Disco Ball? I like it!Use another splitter. I use several. Have to plug in my phone, gps, dash cam, tablet, cb, pre-amp, coffee maker, fridge, vibrating back rest, bird dog, and disco ball
Does Hawkins realize that the company NEEDS our phones more than we do?
For instance:
Go to a rail yard and try to find a pay phone.
Guess who calls us when coming in with a "hot load".
Go to a terminal or a customer with no map available. Dispatcher says "use your GPS". Guess where they are!
Most of all, when we break down and nobody stops to check on us, are we to start walking to a truckstop for help?
Yep, phones are bad. Somebody better tell the dispatchers and TM's.
"By the Book" works both ways Kid!!GOOD REPLY...Yeah, quit calling us on the road trying to re-route us because you sent 3 drivers with empties to get 2 loads on a via...OR, you are trying to call us to stop by and pick up loads en-route wile you were originally told to bring the empties to the fuel lanes, OR you are in the middle of receiving instructions at a dark terminal and your battery goes dead on your cellphone and you have NO way to charge it because the USB port is removed!......YES, maybe we should all go back to the old school ways and just call in on a pay phone at a rest area (If you can find one).....This is so damned stupid....punish the 98% who do things right because 2% cannot.....KK
I used the stereo output jack but looks like they hot glued that I just had Volvo and neither where done with glue ran music thru stereo was nice drown out beep ing lol
Darren Hawkins confirms that hot gluing the USB ports is done by YRCF. Broken display for the collision avoidance radar was not. But may have been accidental.
11525 a Freightliner had only 23,000 miles.
The logic behind "VANDALIZING" the stereo is YRCF doesn't want us talking, texting, using smartphones or headphones while driving.
Never mind that with a USB port we could listen to audio books, podcasts, our own music, etc. ON THE IN CAB SPEAKERS. HANDS FREE!
The deplorable lack of understanding of technology is UNBELEIVABLE!
Succinct and 100% accurate.The company tells that they have the best employees in the trucking industry then they destroy the stereos because they can't trust us just says it all
