In LTL we drive in a lot more diverse traffic. Is it just in Omaha, or do way too many truckers have a cell phone plastered to their ear? Like 4 wheelers, when someone is driving too slow,wandering out of their lane, or changing lanes without signaling, I've started assuming they're talking on a cell phone. Way too often, I'm right. With bluetooth's so cheap, there's no reason. Why and what to do?

I don't know what to do about it but I've noticed it as well. Aside from safety, the fines alone are enough to keep a phone out of my hands while driving.

IF the #### Dispatcher will PUT that stupid phone down and leave those freaking drivers ALONE. In peace and quiet.....
That's like walking into a retail store where everyone intercoms everyone else over the PA system if the object of the message is two cashier lanes over. -
I run a truck, not a ###### call centre. My dispatcher has gotten good at leaving me text messages. I check my phone between stops.
On a side note, I do have customers that want to contact me directly and bypass my company desk jockey... So yeah, I'll be on the phone when I am driving. While cell phone use is highly frowned upon and illegal in our career field, as a professional driver I feel it is no different than law enforcement who is entirely exempt from local or state law.
Tough titties, most P&D does not run Qualcomm. It is what it is.x1Heavy Thanks this. -
