    I am taking my laptop. I dont have my sprint card yet, so I will have internet but not anytime I want it. Hotspots, motels things like that I should be able to get on. After I come in from my trainer I will pick up my Sprint card, since CRST does run teams the truck will be moving most of the time so if I want on I'll have to be able to get it while my co-driver keeps us moving. So yea I will have it but limited access.

    I think most large companys put a limit of 2 weeks as the shortest period between breaks. For weekly time off, you need to be in a regional or dedicated fleet. I'd say that over the years, I average about 3 weeks out. My longest was 6 weeks, but I was specifically saving up earned time off to add to my vacation time. With a dedicated fleet, I was home every 2 weeks like clockwork for almost 3 years.

    1 day off for every week out is pretty standard for most OTR's
