    There are several holes going through the truck cab floor. Go under your truck to see where they are located.

    I’m thinking the best way is to have a drone spot me while I back blind side. :cool::D

    Dam, this YouTuber actually put to practice 3 years ago what I’ve been thinking of doing for some time. He is using a tripod camera as his spotter. It’s legit.

    I can see, using this in some areas, your camera disappearing at about 12mph. (that's a 5 minute mile. not quite olympic speed but easily attainable by a methed-up hood rat)

    What the hell! Camera drones are dirt cheap now. Wow. In 5 years, truckers are going to have a drone spotting them while backing. :eek:

    You get enough camera you can make the trailer disappear like the Chevy pickups, and then get the backup assistant from a Ford pickup.
