    Sadly no. In fact most phones have trouble keeping a good signal inside the drivers area on account of the satilite communications and building siding. There may be a possible WiFi for us in the future but that is up to those in charge.

    Wifi at the DC for drivers is something that has been discussed before (cuz I asked about it recently) and is 'being considered'. Would be nice.
