    I worked at a small company with driver facing camera, never, never EVER will I work for a company that has spy cams in the truck, I was told the camera only comes on during a critical event...blah blah blah.... That #### thing came on all the time, just cruising down the road, parked at night, just for a test I covered it Saturday afternoon, Monday morning I received a call from the owners brother, told me the camera can't be covered....hmmm if they can't see whenever they want then how would they know it was covered? I left shortly after that, anyone that works at a company that your being spied on I give props....because I could never do that
     
    TigerShark, Crassius and Arkansas Thank this.

    Common sense says the Camera is recording constantly... Unless it can tell 10 seconds before an incident, that it is about to happen, it has to be recording. They say it only saves 10 sec before and 10 seconds after. Who really knows through.

    If someone takes their company's word for it...they are a complete idiot.

    Doesn't Hunt require OTR experience? Aren't they part of the Crete family?
    How about James H. Clark & Son
    On your list, Earl Henderson Trucking, good reviews on here from their drivers.
    On the list I gave you, Holland does require 12 months OTR experience; the others don't because they hire new CDL grads; maybe their websites aren't up to date.

    Yes it's always recording, but when the light turns green that is when it's sending the footage to wherever it goes to. Trust me, I had it in my truck for 2 months, I learned a lot in that short time, and I'll never work for any company that has one again

    Reefer for sure. I just need a decent company. I don't need a kenworth or a peterbuilt I really don't want a camera but would face that when it came. Just want a solid start and not from Werner or Swift.

    Pride does have a good reputation.
    James H. Clark & Son
    Freymiller - been hiring drivers that got laid off from the oil fields. This company has a good reputation.
    JBS Carriers - also been hiring laid off oil field workers.
