I'll be leaving soon to start CDL training, and after that I'll be on the road like 27 days of the month. I had been thinking of getting a real good notebook and like verizon wireless or something like it to play while I'm on the road. Anybody else do this? What kind of performance can I expect out of this wifi crap?

My buddy Zhao does trucking but he's local. Still sucks for him though. Up around 4am and gets home around 9pm and doesn't get any time with his kids for 5 days.
From my experience with Wifi you need a place that supports it although I'm sure most truck stops do. The few times I've used mine I've never noticed too much of a difference but then again I wasn't trying to run a mmo.
Sucks for zhao again cause even if he had a wi-fi notebook I'm sure that the dairy factory he has a 3 hour layover at doesn't support wi-fi. Hardly have had a chance to talk to him in the last few weeks.

I saw a truck explode on the exit to the interstate. Driver like totally ejected a few minutes before it happened. The insurance payout was probably pretty good.
True story.

My former corp mate did this. I was not in that corp too long, but it seemd like ti went well for him. I can not give more details unfortunatly.

Only when I'm forced too. After fighting the idiots on the road all week, I just want to blow stuff up.

10 years ago, when I quit driving, most truck stops had cable hookups for internet (broadband). Whether they've gone wifi since then, I have no idea. I had to pay 20 bucks a month for access. Wifi might be the same way. |

My dad was a trucker, he was going to quit. But he had a really bad accident and died before he did.
Stay safe out there to all of you. |

That sounds a little like what happened to my 1978 F-150.  My truck did not quite explode it just burst into flames. I guess I did not find all the leaks in my gas line  . I should of just gone ahead and replaced it. The insurance payout was close to $3500 .
And yes Mike D., contrary to popular belief F-150's, especially the older ones, are quite good at being trucks. You just need to be quite handy with the tools  .

P.S. That sweet little truck, AKA the Tank served me well many times  |

my truck in the foreground 16cm3 tank, 60 series detroit, if you care about that stuff.
and i camp in the shacks in the background, about 50 miles off the alaska highway in northeast British Columbia. im posting this using a sierra wireless 580 aircard without any external antenna or booster. in the US youll get good coverage everywhere. i havent seen very high bandwidth but it works.
you can boost these up to 3 watts with external boosters and get 50 miles range if needed, the rig itself has a repeater on it so i dont need any extra signal boosters. its not wifi either, thats not the same as evdo.
double clutch is for noobs
