[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 294768, member: 12570"] I carry a cell and have found it to be both useful and a PITA. It is useful in that I use it to call ahead on CODs and to get clarification on bad addresses. I also have certain customers whom I have given the number to as they like to get their stuff earlier than I can get to them and they meet me on the road, which helps both of us out. My center team used to call me quite often until I asked them to limit the calls to emergencies and to use the ODS that they spent so much money on. I have 2 children (20 and 23) and we are all on Verizon phones so all calls between us are included. It is nice to know that they can reach me if they need to because, as some of the older drivers can attest to, calls to the center are not forwarded to us as quickly as we may like. I can recall once when my son was 4 he had fallen off the monkey bars and busted his chin open. My wife (now ex) had called the center but they didn't bother telling me about it until I got off the road. A fellow driver had the same thing happen to him, except that his kid had broken his arm. This is why my signature is: [/QUOTE]
