Maverick Driver general bs thread

Not saying it's a bad thing it can be very helpful at times. I just don't think I'd want an eight hour loop. I would only want 5 min. worth of storage. Because if you go to use it in court the opposition will look at the whole thing try to pick you to death. I'm not saying you're a bad driver by any means but no one is perfect including myself. That's why if I have one I would only one of 5 min. worth of recorded data.

 

If you use a dash cam and your not IC, you should get permission. Maverick might not want their business recorded.

 

I don't believe in cameras facing the drivers. That takes away all privacy and that's part of the reason we do what we do for a living. Enough evidence comes from other means to determine whether or not a driver was or wasn't doing his job properly. No driver wants his FM or anybody else being able to watch him all the time. I don't have any problems with dash cams facing out the front. There have been many times in the past when I wish I already had one.

I'd rather see a phone where texting is disabled when the ignition is turned on.

 

Hadn't heard that one yet...I don't have a problem with a dash cam. But, I also opt against the driver facing one.

 

I was talking with a guy who just came out of orientation the other day. He told me Maverick had plans to install cameras in the trucks. I think it's all part of a plan to capture video for a new reality TV show "Lizzard Wars"

 

yep i had to watch a couple of them twice to see what he was whining about and like you said, then he does the same thing in a different one.

 

yep 5 mins would be enough

 

yep one of the drivers i was on the dac with did a presentation at one of the quarterly meetings but at the time was put on hold. Dunno if any Mavs are testing any systems now, its been 3 years since then but it wouldn't surprise me.

 

Saw a blue KW sitting in traffic last night when I went through K ville. Glad I was west bound.
