[QUOTE="hypocrisy, post: 827761, member: 9500"] Yes read your contract. That's subsection B of Section 8, of which a,b,c,d, and e all apply only to C.B. radios in Feeder tractors. If you read above the CB radio section, in the second paragraph it says "Applicable laws regarding the use of cell phones while driving will be followed by all employees while driving Company vehicles. The use of cell phones by other employees will be with the approval of the Employer." The intent of this language was to allow Drivers to have cell phones and allow for changes in the law regarding their use e.g. California's hands free only law. If the Company pushes a no cell phone rule, just [I]act collectively[/I] and refuse to use them under any circumstances. If asked to call in, find a pay phone and use 1-800-COLLECT. Imagine what that bill would look like... Since they aren't trying anything like that with our work group, we use our cell phones liberally to help our operations (which goes along with the principles of Acting Collectively) with few exceptions. We even have our dispatchers personal phone numbers and use those when dispatch is lit up plus texting. Funny how far a little cooperation will go. Our dispatchers would be missing pickups and air pulls left and right if we had a cell phone ban. Outta, I never touch the nasty black phones. You don't have a direct line into dispatch? [/QUOTE]
