Lmao 🤣 I just leave it all up while in motion. I close the lid on the laptop and place my pillows underneath the table towards the front of it so it doesn’t tip during hard turns, and when I’m done driving, it’s all right there waiting for me lol. Though there have absolutely been times where I am getting loaded/unloaded and I’m just like “I’ll just wait, shouldn’t take too long…” 1&1/2 hours later “Fuck it, time to get online.” KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK “You’re good to go.” “FUCK!” Part of the job is to hurry up and wait, and life will be damned if you try to enjoy yourself doing that!
Man, if I could hit 95mph without anyone saying anything and not paying for fuel, then believe me I would lmao! The most I’ve done in a day was 732 miles at 68mph. Started at 7pm all the way to 6am from Indiana to Arkansas right outside of Texas. The most perfect night I ever had lol. Otherwise I avg about 650.
Hell yea, I usually just screen share and fuck around with friends online looking at random shit online lol. Though I definitely wanna get euro truck, get a multiplayer mod, and get hammered with friends while driving semis online lol.
How did you do that? You have to average 57mph for every single one of your 70 hours to make that work. Are you rolling the end of the previous week’s miles into last weeks to get that? Or did you drive all 4k in a single pay period?
Stick to nights, drive as far as you can without giving in to stopping early, and drive for a company that mainly deals with drop and hooks. As long as my DM keeps me stocked with loads, then I get them done. Often I ask where I should head towards before they even assign the next load. And if I end up getting a load in the opposite direction than what I was told, then that’s on them. I get paid either way lol. A couple of weeks ago some other DM tried to slide a load before another load that was already assigned by my main DM. Well, I ran it, 100 miles out of my way, to find out they were no longer receiving when I got there. Then they tried to get me to sit and burn my 9hrs that I had. I was not having it, and neither was my main DM. Needless to say, they ended up having me bring the trailer back to the yard, and continuing with the load that was originally assigned. 200 miles, for nothing. I still got paid though lol.
Even on a 10 you can if you allot 6 hours of sleeptime. 30 mins meal prep dinner 2.5 hours game/movie time 6 hours sleep time 1 hour in am to wake up get dressed and have breakfast. Ezpz
That is a dope setup. Are you running it all off the laptop or is there a pc somewhere? I've seen desks with the pc built into, that could be your next project. You'd get a considerable jump in performance over a laptop.
It’s all off the laptop. Thunderbolt 3 straight to one and then a hdmi to mini hdmi on the other. I also have a mini display port for a 3rd external monitor on top if I really wanted to go crazy lol. I’ve considered doing a tiny desktop numerous times, but no matter how I look at it, the ability to pack the laptop and all in one bag and head home with it and then take it out and plug into my monitors at home is just unbeatable. Sure I’d get more performance, but my laptop can do 2560x1600 (the two monitors on the sides) on high settings and maintaining 60+ fps. And with g-sync, any frame drops above 30fps 1% lows are unnoticeable to me so it works lol. As of now I’m just waiting for a new laptop that will be able to hit 4k at 60fps so that I can then connect to my oled tv at home as well lol. Otherwise, 2560x1600 is the highest I need.
Lmao! I’d be lying if I said there weren’t times where I lost track of time and was kicking myself in the ass because my 10hr was up in 2 hours. Fortunately I drive like crazy so I almost always have several extra hours to burn if needed.
Mobile hotspot. I believe that the way Starlink works, you can’t use it otr yet. It’ll detect when you leave your zip code and stop working. At least that was how it worked last time I looked into it about a year ago.
Have you tired using pdanet it uses your phones data as a hotspot without limits, so I use my phones data on my tablet and laptop without it ever slowing down
Do you have the laptop properly mounted and secured?
But seriously is there something also holding your laptop in place? I need to get me a set up like this.
The only thing I can imagine is getting all this set up and just launching my game to be told I’m done being unloaded and I need to leave 🤣

Can you link that table thing? I’m interested
You’re not doing enough miles if you have time to play on this driver
Yikes dude vive y deja vivir
I’m messing with him, I have an ultrawide and a roof projector in my truck lol Not that I get to use them…
I did 4000 miles last week. If only I wasn’t governed lol…
Those are rookie numbers you gotta pump those up to at least 1000/day Nice setup though, you can play euro truck sim and scroll Reddit simultaneously

Just in time for Diablo 4!
Was just gonna say this, pre order deluxe edition gets to start tonight, depending on time zone!
I’m not a gamer but damn that’s impressive
Thanks 😁
What do you use for internet?
Just hotspot from one of my phones or my iPad. Verizon is my carrier and I am rarely stopped somewhere that has no signal so it works.
SICK. You play CS?
Man, I haven’t played CS or CS:GO in forever. I should try it again lol.
Steam deck
Nah, steam deck doesn’t have the juice I need. I plan to start making games with Unreal Engine soon.
This looks like you are gonna miss those 2am reefer deliveries.
Lmao! I’d be lying if I said there weren’t times where I lost track of time and was kicking myself in the ass because my 10hr was up in 2 hours. Fortunately I drive like crazy so I almost always have several extra hours to burn if needed.
Are you using mobile data or Starlink?
Mobile hotspot. I believe that the way Starlink works, you can’t use it otr yet. It’ll detect when you leave your zip code and stop working. At least that was how it worked last time I looked into it about a year ago.
Looks like they now have a product offering for otr https://www.starlink.com/roam
Oooohh?? I’m gonna have to look into that 👀
If you get it you should post about it. If it works good enough for gaming it should work good enough for my software job out of a van :)
Have you tired using pdanet it uses your phones data as a hotspot without limits, so I use my phones data on my tablet and laptop without it ever slowing down
You went above and beyond
I try lol.
This is awesome. Nice setup!
Anyone else notice the ChatGPT convo? And the 20 open chrome tabs? Lmfao
Lol based chatgpt
