    Wow. That’s a lot of screens.

    I use a 10 year old basic MacBook. No viruses on Mac, ever.

    I hotspot from a tablet that is also my GPS.

    I have the cheapest Brother laser printer in the back but laser printers do need a big inverter, I have a 2500 watt for all the kitchen stuff. After 2 years I just changed the toner cartridge for the first time.

    I keep a file with all carrier packet info on my phone and that laptop for quick communication with brokers.

    All office work done in the truck, even in the driveway at home.

    The screens would drive me nuts. I use the phone, when needed, for gps. I can manipulate it pretty good, for shorter routes, Best thing that ever happened for Trucking. Great for keeping track of miles. A Truck route gps would be a help, at times. But I get by without it. I’m trying to keep it simple. Avoid overlapping service. Cut the phone and cable/internet at home. Don’t miss that bill.
