    Believe it or not I was about 80% decided on SNI . Not saying I'm not still but need to do a little rethinking as to this development . I was down to SNI or LS and was definitely swaying in the SNI direction due to simplicity of the board and no agents etc .

    How struct are they in this no headset ( hands free ) on the cell deal .

    I can can handle not doing it in the yard or even 10-15 miles from a yard but not all the time unless the truck is stopped thing .


    Do they do like Walmart and make you sign a waiver to release your phone records at any time or us it just an official / I unofficial rule. ?

    Thanks

    i got no issues with playing by the rules or running legal on a EOBR but in today's time and tech it's asking someone to go back to the 80's before cell phones . People are just used to making calls now days and answering . I do nothing without a hands free so I'm even cool with that..

    On a second note

    schneider wrote the fmcsa about 6 months ago or so about how it was a unfair advantage that they went to EOBR logs before most and now with capacity shortages in some markets are unable to stay competitive service wise ( on time ) with the companies that are not on EOBR and hence asking the fmcsa to mandate them sooner .

    I xan can see this being another quick step to the same when drivers are not willing to give up the liberty of making a hands free call .

    Plenty of drivers use hands free while driving. Just don't get caught.

    what they dont know...... PLENTY of company and IC alike have them on their heads at an OC. Just dont be seen actively using it while driving.

    as of now no they dont make you sign that kind of agreement.

    Just don't be driving when you call Schneider.....

    And don't be talking when you have an accident...

    Other than that, it's all good...
