Also as GMAN pointed out, with the truck stop service you only get it at the truck stop.

I pay I think $59 a month but with taxes it comes to about $70 but it's unlimited. Very happy with it so far.

That's what I got and I'm very happy too. I hear people say Sprint's is better but their voice service blows IMO. Many dropped calls even with 5 bars.

Right now I'm in Obetz (Columbus), OH and it's smokin' fast.

I'm in an http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSDPA 3G/HSDPA area.

Well heres what I can tell you. There is no wi-fi at Atlanta, Indianapolis, West Memphis or Charlotte.
They have an ad-hoc network that is damn near impossible to get on, as it stands you can use dial-up via your ISP.

I've noticed over the last few days, reading and learning about driving, that there are many driver's who use the internet.
A few??
a) can you use a laptop on the road thru qcom's service-I know nothing about the qcom system

Me niether, I used the Verizon wireless card for internet. I got access anywhere I got a cell phone signal.

b) do truck stop's have access ports or wi-fi enabled site's?

Flying J has wi-fi.

I'm new to the board, and have started filling out applications for student training.
I like what i've seen with TMC, -is it really possible to make even close to 60k the first year-

Sure, if you run your ass off and never go home... otherwise figure 30 or 35k if your lucky.
