Ok, think this maybe a long shot

Not sure if we have some real nerds here or if I have to go to another forum/site to work out my issue. But let me set the stage. I drive and do not have a hard line to the internet like...ever..its all mobile uploads. I upload 4k video in full res [I don't like to down grade my footage] so some of my uploads can hit 30 to 40gb.

I have unlimited 4g lte on my phone, I carry two phones...I would like to connect BOTH phones and use the 4g lte networks on both phones to upload faster, anyone know a good way to do this WITH out a bunch of gear? mind you I'm a truck driver and...I'm driving 90% of the time...

Due to me moving around my upload speed can range from 300kb to 40mbps but normally around 2mpbs to 10mbps, thinking if I can double that...why not lol

[if anyone is wondering I have seen download speeds as high as 80mpbs on 4g lte]
 
Moved to the recording / editing / production / software / hardware forum. :)

Do the phones have wifi ? Could you park near a McDonalds and use the wifi connection to upload faster? :)

I'm using my laptop to do the upload [I use hotspot to connect laptop to cell] I have found that trying to use McDs wifi is a real hit an miss and two...they don't really have room for a semi truck to park in lmao. I really would like to find a way to tie both phones into one network with load balancing so I can upload even when traveling 65mph

right now I'm seeing 5 to 7mpbs while going down the highway at 65mph lol [my student is driving right now]
 
im probably not going to be much help to your actual question. but I also spend much of my time driving a truck. I generally try to avoid uploading mobile. I do get home just about every weekend so I normally do my uploads then and you can then schedule when you want them to go live. so I guess my advice would be to upload as many video's as you can when you have a good connection and then space them out to go live on a schedule.

I do that when I know I will be home but I'm normally out for 2 to 3 weeks sometimes alittle longer since I have no wife/kids. I just got pulled over and I'm about to spend some time looking into this if I come up with anything I can share it here.

Update,
Ok I used wifi to connect to one, on the other I used USB tethering for hard wire connection. Both where connect but only one was being used. I tried bridging them and that did not increase my bandwidth..still seemed only one was being used. Think it MAY have to be 3ed party hardware or maybe software to get the wanted affect. I'll have to put my head to it some more!
