    I'm not sure how many to be honest. I'm with USA Truck and they do. I believe Werner does. Not sure about others.

    When I drove for jb hunt, they didn't allow anything bigger than 300 w, but that was years ago. Inverter allowance is one of the questions I always suggest people ask when they are looking for a company. I'd also suggest finding an all apu fleet.

    I have a 22" vizio and have it mounted to the cabinet using a piece of rubber and a couple C clamps. Works great, you can get the swinging arm mounts at best buy and probably walmart, never checked there. I have my PS4 in the truck and while I play Battlefield 4 all the time online there isn't a lot else game-wise that isn't also on PS3, the last of us for instance. Destiny is a month away and GTA 5 is on the way as well so the near future might be a good time to get one.

    yup played the crap out of it until the PS4 showed up a couple days later and I was forced to decide which one was going on the truck with me. Worst timing ever.

    crappie - I'm not a gamer at all, but I've got to say, I admire people with hobbies. And I wouldn't presume to judge which hobbies are worthwhile. Personally, I'm going to lug a motorcycle with me and do whatever I can to explore areas other than the interstates. A guy that says truck driving is all he has time for has failed at life, imho. I'm not picking at you, as I often agree with your viewpoint. I just hate the mindset that if you aren't driving your are not serious about your profession.
     
    wulfman75 and bgreyhart Thank this.

    My hobby is writing. I asked what I did not to be judgmental...i used to be addicted to video games, to the point id call off work just to play. I was trying to see if anyone was at that point. Just didn't come out right. Lol

    I had a video game addiction. World of Warcraft. Actually me and my wife both did. Which seemed great for years until I wanted to quit and she didn't. I credit it (and the guys she hooked up with from the game) as the reason our marriage ended. But like you, I also found myself sometimes calling in sick, ignoring household chores and spending less time with family and friends. When I saw it was getting out of hand that's when I quit.

    People who have not played MMO games in a virtual world can not understand the allure. It's not like most games. It's like having a second life, full of commitments and relationships that at times seem as real as the real world. So don't judge unless you've tried them at a high level.

    Still, I wouldn't put people down for playing games IN MODERATION. After all, some guys watch 12 hours of NFL football a week plus Sportscenter every day. While others watch hours of TV every day and never miss a show. It boggles my mind why some time-waisting hobbies are socially acceptable but others are taboo. Enjoyment is enjoyment. Everybody needs something to escape. It just needs to be managed wisely.

    By the way, I'm a writer too. I write novels. Another thing, that #### game stole from me. ;-)
