    So during my downtime I would love to pop out the gaming consoles and at least play offline (I don't play online). How would I go about this? I don't want to be one of the old timers who just sit in their truck doing nothing in their downtime, or using it all to eat and shower. These things should take no longer than 5-10 minutes, if you're like me.



    Edit: I don't want to kill the Truck battery or mess anything up. Please guys help, I know this is silly to be worrying about but when and if I do have some down time I need to be entertained. Thank you.

    First you need to get a inverter that can handle your game console.

    You could try sleeping as you only have 10 hours a night.

    You can get a 12v tv and then a 300watt inverter will run the console easily.

    Nothing? I'm a retired "old timer" now but I used my break time for showering, eating and sleeping so that when it was time to roll, I was rested and could actually make my deliveries on time!

    You'll likely find little to no time to actually use them outside of a 34 hour reset.

    Crappie, these guys are the new generation of truckers.

    They don't need sleep.

    I was just got off a call from Tesla about one of them automated trucks, I am thinking my next move would be into that autonomous truck thing because I am averaging 3:1 now with questions from applicants who want to do online gaming on their 10 hour reset.

    No time for gaming so prob don't waste your $ on an inverter until you have ran for a couple months and know for sure that you still want one.

    If you pull reefer, you can become a national console champion with all the dock time you get.

    Do you go straight to your bed when you get home/park for the night?
