Ok, so Verizon is a better AirCard than Sprint. I have a Sprint cell phone. Let me guess, in order to get a Verizon AirCard for Net access, I need to also purchase a cell phone plan through Verizon as well, right? when all I need is the Verizon AirCard.
dammmmmmm-it

Ok, living in a truck is a small space, so those smells are quite overpowering due to the tiny area. And some people are better at smelling things than others, for example when I walk into my apartment I can immediately tell if there has been someone in there that I don't know. A dog is just as dirty as a human. Only the dog cant clean up after itself. You want a dog for security? Go buy a flare gun, far cheaper. But you have inspired me to write a new thread.

What's the Largest TV that could fit securely in a Tractor? I'm guess maybe 19inch? My 11 yr old Son Would sure hate to play a video game on a 13inch TV but oh well.

I'm going to try to blow this Truck up in my first year..........

AND what does anyone suggest for a satellite?

I hear that alot of the Trucks get broken into by scumbags, so what is a decent security system?

Thanks everybody.....

They will find out in a hurry if you have a dog - the most likely scenario is that some other PAM driver will rat you out...quickly. You have no idea how many 'eyes' are out there, and how many are willing to sell you out for no more than the thrill of doing it.

Don't try it. Once they catch you (and they will) and fire you, you will have a "discharged" on your DAC, which isn't good for a newbie. If PAM will hire you, there are about 10,000 other crappy trucking companies who will also hire you...ones who allow you to have pets. Why risk it?

POWER Inverters
I went to WALMART looking for Power Inverters and found nothing. I asked 3 people that worked there where I would find these but I couldn't communicate w/them since they spoke spanish... So tired and frusterated, I gave up and left. Speak ENGLISH please.

Where would I get a Flare gun? Thought about bringing my .45 but know i'd get fired and don't want to risk it getting stolen if Truck is broken into. Guess I'll bring my pellet hand gun and a baseball bat... or just a Flare Gun
