[QUOTE="RockinRobin, post: 1227217, member: 50986"] I can understand why a hard physical job like being a "Loader" would want music. It's like being at the Gym when you are hossing around 50 or 70 lb boxes and building walls in your trailers. Music sure would help. That being said, most hubs do not allow iPods or Cell Phones in and out of the facilities. Like posted earlier, security is there to stop theft. A few bad apples (and stupid apples - not knowing the ESN of the Cell Phones can be traced) spoil it for the rest of the crew and actually steal and try to activate or sell cell phones on eBay. Crazy. iPods are easier because they don't need to be registered, but there may be a hidden ESN on an iPod when you go to the Apple Store (iTUNES) that would trigger a trace to the thief. Not worth it. Some PT loaders I have seen smuggle in their iPods or Cell Phones, and use earbuds. If you are caught, you stand the chance of having them confiscated and security accusing you of theft. Can you prove they are YOUR property? Sure. But you have broken a hard and fast rule. NO iPods or Cell Phones. Just like no Non-Steel-Toe boots. Some dodge this. Crazy. I've had heavy packages fall on my toes. Steel Toe boots saved me. Some Supes look the other way. They are more concerned about getting the job done, and don't worry about earbuds. Some Supes bust you for it. It's a roll of the dice. Still, I'd love music. Wish we could. Supes are allowed to have their cell phones. They are "Registered" with security so we are told. I've never seen a PT Supe with earbuds. They just have the phones for communication... I suppose. :wink2: [/QUOTE]
