Radios or bluetooth speakers in cab?

[Mr.ODD]

Yes, they're allowed under the current contract as long as they don't inhibit your viee. Art 18 sec 8

You can also have disco balls and a DJ.

I got this bad boy, Bluetooth and charges your phone. I attach a 3ah battery, lasts 2 days usually.

If you are at home you can plug it up to an extension cord and run it without a battery.

That is phones and things like that.

18.8 specifies radios are allowed.

There was a radio in my cab every single day of my 31 year career.

 

[pbpa1225]

I personally use a JBL Charge 3 synced with my phone. pandora or Apple Music. I only utilize my AirPods when a call comes through and control my music via my Apple Watch. I have the speaker attached with a small bungee above the driver door in the groove.

 

[Mr.ODD]

I was using zip ties today to secure it under dash by heater but have to find a better method lol

I have a DeWalt unit, uses a variety of their batteries. I did it down with a rachet strap on top of the metal that comes off the dash for the diad holder. Mounts great there.
