    Need to get used to no phone policy, I did it it was difficult in the begging but then you get used to later on

    Can you use your phone when the truck is parked?

    Man, was thinking of driving for them but not even letting you use a headset is a little extreme.

    We have tried to tell them that.
    As their workforce retires they will need to change the policy.
    For us old timers it doesn't really bother us because we've (me anyhow) only had a cell phone for the past 16 years or so and can go a day without if I leave it at home, but the younger cats coming up have never NOT had a cell phone and we are seeing it now, that they got to work elsewhere because of the phone policy despite the total compensation.

    The cameras in the truck will record everything you say, so I wouldn't even make personal calls if I could.

    I had an interview with Air Products and they have a no phone period policy. If you need to use your phone you must pull over and park in a safe area.

    What terminal? If you have any inside questions I’m a current AP driver. Best of luck regardless of what your choose.
