Do Most Company trucks have WI/FI or Internet connection ?

If you stay away from the chain truck stops, you can usually get your wifi for free.

 

Like Iowa's fine rest areas.

 

My experience with Pilot's Wandering Wifi is not very good. Don't really ever get a decent signal unless I'm right up close.

I have one of those USB mobile devices from Virgin Mobile, pay $20 for 1GB/month and that has lasted me almost 3 weeks so far, but I don't do a lot of interneting, hardly have time to get on here as it is. It's also $50/month for unlimited. I get signal 99% of places I go to, sometimes a good signal, sometimes not too good. Sitting here at the back of Huck's in Mt. Vernon, IL and getting full signal.

 

i have verizon mifi expensive but i have only had one place it hasn't worked in last 6 months
I am addicted to being online helps me feel like I am still connected to the world at large

Right now I'm using the browser on a company supplied Blackberry . They gave us Blackberrys. So drivers wouldn't tie up dispatch phones . The Blackberry is also paired for e-logs.
You should get. An aircard rather than depend on truckstop wifi . The signal is poor since most went to Wandering WiFi . Flying J was great until they sold out to Pilot . A few truckstops have free wifi but not many . McD's have it and sometimes you can. Get a signal from a nearby hotel.
