    So I go to orientation on Wednesday. Once I'm on the road it will be dedicated 11 western. Any good truck stops with free wi fi?

    Not really...youll find a few here and there.
    While we're on the Subject don't bother paying for the WiFi at PFJs it's crap.
    Get a decent android Smartphone and use FoxFi App.

    Won't work on all phones. Make sure not to go over your data limit.
    I'm granfathered into the unlimited internets with VZW.

    the best way to locate free wifi is to download the wifi scanner app for the android. then you can park anywhere and ##### an internet signal if you so desire.

    Welcome and congrats!

    I use PDAnet for my android. It is supposed to mask the tethering as well, since that may be frowned on by certain providers.
