    I couldn't imagine having satellite TV in my truck. I'm too busy for that. Way too busy. Hey, if you got it, great. But who's got the time for that?

    That tv will come in handy for the slack time an 1800 mile week brings. Oh, it'll also be nice because you won't be able to afford to do anything anyway at .26c a mile.

    I predict some of their drivers will be selling them at the truck stops

    Man that would be sweet. Days like today, spending half my time in a dock, something like that would work out great. But I think I'd slack off too much just to watch my shows... lol

    A week like that is usually to California and back to El Paso so if I'm going to sit around doing nothing I can do it in my apartment with a willing lady friend.

    What a waste of a willing lady friend.

    As to the TV, I want to see how long it will be before one of those fools rearends someone watching Skinemax going down the freeway, and gets the satellite TV shut down for everyone else.

    Also I only sleep 6 hours of my 10, the rest I play around on my computer. Saving some of my smartphone Data to watch shows on the SAT Tv would be really nice actually, or at the particularly slow load/unloading docks.

    There's actually a federal law that prisons must provide cable for inmates, this just brings them into compliance.
