Music ideas.

[platinum9898]

Hey guys I'm a new driver and am dying of the traffic noise. I was wondering if any one can give me some ideas for having music in the truck. Radio anything that doesn't require headphones. Also is it tolerated by management? Thank you in advance

Muzak should help you remain calm.

Go to Home Depot and buy this

Rechargable battery that lasts 2-3 days with Lithinum 18v battery, great FM reception, so-so AM, plus can connect to mp3 player, ipod
Got one and it works awesome, not too big and easy to bungee down in the truck

Will cost over 100 bucks because of battery and charger but pays for itself. Plus I liked the radio so much, I ended up buying Ryobi battery products for around the house (air compressor, vacuum, weed whacker, hedge trimmer). They make great easy to use products.

PS - I will wait by the mail for my Ryobi endorsement check with this forum advertising plug

Every truck is different. There's an elastic band on the back that holds an ipod, I slip a bungee cord through it and put the ends in the defrost vent holes. Use your imagination but be sure it is secure, you don't want anything falling out of the cab.

I use my ipod with one of the small speakers. It uses three AAA batteries and works great. It is small and hangs in the top of the cab so it is not in my line of sight.

My Sup. has been on the car with me several times while I had it playing. Never said a word about it.

Man, you guys have it nice. If management in my center sees anything that is not UPS sanctioned, they rip it out on the spot. Zero tolerance for any in cab distractions.

Yet every vehicle made in the world has a radio, funny. LOL
If it's somewhere in the truck where you can't touch it while driving, there should be no issue.

 

[32F driver]

The drivers who were affected said the same thing. It wasn't only radios. iPads, a very small tv. a power cord to run a cooler. That's all I know about. Management was very interested to know when the drivers were on their iPads. Standard answer was lunch.

Thank you everyone for sharing your ideas. I might try them all lol.

I was going to try using this method but was unsure about how long those portable speakers lasted. That would be perfect. Do you connect it to the ipod wired or bluetooth?

Article 18 Section 8 states the following

Radios will be allowed in package cars. Such radios shall not inhibit the driver’s view, nor shall they be unsecured.

Never do that. It's caused fires when done improperly so UPS would have a cow.

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 with Rhapsody downloaded tracks and music on my SD card and Bluetooth headphones for listening to music and answering calls. All day long chillin and jamming, music soothes the soul and is therapeutic.

Battery lasts longer with a wire and Bluetooth off. I have the original jambox and it will last all day. But I leave the volume about halfway. Bag jambox will last much longer
