What do you wish you had on the road?
What do you wish that you had while you are out on the road that is not currently available to you?
Internet, cell phone, etc. are obviously already covered. But is there anything that you wished you had that to your knowledge is not available to you?
Product or Service..

World peace, a million bucks and the love of a beautiful woman.

The only things I really dare hope for are smooth roads, light loads and two ply toilet paper.

A magic Rand McNally Motor Carriers' Atlas

Less Cops

Less Scales

Stealth mode

Logging rules that are practical to trucking

Speed limits that make sense to the area you are driving in (no 55mph for strait interstates ext..)

Fuel card that works everywhere

Truck stops that actually have decent parking lots that will not swallow my truck.

Cell phone coverage where I would never drop a call

Internet service everywhere.

Able to run my Air/heat in every state

Dispatchers who did not lie

loads that I actually want (coast to coast)

English language only on CB

Digital CB's

Satellite TV

50" plasma

Get paid on time

Get paid for LABOR/ overtime ext.. (you know what I mean)

4 wheelers that understood how to drive.

I could keep going all night with things I wish I had..

I'm looking more for ideas of new products or services that could be developed that would be beneficial for a truck driver, to make life on the road as much like home as possible.
You mention Satellite TV, did you know Flying J is working on a TV network at their truck stops that will transmit like 70 channels into their parking lots..
