    Forward facing doesn't really bother me as much, I've just never dealt with driver-facing before...but since I have a safety term on my record, I'm expecting to deal with it at some point.

    Will the forward facing cams have audio recording abilities? Live mics?

    Just as bad as driver facing cams IMHO.

    Privacy is good...

    I was really on the fence about the outward facing cameras. We have them front facing and one on each side facing back. It seems like every time I get on the freeway anymore there will be at least one car with the driver distracted by their phone that keeps crossing the zipper line. Having those rear facing cameras could really save me some grief.

    I couldn't care less if they listen in...I say some very offensive things at times, and if they're offended, they have the choice to not listen. It's just like when they call me to have a discussion about something. I don't edit what I say on the phone when it's an inbound call. Don't like what I say or how I say it, hang up, you called me. Next time use the Peoplenet and leave me the F alone, or I will let my google assistant answer any calls from Creaffer.

    I'm curious. How easy or hard was it to get a new rim for an onsite repair? I'm assuming you didn't pull that trailer as is.

    I called roadservice they said 1.5-2 hrs before someone would be out. When I called dispatch they got the plant to transfer the load to another trailer but said not to call breakdown back since the rim had to be fixed anyways. Tire guys showed up about 1.75hrs later at 2015 got load after transfer about 2115. The trailer they put the load on has abs light on, expired dot and a light that needs to be looked at

    Worst part of trucking. Drop hook is fine when the equipment is good, but sucks when repairs are needed. Overall, personally I’d rather have an assigned trailer and live loads (with paid detention).
