More on staying connected...

With our 12+hr long haul swings up and down the country recently and still having to manage this new and rocketing business, I had to find a way to still communicate.
I downloaded a few different apps but they would only do one thing well, and not much else. In the end, I went back to "Hey Google". The first time I downloaded the assistant, I found out that Tech Rage is worse that Road Rage but I persisted and now we have a patchy but functional relationship that has cut my need to pull over by 90%!
Having blue tooth on the stereo helps immensely too so in future, any vehicles we buy will have bluetooth installed - safety first - sweet sounds second!
A few of our drivers have those mic/ear piece gadgets. How much does this cut down phone interaction?
Any other tips we'd find helpful?
What do you do?
