Is there Wi-Fi you can have on a truck while driving

video skype is going to cost you an arm and two legs

i think its about 1 gig for ten minutes or something close to that (i may be wrong) when i looked into it, there would be no skype while i was away from home

 

Yeah thunderf4 the truck stops have Slooooow internet, with all the bad connections and truckers already on the same internet connection. Use your phone for a hot spot it's safer and if that's to slow I guess you will have to buy a network card from sprint or someone. You should not have to edit the videos over the web just send them when your finished but I think that's what you meant anyway. What video editor do you use because I do some of this also and just wondered ???

 

I'm just gonna jump in a sec and say this: The reason noobs have so many stupid accidents is they haven't learned how to process the information coming to them in a timely manner. They operate in a state of information overload, and are continually "behind" the truck in their thought process. If you really believe hands-free adds no distraction, please quit school now. I've been at this a day or two, and there are still occasional times I hang up the headset to pay attention. And my built-in CPU operates at a higher frequency than most, way higher!

Don't just blow off Pete because you think he's an old fart! He is, but he also has a valid point.

I offer this next bit of info rather tentatively as I don't wish to seem if I'm encouraging such habits. But if you are doing any of this stuff while rolling, at least be smart enough to get the screen up on the dash, where it's not far from your normal line of sight. Looking at a screen in the passenger seat removes the road from all but the extreme edge of your peripheral vision, and is a recipe for a major Charlie Foxtrot.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming on the Noob Knowitall Network!

 

Yeah man I do agree with that about the hands free thing . I find myself on the phone sometime ( hands free ) talking to my dispatch and all of a sudden I stop talking ......... I STOP talking ........ My mind has changed gears and I'm concentrating on the road and whats going on all around me because of something happening. Then in a sec I'm back to the conversation like changing gears again....... Yeah man it take a special mind set to do all this and keep yourself from getting numb to all around you and in a trance like state.

 

ok i am sorry too I get skeered by all the foolishness I see around me

for me a mifi from verizom gives me the best internet connection on a regular basis
but i am sure there are other cheaper ways to go

and a blue parrott headset is the industry standard judging by all the martian looking drivers walking around the TS
and yes i shut off everything often including the radio in traffic or weather conditions
we tend to forget after a while these trucks are 70 feet long and an 80000 lb disaster waiting to happen


was the same way when i ran my swordfish boat hundreads of miles at see in 50 mph winds
people would say isnt it dangerous???
of course it was but i had done it forever didnt feel that way to me didnt make it less thou
