    Do you have a hobby to keep you busy out on the road?

    How do you deal with your idle time in the truck? vegetate in front of the TV? any active hobbies?

    As for me, I don't get much idle time in the truck because I do 99% of my sitting at the house, but when I do have time, I am usually on the laptop hanging out here.

    Most of my breaks consume the entire ten hours taking care of me. A shower, a meal, then to bed for a nice nap. I gotta' have some coffee to get my day started, so when it's all said and done there is little, or, no time for entertainment.

    If I get stuck somewhere for an extended wait, like a tank wash, or, long layover, I've got the trusty PlayStation for cheap thrills. I'm a GTA junkie who likes to find a place to defend, kill a few cops, then shoot it out till I'm dead.

    Other than that, I'm a get it done, and, get home kinda' trucker. My hobbies are at home.

    I write novels when I am not driving or sleeping. So far I have four published and I am working on three more.
