Mobile printing?

Question

So I'm a commercial truck driver and I'm out for 5 days a week. I'm working on prototyping a product and I've been working heavily in CAD doing mock ups and I want to transition to producing parts for testing. I bought a neptune 4 pro and it's at my house waiting. I'm wondering if I can mount it in my truck and run it during my 10 hr mandatory breaks so I can crank out parts between designs and do on the fly tweaking or would the machine fall apart from the constant vibration from driving with it. I wouldn't be printing while driving but I'm concerned about the constant vibration, hard stops from time to time would cause things to get out of alignment or possibly something else failing.
