    They will never ban smart phones. The world would stop. They are how business is done now. Some business sectors don't use computers anymore everything is done handheld. Everyone under 30 cannot function in day to day life without one.

    Notice how you pull up to a fast food or pharmacy drive thru and they ask you if you will be using the app to make the order.

    You know what, it was more fun back then. With a phone in every driver's pocket and fast food has taken the place of sitting down to a good meal, after fueling and running to the restroom, there is not much reason to even go into a truck stop. No more "socializing", no more sitting at the counter drinking coffee and seeing who could tell the biggest lie.

    No reason to stop at the next truck stop to try to find directions into my next stop, "man" I got a GPS now, I don't have to ask how to get into a place. LOL

    That's not good because team drivers won't be able to use a phone in sleeper berth or solo driver in an emergency.

    If cell phones are banned in trucks, drivers will find something else to get distracted by.
    Guys 25 years ago were getting distracted by Big Gulp cups blocking their view when they went to take a sip.
