    Don't waste your money on truck stop wifi. I bought a one year subscription my first year out and it was horrible.

    Rarely worked in the parking lot. Had to keep re-logging in every so often. And SLOW, did I mention that? It's stinking slow!!!
     
    Kara Fox Thanks this.

    I would caution against the Verizon Jetpack...it is a horribly expensive approach, limits on the gigs you have, and contracts apply. I should know, I recently left the OTR stint I was on, but can't cancel the Jetpack until the contract is up...I'm not liking that!

    You can cancel it.
    Just have to pay a fee to do so.
    Pretty common if you sign a contract and want out of it there's a cancellation fee.

    Or don't pay it and it can go on your credit.
