Plantronics Is The Way To Go!
The federal government just passed a new law, and it directly affects you as a commercial
driver.
Since January 3, 2012, new regulations prohibit commercial drivers from holding
their cell phones while driving. And penalties are steep, with fines and the
risk of losing your license. But there’s good news. You can enjoy your ride, take your phone
calls – and do it all without the risk of getting fined.
Know the regulations and
how they affect you…
For commercial drivers, using a cell phone without a hands-free device is no
longer an option. New federal regulations prohibit it. The fines for breaking
the law are high. You can still talk and drive, but you need a hands-free
device to do it. Plantronics offers award-winning headsets that help you
comply with regulations, while enhancing your hands-free experience.
Regulations
Recently, the federal government passed new regulations restricting the
use of cell phones for drivers operating commercial vehicles.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and Pipeline
and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) have amended
the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) and the
Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) to restrict the use of hand-held
mobile telephones by drivers of commercial motor vehicles (CMVs).
Penalties
Penalties for violating new regulations are serious – for you and your
employer. For drivers, penalties amount up to $2,750 and potential loss
of your license, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation
Federal Motor Carrier and Safety Administration. For your employer, they
face a fine up to $11,000 for not requiring drivers to comply with the law.
Headset Benefits
You’re driving all day, so comfort is a big deal. That’s why selecting a
headset designed for all-day wear is important. We offer the Plantronics
Voyager® PRO HD. It’s a headset that offers ultra-comfort with an
over-the-ear design. The design was developed for serious road warriors,
like you, who spend their days on the road – and on the phone.
Plus, here’s something else to consider – the road is a noisy place. This
makes having conversations difficult. The Plantronics Voyager PRO HD
delivers excellent audio quality, with advanced dual mics and
noise-canceling audio technology that reduce background noise while
retaining the natural sound of your voice. Audio levels are automatically
adjusted based on the noises around you, offering a crisp and clear
conversation. We’ve spent 50 years developing headset technology to get
the sound just right.
