    What I did on my Vacation from Expediting

    Self Protection

    I have a Carry permit for pistols for a lot of states. I would like to be able to keep one in the truck with me, but from what I understand, it is not legal in a commercial vehicle. :( I think the person suggesting a flair gun, was saying use it to shoot AT a person, not in the air.

    Keeping warm in the truck without idleing seems to be a big problem. I have foun a solution that works for me.

    wireless internet options

    Depends on the card. All come with a built in antenna, but some will allow you to remove that antenna, and attach an external one. Mine sits on top of the truck box, and extend my range by quite a bit. Aviator
