    Laser printers suck a lot of power.

    I ended up just getting an inkjet all in one from wally world. Was like $75 bucks and uses very small amperage.

    Got it from wally world cause if they sold it they normally stock cartridges for it. But to be up front the cartridge replacement is almost the same price as buying another printer.

    I would stay away from HP too much bloatware and constant software updates. I opted for a Cannon brand. They just build a good stable product that just works.
    think something along this lines if you do not mind plugging in a usb

    I've never tried it. Been curious as to if it's any good.

    Looking at a trucking company here... I was hopeful that might be a good fit for me... but some things about their equipment totally turned me down... :biggrin_2557:
    • 100% automatic transmissions
    • Safe guard assist
    • Adaptive cruise
    • Pedestrian breaking system
    • Anti-jackknife system for safety
    • 65 mph governed/max speed
    • Traffic sign display
    • Leave departure protection
    • Lane keep assist
    The company calls that "safe equipment".... They say their equipment advanced safety technology inspires the confidence of their sales team, it reduces the stress of their mechanics and makes work easier for their dock associates... Maybe... but what does it do for drivers? Does it cause more stress because of all those noises and distractions and takes the control of the vehicle out of the driver, which reduces safety on the road control?
    Maybe some drivers like it... but I don't want to touch it...

    Does anybody here have experience with that anti-jackknife system?

    Watching some videos on YouTube here.. this lady's name is Sheila. She is from the south in Brasil. She has been trucking for many years and she has a YouTube channel with almost 1.5 million followers...
    Almost all trucks I see here are Scanias with 6 axles.

    Have no idea what company this is. Some of this stuff, couldn’t tell you what it is.
    The only anti-jackknife system I know of is a quality driver.

    My anti jack knife system is very tired. It's laying in the bunk holding the phone with the left hand, and hitting the keys with the right.
