So what do you guys do to pass the time when you are out on the road and your working hours are up for the day? Do you go anywhere, do anything, or just hang out in the sleeper and read, play games, etc? Inquiring minds want to know....

Eat...Sleep...get up and do it all over again until I get home on the weekend.
If I get stuck (on rare occasions) running out of my 70 and have to take a break on the road, I will rent a motel room and kick back off of the truck. Sometimes I will even rent a car and do some sightseeing. -
I take walks, read, and look at my computer.

A lot of times it's hard to go places; I will not drop my trailer to go places. I'm on a team so we don't do a ton of sitting around till mid Saturday to around 3am Sunday.
We play a lot of computer games, a ton of reading, get out the cordless drill to shine my rims and stuff (not to a mirror), take 4 mile walk to shop, and laundry.
I don't like sitting at the truckers lounge if there is a lot of drama. Every other week there is a guy at the truck stop that will play life or monopoly. -
I play Aimless Lady, GFR. Put my bass in the rack, and dream of days gone past. Old people can still play, We just drop more pics
Chinatown Thanks this. -
I try to stay fit and healthy, so I try to do down time near a Oriental Spa, which you see beside the interstates and they usually have truck parking. If my wife is with me, I pass on the spa, rent a car and visit a Buddhist Temple if one is reasonably close.
