Too many truckers these days. How can it be a viable career?

Old heads need to be a little more ... gentle in molding impressonable young ones. The day of pc, no bullying and none of that abuse is long gone... /sarcasm... I hope i wrote this correct.

 

You think like me

 

Cheer up.

 

There are more trucks, however technology is caught up.

With a smart phone you can get streaming unlimited music, up to the minute weather, traffic, parking, etc. You can even play online gaming from the cab of your truck.

40 years ago you were lucky if you got an AM FM radio.

 

Is the internet strong enough for competitive online play? I’ve been looking around to see if the technology is there yet, at least at a reasonable rate.

 

Yep, for me anyway.

I use cricket on an ATT phone so it uses ATT towers. My pings are usually around 100, with 7mpbs up and down in normal areas. That's actually better than the 6mbps and 130 ping with DSL at my house, the fastest available. So I just cancelled the DSL and use the phone for everything. 7mbps is more than enough for online gaming, it's the ping that is most important. I use unlimited data so it's never an issue. I tether the phone via usb cable to the computer, nothing wireless when gaming. Just lay the phone on top of the computer and go to town.

 

Oh man that will be nice if I can just tether and get my daily dose of pubg

 

but them 8 tracks sure were good..until that first bump.

 

Elogs equal more trucks and drivers to do the same amount of work, and haul the same amount of freight as without elog. Think on that.
