    From my experience, The Truckers Report needs to improve its mobile format. 99.9% of my web experience is done on my mobile phone. TTR does not function smoothly on my phone. If it makes any difference, I've used a Hero, Evo 3D, and currently Galaxy s2. My experience has been the same on all three platforms.

    When typing, my cursor may sporadically jump to a different location in my post. Occasionally the screen will jump to the top of the page.
    Text wrapping does not happen causing some items to not fit on the screen properly and having to manually scroll the screen back and forth to read.
    Uploading photos is impossible. I must first upload to Flickr then link. The photo upload/link box does not fit properly on the screen, so it may take several attempts to get to the box to link a photo.

    Maybe it's just me, but these are some of my experiences. And yes, I've tried using mobile & desktop modes. I use "Boat Browser."

    Sounds to me like you need to expand your horizons and use Tapatalk.

    RM is correct. We support tapatalk here. Its a much better mobile format than trying to use a browser.

    Worth installing if you are using a mobile device. :yes2557:

    Making TruckersReport seamlessly display on screens of any size is something we'll do as part of a larger redesign of the site being planned for 2014. In the meantime, I recommend tapatalk.

    Continuous web surfing on a little phone will make you cross-eyed. :)

    Treat yourself to a laptop or tablet.

    It works great on my iPhone! I prefer the web over tap a talk except for posting pics.

    Thank y'all for the response. I've seen users on various forums mention Tapatalk; but I never wanted to bother with third party software. I prefer to deal directly with the site I'm visiting. Guess it wouldn't hurt to check it out. Thanks again.

    The only internet connection I have is my crappy Sprint 3 (and occasional 4)G connection without hotspot.
