What Headset Do You Prefer

No actually is safer to not talk at all while driving. It's required by law if you want to talk while driving though.

Yes that's why i ask because i don't want to talk on the phone period while driving.

Newbie78 wants to know:

Ok thanks i assume it's for work? Do we need to have them do truckers get a lot of calls while driving?

First of all, when you're driving, holding a hand held communication device is illegal in many places and will end your trucking career faster than a 4 - wheeler can cross two lanes in front of you.

In "hands free" mode, you can receive calls and talk and maybe even make calls. Hands free involves headsets mostly. Some trucks (like my Swift KW) have a Bluetooth setup using the truck radio.

Your DM knows this and shouldn't be calling too often but just might. But when your girlfriend/boyfriend calls, what are you going to do?

When somebody calls me they will simply have to wait. If it's an emergency and they keep calling then i will pull over as soon as i find a safe place. The people who know me will know that my job is a driver and i can't talk driving obviously. I will let them know to simply leave me a voicemail or a text and i will get back to them when i can.

If it's job related then that is a different story that's why i asked do we get calls while driving. If we get a lot of calls then i will get a headset or bluetooth setup.

Most of the time i just receive messages on my qualcomm which it will read for me if i want it to. I never use my phone while driving. It's not that i have a problem with taking calls while driving, i just don't like talking on the phone period whether or driving or not.

Most job related stuff should go as messages on your Qualcomm.

You can't mess with messages while you drive, the QC won't let you. You are able to hear messages read by the QC lady, but that's it. Also, written things don't fade away like spoken memory can.

Same here for the most part but i hate when people only correspond through text messages. Most of the time things can be said quicker through an actually verbal exchange vs waiting for replies back through texting. So a simple quick question that would take 2 minutes on the phone ends up being 15 minutes+ because of texting. Most people who text d ick around and dont pay attention so you wait for a response.
