[QUOTE="Loco170Brownie, post: 490233, member: 21154"] Dannyboy said: There are several issues that also play into what has been posted. The larger radios have been banned at most buildings because of the need of power. Several people have died while messing with the radio's because they were wet with sweat and the radio shorted out. Um, your kidding right? So a sweaty loader went to unplug his/her radio and got fried....... MAYBE one freak accident with the root of the problem being some bad wiring, but several. I hope I am not the only one that didn't buy this one. But more on topic, My understanding when the "no cell phone" rule came out years ago was it was about the buildings and the thought that it could interfere with all the UPS communication devices. Now that was years ago, and as many people have said it is common practice to use them in our Hub and on the road. I do not use mine for work unless it is in my best interest on a personal level. Such as I am trying to get out in time to see my kids game or something and making a quick call, while safely pulled over at a stop, is going to save me time. Now on a normal day I will go through the longer process of sending messages through the DIAD and more often than not with my office get wrong advice, directions, or dispatch. I will not give out my number to management, and only to a couple drivers I know well enough not to be calling me for work stuff all day. [/QUOTE]
