    had 4g on both phones in wendover nevada state line. signal has been up and down on both phones but neither disappeared. from salt lake to wells.

    in wells nevada. we're surfing the net with no problem. but neither phone from either carrier can seem to get a ping to run the test.

    we gots signal. that's all i can show or say.

    Heading your way tomorrow. Got a load of CAT Skid steers. 3 dropping in SLC Ut and 2 in Missoula Mt.

    I will post results along the way.

    Currently I'm at the T/A in Wytheville Va.

    Sprint is better than many cellular services out there. But compared to Verizon's service, based on your tests, Sprint not looking so hot.

    I picked up a load of Steel sheets this morning in Cleveland, Oh. Deliver tomorrow in Denton NC. Whole way along I77/I64.. never lost signal. Pandora stayed on the whole time. I thought for sure it would drop dropping down in some of the Valleys,.. nope,.. signal hung in like a boss.

    When I lived in Fla and was on Sprint I loved it. Great signal,.. but I didnt travel that much. Now that I do,.. I cant brag enough about Verizon.

    you need to get a sprint phone. since i won't be traveling that way with this company. i already now how verizon is. LOL.

    taking brick back home. don't what happened to those containers i was supposed to haul to the army base in tooele.

    don't know what my reload is, but i have a hunch. park the truck and head home for the 34.

    your cheapest fuel this side of the rockie mountains, is in tremonton, where the 84/15 split off. just don't be stealing my load when you stroll through town though. :biggrin_25525:
