[QUOTE="Steelheader, post: 188290, member: 1814"] We did the "no cell phone usage" while vehicle is in motion. But nothing about a bluetooth. I hate talking on the phone, and HATE having it to my ear (cell or house phone). I prefer to wear an earpiece, and always have. How could they prove you were on the phone. Plus, most of the new bluetooths/earpieces allow you to hear as well. I always wear my bluetooth, and they have not once said a thing about it. Onto the radio. It's allowed by the contract. I doubt there would be ANY state law saying you can't have a radio in your vehicle (would be alot of vehicles having to be yanked out of service). Onto location of the radio, I have mine HEAVILY bungied in over my head near my vent in these service supports that are mounted for other things (think they were the router cable holders for the old DVA units). My radio does not budge, is out of sight and out of my view of the road. I only use mine a couple hours a day when I'm running my resi's. I'm more out of the truck then in it when I'm doing my business area. Plus, can't see why UPS would not want us to have them. I've found, especially in my resi's, if I have my radio going I have a good beat and my pace steps up. See that as an increase of stops and a benefit to UPS. Heck, police units have a few different radios (and computers) in their vehicles, I think they survive and are safe. [/QUOTE]
