleep In yeah.....

 

Yes it is very possible, but you need a few things to go your way. If you want to play inside your truck you need an unlimited Verizon data plan which you would need to be grandfathered into. If you have that, you just need a gaming capable laptop and PDAnet(an app from the android play store). Lastly, you need to be in an area that offers decent 4g speeds. If you don't have the verizon data, you can use the truckstops ###### wi-fi. If that doesn't work, you can always buy other peoples unlimited data plans off ebay. I'm not really sure how that works, but they are out there.
