A poor diet of Scripture is one of the most common errors of the modern believer and it is especially easy to forego when on the road. This is not an excuse for you to do the same.
Accessibility to a translation is not a problem and time shouldn't be either (unless you're running teams.) So get in the habit of reading some of the food God provided for you each day. Make a steady diet of it and you can't go wrong.
If you lack the discipline to just pick up and read a section every day but have found reading plans a pain that you quickly lay aside then I urge you to try Professor Horner's reading system. I've been using it for several months and it has become an integral part of my daily life. Challies has a good write-up on the system.
The most important thing is to read, whether you use a system or not. For those running teams it can be difficult to read while bumping down the road but I encourage you to push through it and pretty soon you'll get used to the jostling (just like you did when you learned to sleep through it.)
I'll also try to put up a little Scripture every day so that if nothing else you'll get a little bite here.
Tomorrow I'll start a little series on the importance of Scripture study based on Psalm 119.
