MILLIS Transfer no longer what it once was

What the heck, when was that, when Millis shut down there West Milwaukee yard somewhere around '83-84 I lost my job with a round 10 other people never really paid attention to the kids after that....

 

I seriously doubt that if these cameras come on automatically during a hard braking event.

Sorry my friend but that's very possible. It's called a sudden deceleration event and is calibrated to between a 4 to 8 mph ( 1 sec ) speed drop for the trip. It's even in todays Qualcomm as a carrier option along with lateral G's detected and reported.

In the early Cadec days it was logged , today QC sends a signal to the carrier via email.

That's the whole point of the camera, to see what your doing in the event of an incident. ( like on phone etc )

 

[h=4]This is the system they have installed on the trucks not all but a good portion.

Are the event recorders recording all the time?[/h]The SmartRecorder records when triggered by driving maneuvers out of the ordinary, such as hard braking or swerves. Because it records before and after the triggered event, the cause of the incident is revealed, which is often not the driver’s fault. Only five minutes of video per week per driver are typically recorded.

 

Lots of companies are installing them, There the same cameras that are in Cabs here in Vegas, 1 thing I know about them is! they are always on, when something critical happens, it just places a flag on that section, but it records constantly, The flag is just so they can go to that pacific time on the tape, The company can review any time on the tape they wish, just had a driver fired from the company i work for, he had bought some beer and drank it in the truck, all the time the company was watching, I don't have one in my truck yet, But I use curtains I bought that go up and cover the windshield, instead of using the one's that just separate the cab from the sleeper, So! I don't care if they install it my truck, If they care to watch me drive down the road? their going to have a pretty boring day

 

How can it be recording before the triggered event? Unless it's on all the time?

 

It's overlapping you truly have some data base to store 24 hr recordings on a gazillion trucks. Good grief folks use common sense.

 

Its called "pre-event recording". The system will continue to write and overwrite a file repeatedly until something triggers the need to keep that recording. It's been used in law enforcement dashcam units for some time.

 

A friend works for a company that has the cameras installed and he bumped a dock a little hard and it recorded the event. He explained the incident to safety and he was cleared for that, but they dinged him anyway because he was not wearing his seat belt! He had removed it to turn and look out of the window while maneuvering...

 

At the incident trigger the unit captures the previous 30 seconds and retains...otherwise it runs a loop of whatever you set. Local school busses run a 7 minute loop.

 

Mills was good to start. Idk why anyone with experience would stay. My opinion on cameras are they are for meat in seat. It allows millis to have people who arent quAlified to drive to drive. Which works well for the direction they are heading to. A cdl mill type company. A word to other posters there is alot of trolls for millis on here. If your not a cheerleader for millis. These guys will find you lol. Good luck to anybody looking for a new job witjout nanny cam.
