[QUOTE="mrbrownstone, post: 1519433, member: 53460"] I guess my questions were incorrectly phrased and or not read correctly. In my state it is technically illegal to have anything stuck or mounted to your windshield. While, I do have a suction cup mount for my cell phone in my personal vehicle and have never been stopped for it, I'm surprised feeder drivers in my hub get away with it since it is technically illegal. Now, from what I understand it is considered a secondary offense so police won't stop you for this alone but can cite you for it if pulled over for something else. If I mounted my phone to my package car windshield for gps purposes which would be great for Sat Air, I would probably be written up for violating UPS's distracted driving policy. Also to rephrase what I had previously mentioned, in the large hub that I work for, I am constantly observing other UPS drivers on the road and most of the feeders I see stop very close behind other vehicles at intersections, much closer than a car length. Lastly, whenever I back in the yard in my package car I beep my horn as taught. In my daily observations this isn't the case for feeders, some do, most don't and I think the jockeys almost never.
