CMV Cell Phone Ban

OOHH HHOO!! They ain't playing around Drivers, 24 days it has been since the Ban on Non-Hands free Cell Phone Use for CDL Drivers.

Fines for Driver up to $2,750 dollars per offense

Fines for Companies allowing drivers to use Non-Hands free cell phones up to $11,000 dollars per offense.

My bet is that they are serious on this one cause I paid $252 for not changing the addressee on my drivers license. "oops"

Well company drivers, you know what this means right? Your company will now be forced to provide you with a company phone with Bluetooth technology or some other device such as Qualcom or on board computer.

The States have three years to adopt this Federal Regulation but "Oh Snap" Guess What? Texas has already adopted it. Go figure.............

Proudly I announce that I bought a Blue Parrot Bluetooth Headset in Oct 2011 and have been using it faithfully since. I love it! Don't know how I ever lived without it. I'll keep my $2,750.00 "smackarooos" for myself thank ya very much.

Has your state adopted the cell phone ban for CMV licence holders yet?
Comment with your state, share the news.
