    He is the same way with me. I just usually call josh or rick if something like that happens so they can note it for Kevin.

    Hard brakes are going to happen. There are too many dipschit 4 wheelers cutting us off, it will happen. Be glad I avoided a effing accident even if I did have to slam the brakes to do so.

    This alone makes the case for a dash cam facing traffic.

    I would tend to agree, but in my case (not sure about his) the "hard brake incident" I had wasn't hard enough to set the camera I had in my truck off (installed by the company, not my own), so all they had to go on was my word vs. what the computer told them. In retrospect, I probably should have slapped the button, but I didn't think I'd face such difficulty trying to give my side of the story.

    Facing traffic yes but they don't do that. They put one in that watches us for no reason at all.

    They gotta know if you fall asleep so they can fire you.

    Clarification: "Your own PERSONAL dash cam facing out."

    Safety: "Yuo did hard break! Y u do that? U gonna get fired!"

    You: "Um, negative: at xx:yy:zz on MM/DD/YYYY, *this* happened, as shown on the dashcam video I just sent you."

    Safety: -sputter-

    You: "Have a nice day!"

    Wow, that stinks, I have had 2 hard breaking sense my short time with Melton, Both times I received a msg, asking if everything was OK, explained what happened, and the issue was dropped, both incidences happened when a 4-wheeler decided to enter the lane directly in front of me and then stop with no cushion
