Am I the only truck driver without a bluetooth headset?

No more distracting than listening to music on the radio or having a rare actual conversation over the cb.

 

No, I don't have one, either.

I like to make dispatch wait for my return calls, and Mrs Skillet doesn't like to bother me when I'm driving.

 

Why? I am gonna talk whatever .****** language I want to and wherever I want to and this is none of your ****** business.

 

I don’t have one. I don’t anyone interrupting my “zone” when I’m driving

 

My guess is rare earths.

You can drive those with very exceedingly rare metals from more hostile lands around this planet.

I have a feeling when we hook onto rocks past Mars we might find a abundance of everything. Remember even stars go through the periodic table metals as go to failure in some cases.

 

I guess it's an Amish thing (not keeping up with technology I mean)...not having something that makes life a little easier like a gps, bluetooth or smart phone to me is like saying "I don't want any of that new fangled air ride, a/c, power steering or any of those wussie single stick transmissions." For me, I've driven all the old stuff (except the 2 stick trans) with and without air ride or a/c, and I have waited in line for a payphone (and had my own 800 number at home)...I welcome any technology that makes my life and my job even a slight bit easier or more convenient...of course, as often as technology fails me...I have threatened to grow my beard, put on a black hat, shed my modern ways and become Amish more than once. So, who am I to talk.

Btw, in my truck I currently have 3 bluetooth headsets(I left the 4th...and best one, at home), 2 phones, a GPS, 2 tablets and a wireless printer that talks to my phone and both tablets...technology is my friend...and if you see this glowing mass moving across a truckstop after dark, it's probably me, glowing from all the wireless radio waves my body has absorbed. Oh, and I also have a bluetooth wireless keyboard connected to my company's Peoplenet because it's touchscreen doesn't always like my touches.

 

This is good and I have a Blue Parrot...but it stays in the truck. I don't need to talk while on the toilet nor at Denny's. Come on guys. Yes technology is good, but we are not trading stock on Wall Street. Please I beg you, stop having conversations while sitting in the neighboring stall. I really don't want to hear it.

 

I would hazard a guess most posts here are done in washrooms. Time is of the essence.
