Millis Transfer Experience

Most loves and pilot/flying J offer WiFi for small fee that's supposed to be able to use from parking lot in truck. It's extremely hit and miss. Some spots are good while others your lucky to stay connected 5mins.

 

Asphalt is for racing. Dirt is for planting crops.

 

Pilot / Flying J has free basic WiFi inside their stores. The free service does not go beyond the building itself. For a fee you can reach beyond the store into the parking lot or if you want high speed WiFi that is extra too. My experience is in store is ok but out into the parking lot at any brand is mostly useless. I paid once for an hour of service at a Loves and it was worthless. The logging in process takes several minutes which goes against your time and after that it kept dropping out etc... It also made me log in each time after it dropped out. Complete rip off as most truck stops are.

I would not do it again. You are better off spending your money on additional or better data service on your phone or device of choice. You may have spotty service from time to time depending on your carrier and where you happen to be at any given time but it will be far more reliable and cheaper than truck stop WiFi.

 

I find a large phone is a great tool in the truck. My iphone 6plus is my gps, scanner and fax machine on the truck. I know others at other companies that use it as their alternative to the qualcomm. (either their phone or their tablet connects to the truck via bluetooth using the JJ Keller system) It also is entertainment. An unlimited data plan is a must.

 

Congratulations, keep tour eyes a day ears open during training. Hopefully you'll get a good trainer who looks at you as a student and passes along his knowledge of trucking to you.

Good luck and be safe out there.

 

Congratulations! Be safe, learn a lot, have fun, see ya on the road....

 

Well done, sir
