    I ride with my boyfriend and want to work remotely. What is the best way to get internet while the truck is rolling.

    Check Starlink; Musk may have figured that one out.

    It depends on what your remote work requires for access. Some remote work requires a landline, some just requires high-speed internet, and some just requires internet.

    I would look at US Mobile they have an unlimited data plan for $45/mo that connects to the ATT network and also provides unlimited talk & text. US Mobile also lets you switch your connection among the Big 3 cell phone networks (Verizon, ATT, T-Mobile). US Mobile plans usually quote the total price for the plan with taxes and fees included, especially if you pay annually for the plan.

    I have internet service along with my phone plan. Verizon provides a separate unit that pulls in the net almost anywhere. Even out on the high plains. An allowance of high-speed each month, and unlimited slower speed The drawback is the cost. My monthly bill is around $160 a month.

    Why not just get your CDL so y'all can make money as a team. Team Drivers will average 120k a piece annually

    Have a look at mobilemusthave's roamlink. There is a bit of a hardware cost to it but costs about the same as starlink. Roams on all the big 3 networks and a 4th (US cellular I think?) so you'll almost always have service. Unlimited and designed to be used it proper networking hardware.

    Starlink is good if you have a way to mount it. But needs a view of the sky. So going under an overpass will give you a little bit of a blip if that's an issue.
