Virgin has a wireless mifi 4g $55 a month
But if I don't have money to by my own , are you guys saying I'm "#### out of luck " -
Regarding having wifi on the road, I recommend a pay as you go plan. I picked up a wifi from Walmart, and pay about $10 / Gigabyte of download and refill as I need it. For my purposes (not watching a lot of video) I use about $20 per month.
If you have a smart phone capable of accessing the internet, then that is the least expensive way to go. If you want a computer then you really need to have your own laptop. There just isn't ready access to computers on the road. They aren't available at truck stops or anywhere else where trucks can park. -
I'd say that if you can't afford to scrape together $3-400 for a computer and printer, you should be looking for another job.
Just noticed your signature line in your posts. If it's true, then you should have no problems buying what you need at Best Buy or Walmart. -
Thanks wind smith that's helpful

Ok, I'm not asking for me windsmith , please relax , this is a year ion many driver woundering about and haven't asked, please be humble and respectful to the question at hand . I have all my needs in my truck however if someone wanted to apply for a job and the only way for him /her to apply was an online application where could a person accomplish this ? Maybe I should've used this a my initial question in the first post
warrior81 Thanks this. -
In that case, Colleges, Libraries and some job services. -
Think ill go buy 3 or 4 Craigslist laptops for $100 each. Tether them to my phone for wifi, and charge $20 an hour usage at the truck stops at night. Of course ill have to "weather proof" them and hose them down when they're done lol.
MNdriver, Lilbit and Leftlane101 Thank this. -
I have an old phone set up as a tethered modem. Verizon service is a lot 60 a month
