    OK, after I finished wiping the coffee off my shirt from laughing so hard...I have to ask:

    Just HOW did you find something like this?

    Maybe we could share other 'open source' WiFi sources.

    I just got a call that my lap top is finished after having a new power cord connector installed. I don't really want to get an 'air card' as I feel that they are too limiting for the monies spent.

    DW and I just upgraded our cell phones and plan to Motorola Cliq's that have full internet access. So I'm ok with using that to contact her after I am OTR...but my lap top does open up new dimensions.

    our place in sayreville is not very big, and parking is limited, and parkin on the street out front leaves u on an angle, and i hate nothin more then parking that way, and its noisy as well, cause they work well into the night there, and the yard truck is noisy too, and he blows his dam horn whenever someone is blocking him, so i went up the road to try and find a nice peacfull spot, and thought that i was using my air-card and didnt realize i didnt even plug it in... one time i made the mistake of telling fellow driver about it, and the next time i was there it looked like watkins shepard moved up the street, trucks on both sides, but everyone kept the spot in front of the tellephone poll open.. my fav spot :)
    i then went around the corner, into kinda a residental area, but a threw street for trucks and found a ton of open wifi spots, and parked there,
    not 10 mins the cops were tellin me to move it along hahaha
    i have a verizon card that they rape me for $60 everymonth, im in contract with it for another 4 months and then i think im going to cancel it, i have a blackberry that again they rape me for, so i think its time to end one or the other...
    when do u start training ??

    Soontobe...I'm still in school. My graduation is March 4th, so I'm getting pretty close and it has been a LONG 5 1/2 months. I'm looking seriously at W/S, and a couple of others too.

    I'll have my Hazmat, TWIC, Passport and probably doubles/triples by then.

    yup, sure is, this is the second time its happend on here, well, the ws thread anyway, hit the red button at the top right corner of his post, report it as spam...

    im guessing ur in All State huh? they charge 10k down there as well? i went to ASC in Philly, rip off if u ask me, however i learned a lot more in 6 months then the 3 weekers thats for sure!. i took a trip to the campus in baltimore when i was in school to return a truck. but that was the only time we left the philly area..

    well if u have any questions about the company feel free to ask, me and other will answer any and all... well, i will, as it seem im the only one who post often... guess everyone is running hard??? i put in 3118 miles this week, sick now, have to slow it down, but getting worse as the days go on, thinking this weekend a reset is in order :biggrin_2552:<~~ about how i feel

    S2B, I'm out of the mud and spending the night outside Chicago on a load to North Carolina. I've been here just over 6 months. Did my 10-day in Conover with Tim and Vern in July and didn't get back there until late December. That's why I was so shocked when I did get back there that Robbie seemed to have absolutely no idea what the hell he was doing, even after a few months' practice.

    At the terminals I tend to head for my truck when the BS starts to fly, and we all know that never takes long. 1758.

    Yeah I'm at Allstate, and yeah they do charge 10K. I'll pay back 6K at 6%, so I've got no complaints over the monies...or the length of the school. I agree I don't see how anyone could do this with just a 3 week CDL mill school.

    Get well, ok?
