I thought most euro units came with bluetooth now? My 11 plate volvo did or did the boss actually spend out lol. I know what you’re saying there mick I just don’t get why they wanna look like they just stepped off stage with madonna. I used the bluetooth on my tom tom in my 07 volvo that wasn’t to bad. As for the noise they even worse with the retarders on. Had an KW pass me the other day he mustve been doing 70 - 75 mph his engine sounded more like a heart beat and that’s with my windows up

I recently changed to a Freightliner and could use the phone fine, even at 65mph, but am in a loaner Pete now, and can’t use it at all.
The ones who look like you describe are still not as bad as the retards who park on fuel islands after fueling! We saw one return to his truck on an island (not pulled forward) with a maccy d and he proceeded to get in the back and shut the middle curtains to enjoy his lunch… pure a holes, and there’s plenty like that over here.
Got stuck behind one like that in St Clouds Pilot bout a month ago. I pulled up he was no where in sight I thought great ill get straight on. 10 mins later he walks out the building then starts to fill up, by then I had just got on a empty pump walked passed him n said thanx for nothing arse all he could do was stand there and look as if he had done nothing wrong, at same time another driver who seen what happened walked upto the kid (he looked about 18) and informed him how easy it was to pi$$ people off lol

Do some drivers insist on walking round services etc with their blue tooth glued in the ear? Over here the ones they go have a big boom mic like they wear in call centres. Yea we can tell your a driver you don’t need to advitise it and look a pr*ck while you’re at it
Out of interest? Did you tell him he looked like a prick? Or did you do the british thing and just bang away at a keyboard?
One is to polite to walk up to a bloke one does not know and tell him he looks a pr*ck and not really wanna wastemy one 20 min break a day

After a while, taffy will realise that they don’t look like pricks to fellow Americans, it’s only us brits who think that, but some may think the British look like pricks wearing their football shirts and having their national emblems emblazoned all over their trucks, even though they will say that the UK is crap and they are glad to see the back of it! Lol

Aint that the truth!
I can’t understand why anyone’s bothered by what other people wear. If it’s not hi-viz vests, it’s dirty t-shirts, filthy trainers and now, [zb]ing Bluetooth headsets!
It’s one of my pet gripes too ! Not just walking round truck stops but anywhere I see them, Guys walk round at work and I think they are talking to me then notice the stupid bluetooth thing stuck in their ear.
I don’t wear one because I don’t wanna look like a Borg.

Too right mate, your 20 mins is too valuable to speak, after all you do have to wander round looking for other people to criticise
