I just received a call today from a driver who was
having to use her cell for company business. She wasnt very happy about it either. Another company
that delivered yesterday radioed the dispatcher who called us. That is they way it should be done.
If the driver calls us then has to call the dispatcher back it is going to cost money on their personal cell. They should be issued a company cell like our company does and the company pays the entire bill.
Would you like us to alert you when someone adds a comment?

Aries

In recent weeks you've been quite concerned about a loved one, and things are likely to come to a head as Mercury turns in your mid-heaven. You may be able to solve the problem simply, which will be a relief all round, but there's a chance that you may have to do some serious thinking or get some expert advice before you know exactly what your next step should be. You may have to take official action of some kind.
