I have Verizon and think they are the best as far as coverage goes still haven't made up my mind if I'm going with a hotspot or usb modem

 

I use Millenicom and have been happy with it. I bought the air card and get 10G a month on Veizon's network for 59.99. Downloaded Verizon's access manager for free as it has more options than the one Milleincom sends out on the Disk. Heard they use to offer a different aircard for use on the Sprint network, but not sure if that's still true. Wouldn't want Sprint out here anyhoo!

It is very rare that I get no signal. Maybe twice, thrice in two years? A lot more dead spots on my ATT phone, but I live with that for the plan I have. Do get lo strength signals at times and you won't be streaming any watchable video at those times.

I'm happy with it and would recommend it as a viable alternative.

 

Well, I'm heading for orientation at Salt Lake City on the 7th. Wish me luck

 

Good luck I hope the weather is good that week

 

Luck wished!!

 

Best of luck to you. Just remember this: "Good" weather in SLC probably differs from "good" weather in LA!

 

when your sitting at shipper waiting to get loaded or unloaded what time do you use for that on logs? especially if it's a really long wait.

 

Line 2... sleeper berth. Guess what you SHOULD be using it for? ZZZZZ!!!

 

i suppose if its taking long enough you try to get sleep do ya? im sure they'll wake you up by pounding on your door? what if it took longer then sleeper birth time of 10 hours?

 

$$$$!!!!

Detention - if the contract calls for it! Nothin' like being paid to sleep!

You can unload your own trailer if you like, but Prime pays a rate that discourages it. You're best off getting in a break that can be used as part of a split or a full one. Whether you sleep or not is up to you, but if you are going to be driving after a long period at a shipper or receiver, its best that you try to get some rest.

Adjusting your sleeping habits to the necessities of OTR is just one of the hurdles you will face. Its not your "normal" day-shift lifestyle.
