The OTR loneliness

From the other side/Point of view as the person at home.
Yes I know you are lonely and bored...me too. Being home alone suxs too. My ex did OTR for a short while and while he was training it really was tough plus I work from home so I really don't get out too often.

Now I am with someone who drives locals home every night but lives in a different state.....go figure....

This place is great to pass the time and meet people and I agree-talk to people in T/S-see if you can meet up with TTR members , get a good cell plan and call up your friends and family, email, facebook etc. Today there are so many ways to stay in touch that drivers did not have a few years back.

 

very true sammycat

 

being alone is the hardest part for me to .would love to find a copilot to ride with me .i beleave i would be much better at it if i could .

 

all i need is a laptop with some good adult videos on them.
Wi fi at the truck stop would be great too.

do most truck stops have wi fi?

 

Really????? Let us know how that goes if & when you do that.

 

When I started as a new driver in my co. I had to team for 6 months. First I thought that would help me in almost all aspects of my job... but after my first 3 weeks teaming I realized I could do much better on my own. Had 7 partners in 6 months. I enjoy being solo and would rather quit a co. than having to team again.

 

Yeah but they charge for it.
Borders, Barnes & Nobles, Starbucks and Panera Bread have free wi-fi but they aren't always truck accessable. And you can sometimes get signal from hotels, but they're getting wise and pass-word protecting their signal and keying it to the customer's room.

I do appologize to the Panera in Wooster OH though, the comapny gave me an addy but no directions. Pretty flagrently I pulled up outside their resturaunt to Mapquest a buisness in town and check satilite images for low bridges.

 

Verizon has a new wireless aircard with unlimited gigs for 60.00 a month. No need to keep mooching off of other wifi locations unless you can't afford an aircard,lol./
With an aircard you can access the internet almost at any location depending on the signal strength.

 

dont want to team just want someone to ride with me .keep me company i will drive and i will earn the money lol didnt say it would happen just would like it better

 

They are not unlimited. They are at 5g.
