Let’s talk headsets!

Blue tiger elite. Love it. Comfy, battery lasts long. I've left it on in my truck for 6-10 days just to come back to truck and it connects to my phone. Its not bulky either, doesn't look like brick on my head

 

I use the cheapest Bluetooth you can buy and it works just fine and is tiny. If I wanted to look like I’m taking orders at a McDonald’s drive thru, I’d buy a headset

 

I'm never THAT guy, but cmon now

Bluetooth questions

started just a week ago...

 

When I HAVE to talk on the phone and drive I use my Plantronics 5200. It's small and nobody ever knows I'm in the truck. The noise cancelling capabilities are amazing.

 

Headsets are yesteryear pocket protector.
I don't care who you are, you can't carry on a conversation on the phone and drive at the same time safely PERIOD.
Or are you one of those guys that talk on the phone while you take a dump?

 

Well driver, maybe YOU can't carry on a conversation and simultaneously drive safely.. Who put you in charge to speak for everyone? Talking on the phone and driving isn't that much more engaging than singing along with the radio.. No one anywhere is pulling over to take a phone call, period. Over here sounding like a Schneider safety manager.

The "old" generation of trucking can be a trip sometimes..

 

I had a blue tiger melt at the charging plug. They only have minimal electronics for that to happen...

It's proven fact that you can't do 2 things at the same time at 100%. Can you talk on phone and drive at the same time, yes. Can you do it safely probably not but maybe. Can you drive 80,000 down the road as safe as possible and talk on the phone, absolutely not.
Call me what you like, be super trucker all you want, but that is a fact.
Do I talk on the phone when driving? Yes I do, but only when necessary. I will take a call from the person I am loaded for. I will take call from my wife cause she knows not to call except when absolutely necessary. Everyone else can wait till I stop. My lively hood is worth more than a call from someone of no importance to my job. And I couldn't live with myself if I hurt someone over phone call.
Not trying to tell what to do, its your life.

Edit: Who are you calling old? I'm only 48. But been driving my own truck long enough to know better. 24 years.
