Why would any trucker even consider being on the phone
by: Anonymous

After your 1300 dollar fine and the trucking authority fine of 12000 yes that is 12 thousand dollars.

So your authority? Its 12000 dollars, if your a company driver your company gets a 12000 dollar fine.

It will go on your DAC report even if you are Able to get off your driving record.

I don't know why ANY trucker would even consider BEING ON THE PHONE WHILE DRIVING. Its well known how harsh the fines ARE.

If you are a company driver it may haunt you for years. Good luck and stay safe on those roads with your phone down.
