[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1219325, member: 14668"] I dont have or need bluetooth. My iphone is in an Otter Box, clipped to the metal lip above the windshield. I can see it and reach it but I do [I]not[/I] use it while the vehicle is in motion. Those who need to reach me during the day can send a text message, which I can read and respond to easily enough at my next stop. Even if I did have one of those Borg looking bluetooth gizmos stuck in my ear, there is no way I could hear it over the engine and road noise while the car was moving. I normally use the DIAD for work related communication, but on an exception basis I will use my phone when the situation is urgent and immediate communication is needed. My supervisor has my number but only rarely and under dire cirumstances will he call me on it. There are times when it is simply in the best interests of everybody for me to go ahead and use my phone, but those times are rare. I dont worry about being accused of stealing time because (a) if Im calling my boss about a work-related issue that happens on company time not mine and (b) on a rural route like mine it is for all practical purposes impossible for them to park anywhere and spy on me.
