Be honest with me guys. I love video game and would like to game a bit on the side OTR. But I know trucking tends to have long hours and even in your off time you need that time to zzzzzzz... So is there any legit time to game or is this a pipe dream? Surely I could squeeze a little time in....

OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.

At first you are going to be wiped out and too tired to make time but eventually you will get a routine and you will be able to find the time to play some. The issue is if you are trying to play online, that can eat up some bandwidth and then you have to decide if it is worth the extra cost.

Heck yeah! You'll probably only squeeze in average 30 minutes a day if you get good miles but it's totally possible. I don't know if you're into RPG's much, but if you plug your computer into the truck speakers and close the sleeper curtains so it's really dark, it almost feels like you're inside the game.

Yes I do love RPGs, it's my favorite genre. I'd actually like to keep up with an MMO OTR , but man that's gonna be hard...

It just depends on the miles you run I think. You don't necessarily have to run as hard as your hours will let you--you just won't get paid as well, but it's still pretty good pay IMO. I think the main concern would be with data usage, but I guess you could just use wifi at truck stops and McDonald's if that's a problem. I stick to offline stuff like Skyrim personally. It's just easier to pull it out for a few minutes at a shipper or wherever.

Fortunately for me, I currently use Verizon WiFi at home because it's my only option and I know it works fantastic most the time and the MMO I play (FFXIV) barely uses much data at all. No seriously I can get a ton of play out of this game and barely use any of the data. Mainly just trailers and stuff on the computer drains it. + Verizon has fantastic freaking coverage so I think I'm good man XD

Yay me XD.
