Fixed it. Throw out the Nighthawk and get something commercial grade like the Peplink BR1. In these situations where you have very limit LTE connectivity with high noise you need something with the processing power to deal with it like your iPhone does. The Nighthawk doesn't have the power. the BR1 does although it's 5x the price of the Nighthawk. Just upgraded to the BR1 with nothing different and having rock solid connectivity and continous uptime.
