How much trouble is this guy really in???

He will get canned, if he hasn't already, he shouldn't have had it in his hand in the first place. Unfortunately this industry is getting worse with these idiots who can't put the #######phone down and pay attention.

 

Hate to admit it but I finally bought a headset a couple months ago .

 

Most carriers protect themselves from the $11,000 fine by having the driver sign a statement acknowledging that electronic devices are prohibited while driving.

Despite that, I occasionally still see truckers holding their cell phones while driving.

 

That spot where he layed it over is on the curve before Madison ave south of where the new road will be when it's done .
Its narrow and rough for now ...there's houses down over that bank too.

 

Company actually provided that to me, also. Yeah, they work with the antiquated flip fones, believe it or not.

 

I used to work to work for the road dept in pottawattamie co. And that isn't the first truck that's been over that bank .

 

I wonder why he copped to dropping / reaching for the phone.

Drive cam?

 

Was wondering the same. Drive cam or did he fall asleep and decide it was better to say he dropped the phone? Or maybe just honest.
