    Hi everyone,

    I'm considering Prime after a long (more than 6 year) hiatus from driving, and I know a lot of rules and regulations have changed during that time.

    One of the regulations seems to be in regards to cellphone usage. Now, I always used my bluetooth headset back then, but I've seen companies that prohibit ANY cellphone usage while driving now - hands free bluetooth or otherwise.

    What is Prime's policy on phone usage?

    Are you looking to make money or are you looking to be home all the time? Generally the two don't go together.

    Make money.
    But in lieu of being home, I like to be able to talk to my family occasionally, and that's always been an option in the past while using hands-free bluetooth.
    Just seeing if that's an option at Prime - Schneider, for example, says no phone use while driving, period, hands free bluetooth or otherwise.

    Thanks Highway101, much appreciated.

    Go with the BlueParrot 350. The Blue Tiger Elite had too much bass. Lost my company store receipt and had to sell it on eBay. BTW, both are cheaper in the company store than at a truck stop. The first Parrot I got from Pilot was nonoperational. They exchanged for the one I'm using currently no problem.
