    There is free wifi at the the new truckstop in Alexandria, MN at exit 100...It is called Pipeline and that is what you type in for acess there. If you go there, just say Harry Carr sent you there. It is also the new home for the Peterbult of Alexandia as well.

    I am about to step into the 21st century I reckon by adding a laptop to my zero technology equipped truck. What size invertor will i need and where are the FREE wifi places in and/or around mainly the southeast please? Is there such a thing as an antenna for a wifi equipped laptop not unlike a cellphone external antenna?
    It seems as if all the free places listed are for you drivers that drive in the areas I have sworn off.
    Thanks in advance for any advice and recommendations.

    The new service centres in Ontario have Wi-fi, for sure the ones at the Tilbury onroute Eastbound and Westbound and the eastbound one has a currency exchange too. That is the 401 Eastbound between exits 56 and 63 in Tilbury (about 45 minutes from the Detroit/Windsor Border) in Ontario Canada. Hope that helps.

    What this ancient article FAILS to mention is that half of these places require to you to get out of your ### out of your truck and go inside the building. What truck driver wants to do that? I want WIFI INSIDE my truck. I don't mind paying for it, if it isn't as lousy as T/A's WIFI. Someone should start a post of ALL truck stops/service plazas that offer WIFI...nevermind the tightwad truckers out there.

    I walked into a Denny's at a Flying J. Held up my i-phone and asked the manager if they have free wi-fi like McDonalds or Panera Bread. He said no, I said I am leaving, and I did.
    Do that enough times and they will get the message.

    Iowa 80 truck stop. Walcott. Use in truck. Good signal if you park in right spot. Best I found is right as you enter the parking lot, to the left.

    Farris Truck Stop exit 35 on I-29 just south of St. Joe, MO has free wi-fi in the parking lot. Signal and speed are pretty good and they have decent food. I-80 exit 201 in Brooklyn, IA has a Kwik Trip with free wi-fi in the lot and also has a decent restaurant.

    Whites in Raphine, Va (I-81 exit 205), but I was barely getting a signal in the truck near the fuel islands.

    Liberty Truckstop on I-77 in WV, exit 170. Barely got a signal in the truck, but seemed to work great inside. Really nice strip club on property, if you need something other than internet to keep you occupied.
