Just want to ask another noobish question. Hopefully at this time 4 months from now I will be on the road. Anyway I am somewhat of a nerd and like to play online games when there isnt anything else to do. I got to wondering if some companies provide internet access in the trucks. I am assuming with todays technology they can do that with wireless routers and Wifi. Or is the wireless just provided at certain truck stops? Also does the sleepers in the trucks have a 110 outlets? I have sleep apnea and use a C-PAP machine so I get a good nights sleep. Anyway sorry for all the questions. I just want to learn as much as I can before I start college. I always like learning as much as possible as soon as possible.
WiFi access?

There will be plug ins. I'm almost sure you will have to provide your own internet access. Some truck stops have it for a fee.
-
Some companies have inverters installed fir 110v, wifi is on you for the most part.

right now I use Clear wireless at $50/month. I'm pretty displeased with the coverage. But I just learned that some of the smart phones can be used as mobile hotspots for internet or tethered to the laptop. (Yes, I'm way behind the power curve on cell phones) That seems like a better option for coverage.

Truckstops have wifi, but you generally have to pay for it.
The no name truck stops (not piliot, fly j, loves TA Petro, go mart) sometimes have free wifi, and its sometimes is fast.
All Lowes have free WIFI. (don't tell anyone, i don't want them getting swamped and canceling it lol) It generally fast enough for netflix and stuff.
Im a flat beder so i'll stop at a lowes for the week-end and i look ledgit.
I also have Verizion wifi, but its not good for anything real fast, especially if your int he middle of no wear.
