    I use my galaxy s4 for my internet. I use the phone as a wifi connection. I have t mobile with "unlimited" internet.(they dont tell you it unlimited internet on the phone only) however back on point with the right software its always unlimited :) i refer you to google tethering. I have found that the internt in the TS is always slow and you can never really get a solid connection. FYI on the road i use about 24GB per month but i stream home tv shows :)

    Not yet. I haven't given then any test results yet. I'd like to get a full 90 days of data first with a good assortment of trailers and destinations.

    yeah,at&t told me using Netflix watching 2 movies a day burns about 1.5 gb a day (HD movies), so that'd be about 45gb a month just for Netflix. the phone bill would be north of $425 which made my wife (AKA The CFO) almost yak. not really going to be using Netflix, but I figured it would be a close comparison to using the ps3. Steel, the MPGs going up on every trip you've taken so far would be enough for me to want one ASAP. Can't imagine in what situation you would get worse MPG than a non flowbelow tractor...

    I thought there was a built in tethering function on the s4 already?

    Yes and no. the yes is that it does have one however that is how t-mobile tracks the usage. I use a different one so that i can have unlimited for no extra :)

    The carrier code is CJHT.

    Everything else is pretty straight forward.

    TA/Petro's wi-fi is awesome compared to the likes of Love's, Pilot, and Flying J.

    I turn wi-fi on my phone and idle around until it gets a solid signal then grab a spot in that area, then fire up the laptop or tablet.

    I am also on the T-Mobile network with my own trick to fool the system into thinking I'm using the phone when I'm connected with my laptop (VPN), but I prefer Interstate SpeedZone (TA/Petro wi-fi) when I can get it.

    The Fred Meyer DC in Clackamas gives you a copy of the yard rules in English, Spanish, and Russian. Guess they get a lot of Russian drivers here.

    MBM Dallas sucks!!!! Been here 4 hours. Not to mention the Jb DCS drivers just park anywhere, blocking doors and every thing else.

    I'm so mad I wanna smack someone with a fush!
