Big truckstops have Wifi. Some also have this thing called Idle Air. There are parking spaces with this big yellow tube hanging. You pull in and shove the tube in your window. For $2.20/hour, you get AC or heat, TV connection, web and phone access for 800 numbers ... and you don't have to let your truck run all night. You have to buy the window adapter thing, too ... $15 and it's yours to keep.
In the old days, truck drivers could get an 800 phone number for their house so they could call from payphones for "free." Now everyone just has a cell phone. And they spend a lot of time on the CB comparing plans.
