    I will be teaming with my friend and have questions about the inverter and power consumption. We both game I mainly on ps5 and he has a gaming laptop. Our company puts 1200-1500 (don't know specifically) watt inverters in the trucks and they have APU's. Along with a TV, fridge , microwave, hotspot and miscellaneous electronics would that be enough or should I look at upgrading the inverter. We are going for a lease purchase, I've been told we can make alterations.

    You’ll probably trip the inverter if you’re both playing games at the same time but if it’s only one at a time it should be fine. Off topic but hopefully you’re responsible with your sleep if you decide to game! I don’t typically touch the games unless I’m definitely sure I’m not doing much. With you running teams the companies don’t like keeping ya’ll standing still cause teams are high potential profits.

    We are both nearing the end of our 50,000 training miles and right now they are struggling to keep us moving. Even over the last couple of months we mostly get loads that could be ran solo. But I get what you mean and hopefully it picks up.

    they can't keep you moving now, and you want to do the dreaded "flease" purchase with them???

    He has a company trainer and mine is lease they definitely get the #### end of stick. We started at the same time and he is 8,000 miles behind me. They sit way more than we do.

    This will be a big concern for a lot of people who think that this is a good time to make some money, they will drive the rates down in desperation.
