    Thanks DFO. Will something like this kill the batteries while on my 10 hr break in a company truck?

    A couple of non-related questions here (hope its alright)

    What are you guys using for internet? Which is the fastest, has broadest coverage and the most data for your buck? I'm only interested in access with my laptop.

    Also, what kind of bluetooth headset/earpieces are you using for your phones? Which one is the least cumbersome and has the best sound? I've never had much luck with these things.

    Thanks!

    For internet I have a Verizon Jetpack with 4G LTE and 10GB of data. It works great. IMO, worth every penny. I've only had two places where I didn't have 4G coverage. As for bluetooth I don't have one because company drivers are not allowed to have them.

    What kind of deal is Verizon giving you for the 10GB?
    What do you use for handsfree for your phone?

    I have the RoadKing RK300, I think. Works great for audiobooks, and I wear it talking to my old man when I stop for the night. He says it's much better that the Bluetooth in my car, too.

    Also Verizon.
     
    knuckledragger Thanks this.

    $80/month but, like I said, it is totally worth it. Don't use hands free as it is against company policy to be on your phone in any capacity while driving.
     
    moosc and knuckledragger Thank this.

    No these are very efficient, much moreso than the truckstop thermoelectric coolers. I could leave mine on set at 34* for 5 days of hometime in my company truck and it wouldn't trip the low voltage cutoff. The trick is keeping them full. An empty fridge/freezer uses much more power than one that is full. Fill up any extra space with water bottles, etc.
     
    TennMan Thanks this.
