    I know you weren't asking me, but it's never stopped me before! I Netflix on my phone sometimes. Takes a little while to get used to the screen but all things considered it's pretty nice.

    I watch it on my phone too. I have unlimited data until May 2013 on Verizon so I've never worried about how much it uses. My phone is my only source of news and entertainment otr.

    I have the Nexus 4s from sprint...and rooted it and installed wifi tether so I have unlimited data to do with what I please...the nice part being a former employee my service was free, and Sprint evidently hasn't changed my plan so my phone has been free since I started :biggrin_25519:

    I checked with Sprint a month or so ago and they quoted me as 200+ for unlimited data for a couple of phones. That is a little pricey in my opinion but perhaps the only solution other than what I have now through several different companies with phone and internet.

    I have Verizon tethered to my phone as well. I have unlimited data since it was grandfathered in before they stopped the unlimited.

    Well I stopped for the night at the Pilot in Falls Creek, PA right off 80w. I had wanted to get into Ohio for the free showers but I was going to be like 15 mins short. rrrr. I figured I had a shower credit at the Pilot so here I am.

    I ran about 400 miles today. Could have driven another 100 but I am tired. I had a slight fever yesterday and sweated through my dam pillow last night so i think it broke. I picked up a plate of steel going to Michigan. I also do not want to have to reset this trip out so I need to watch my hours.

    This is a fast turnaround this time out. Only 10 days out. My daughter is getting tubes in her ears on the 8th so I want to be home for that. 2 days off will be really short but my wife needs me to be there for her I think more than my daughter. lol. Oh well, Netflix time!

    Stay safe all!!!

    Well I am sitting in Marshfield getting my truck worked on. Got myself a bunkroom for the night. My fleet mgr. told me the planners aren't even going to look at me till tomorrow at 7am.

    Oh god kill me right now. I am hearing "supertrucker" stories from some dullard. This is why I usually avoid the driver lounge. Oh thank god he left! Sorry for the digression.

    Time for chineese food and netflix! lol

    Stay safe all!!!

    Well I thought I was going to get a reset in Marshfield, but I wound up getting one here at the TA in Hudson, Wi. Got here like noon yesterday and don't have to deliver till Monday at 0830 about 35 miles down the road.

    I am delivering parts of a bridge right to the bridge. Cool. This is why I am really liking flatbedding. You get to go to some pretty cool sites. Last week I had to drive through the same tunnel as a train went through. Delivery was to CSX railyard. That was awsome too.

    Well the water pressure here at the TA was low enough that they closed down the showers, laundry and bathroom. Glad I did my laundry in Marshfield and got the bathroom out of the way before they closed it. lol.

    Well time to enjoy some football. I just pulled off my jacket and the driver's lounge started laughing. Had my Giants jersey on. The general consensus was that was ballsy in Packer country! lol I have to be a ####y New Yorker ya know. It's part of our DNA. lol.

    Oh well, stay safe all!!! Go G-Men!!!
