How does it compare to using Verizon? When I did a review on their service, I read a lot of negative comments about them dropping often and slow connections.

Ok, how do you show your co-driver on your taxes? Are they considered a employee? Is your co-driver your wife? In my case, my wife is the co-driver, however she is not listed on the title of the truck and FedEx considers her as my employee.

How did you get an unlimited data plan? I could not find any plans like that on verizonwireless.com

What Android are you using and what carrier?

Hi guys, I want to know what most of the drivers out here use for Internet in their trucks? From my research I have found that most of the major providers, such as Verizon and AT&T, they do not offer unlimited data plans. What they do offer is 5gb plans for around $50 a month. I know 5gb is...

Yeah and to get that plate, do you have to transfer the title to the state you a resident in? When I inquired about that at my local DMV here in Colorado, they told me I would have to pay the state and local sales tax for the truck before getting the apportioned plates.

Hey guys, I am sure some of you have purchased a truck without paying the sales tax when you get your title changed over in your state. How do you find out which states allow you to take the sale tax exemption? I am buying a used truck from the Palmer trucks in Fort Wayne, IN. The salesman...

I think the dealer needs to send the title and lien holder info directly to my state/county DMV To answer the other guy's question. Its a reefer straight truck with a sleeper
