so I signed on with a medium size mega

They might not help a one truck guy, but they help people running a bunch of trucks. The company I’m leased to has around 100 trucks, and they went to cameras last year. My friend has 40-50 trucks pulling tanks and he went to cameras a couple months ago at the urging of his insurance company. It’s about exposure. 40 trucks running 500 miles a day is a lot more exposure than one truck running 500 miles a day.

 

Not just camera's - but collision mitigation technology in general. Lawsuits against carriers and truck sellers for NOT having the technology, in their trucks have already been filed and settled.

 

I heard the Samsara is not good at all……

 

Uhh... if you're the one buying the fuel, why would you consider giving them 30% of the fuel surcharge? That should always be passed 100% to the O/O.

 

It's their fuel card. Plus they pay 75% of the load. Last cheque was $8500 for one week only having to worry about my truck payment. It's a good situation imo.

 

That sounds scary. Do you have the links for the case law involved? How about a link to the court jurisdictions involved?

Most truck owners will be interested in this.

 

And a dollar and 20 cents a mile

 

They claim to be doing low $2 all miles . I have my doubts

 

This guy is the main cheerleader…..

 

well, I don't know who the "main cheerleader" is, but facts is facts. And that's a so 'nuff statement.
Best I ever did was about $4,500 to the house.
Typical was around $3k
