    Its your money and I certainly am not going to tell you how to spend it but buying a year of wifi at the truckstop is a bad investment. The speed is not worth the money you will spend. There are some threads here that talk about it as well. You are better off finding stops with McDonalds and even some of the Denny's at the J have free wifi

    I currently use Verizon for cell/data. For Verizon customers, the Jet-Pack is only a 20.00/unlimited fee. I have used the jet-pack when my home net has gown down or when switching providers and the speeds were anywhere from 20-54mb/ps. You might want to check it out. Just a fyi.

    I thought about Verizon recently. I dont need the phone service but I am curious about their internet devices. Im going to look into it soon.

    Monday I switched back to do regional again. Think I may stick with it until I finish my second year with Swift.

    Glad to hear you are still going strong. I take my DMV test on the 26th. I am currently enrolled through a local college for training and with their great contacts I hope to get into the Drayage business. I'll follow up next with the good news, I hope. :)
