    What do you wish that you had while you are out on the road that is not currently available to you?
    Internet, cell phone, etc. are obviously already covered. But is there anything that you wished you had that to your knowledge is not available to you?
    Product or Service..

    World peace, a million bucks and the love of a beautiful woman. :yes2557:

    The only things I really dare hope for are smooth roads, light loads and two ply toilet paper.

    I'm looking more for ideas of new products or services that could be developed that would be beneficial for a truck driver, to make life on the road as much like home as possible.
    You mention Satellite TV, did you know Flying J is working on a TV network at their truck stops that will transmit like 70 channels into their parking lots..
