Re: [Distance] Getting online if your a trucker?

Oh, if you are lucky and have a good Truck Driving company, you will be routed close to truck stops (or whoever is driving). My Dad told me a fair amount of the truck stops that he has stayed at have Wireless internet. Most laptops/netbooks have Wireless cards in them already.

Also, my Dad worked with a guy who used a Sprint Wireless Aircard, he mostly used it for gaming.

If you are concerned for the HDD, well you can go with a SSD, but they are quite expensive for a small storage SSD (it works if you only use it for stuff related to truck driving and checking internet pages). My Dad has a regular HDD in a 5 year old Dell laptop used for a GPS program, and he doesn't seem to have too many problems so far (He's had it for about a year now).
