Hey community members! I am a new 18 wheeler driver that loves my video games! Sadly though I am running in to a horrible issue of not being able to find a good ISP/internet solution so that I can consistently play them. Has anyone an issue similar and know of a good way to get internet, or have any good idea to try?

I would recommend a cellular network modem. Example can be found, here.

this might be a good reason to try a starlink system, you'd spend a minute or two adjusting the dish each time but then it would have the speed benefit over any LTE service provider.

Are you within the US? You could get something like this, but it runs on the T-Mobile network, so I don't know how well the coverage will be for you.

See if this would be something you're interested in.

I will look more into this and see if I can find more reviews, but this would be one of the best solutions. Thank you so much! Most of the "solutions" for mobile internet i have found via quick searches give run around answers instead of just a simple "this product, these items, now fixed".

I will check them out and talk to their support. A big issue I have found though has been getting a cell modem that has better range then just a basic cell phone along with an unmonitored sim. They do mention antenna solutions antenna and might have good product suggestion for sims. Thank you for the suggestion!

I will check them out for sure! The t-mobile coverage would be the main issue though as I have found that while their coverage map shows a massive amount of the US. Its not reliable and I had even swapped from t-mobile to verizon for that reason as a cellphone provider. But even just a chance at a non monitored connection would be better than my cellphones hotspot which cost 35$ for only 5gb of extra data.

I woukd love to try starlink, sadly though it does not support mobile use. One all the support pages in have read through they say they are actively getting mobile use support, but its not possible now with specific areas being tied to your system instead of just a general signal the system can pick up.
