- Trailer GPS/Antenna
- Weigh station check-in’s

Go to Oregon and they have cameras in the trees taking pictures. If you're off on your mileage and argue with them they will send you the photos.

18. Any diagnostic software from the manufacturer, such as SmartLinq from Peterbilt. If your truck throws a code and it’s not a “it’s fine to keep driving for a while” code you get an email that lists the fault and where the closest dealer is to you.

Black helicopters
Flat Earth Trucker, Another Canadian driver, hope not dumb twucker and 1 other person Thank this. -
oh yeah telematics, Freightliner, virtual technician service. If a driver pulls all the fuses related to connectivity they won’t be able to ping the truck, but let’s say someone steals your truck. There’s an antenna in the dash behind all the controls that’s the back up antenna… of course they sell all these services third-party add-ons.
which reminds me is the newer trucks the radios have Wi-Fi so technically HackableFlat Earth Trucker and Another Canadian driver Thank this. -
I’ve seen it lol, the photo album collage of ones whole Oregon trip with a three cent per mile fee currently.. so if you did like 1000 miles in Oregon it’s 30 bucks & then a whole bunch of photos that they keep in the database for a year in case of audit from any agency in the countryAnother Canadian driver and LOTSO Thank this.

I forget what state I was in it. I think it was Washington going into Montana and there was this helicopter school over there that I didn’t know of. For 10-20 miles all I was seeing was black helicopters probably Apaches in the sky... I was asking myself wth is going on… it was just a training school nearby
but those drones are out there flying around speed tagging, allegedly lolol77fib77, Flat Earth Trucker, Another Canadian driver and 1 other person Thank this. -
