Onboard news, info, correspondance.

Most of the guys on here are posting from laptops. You can access WiFi hotspots from most truckstops or you can get a broadband card from one of the cell phone companys.

 

I always had my laptop with me for directions and entertainment. Most all decent sized truckstops have wifi internet you can buy. Also you can buy cards for your cellphone and use that. I found it a must to have my laptop with me.

 

I use a 110 volt adapter in cig lite socket,costs 29.00 at truck stop. I have a sprint wireless card,put it in and go online right away. It works everyplace but out in the country. I pay sprint 59.00 a month,unlimited time limit. Its all tax deductable at the end of the year as is my sprint cell phone,they really have been good to me,when I go over my minutes,it's just 5.00 for 1oo minutes increments.Get a laptop in your truck and like me,you'll wonder how you could go without it.

 

I too can not imagine life on the road or off the road without internet ,especially being able to get all this priceless info offered on the truckers forum,I can tell you for a fact when I was considering Roadmaster you guys told me that tech schools and community colleges were the way to go and I did ,graduated yesterday and will be hitting the road with Service Trucking Inc starting about the 25th and the sprint card will be my way to the information Highway while on the road
