They're probably switching out their manuals for automatics, which is all too common nowadays.

Yeah. I wouldn't be able to deal with that either. My company just started with those lane sensors. All our trucks have on guard. I was lucky enough to get a '13 that doesn't have the lane sensors. And the onguard doesn't work. And it was an old lease truck so the governor is set higher then other company trucks and the idle cut off has been disengaged. If any one of those features were on my truck, I'd quit immediately. A camera? immediately quit. I wouldn't care if it was a forward facing camera. But there is no reason to see what I am doing while driving. It's essentially self incrimination if you get into an accident and you're eating. Or looking at something other then the road. It's there to get you into big trouble if you don't have both hands on the wheel and are not 100% focused on the road.

Don't go anywhere else, you won't be trucking much longer anyway.

I don't think I am being rough on him. Our standards need to be higher than the industry has.
I always use my turn signal and always have. Traffic or no traffic. It's a good habit.
Sure I eat while I am driving, but not when running on a road with heavy traffic, stop lights, etc. Gotta pick your spots to do such business.
FYI trkrjim, I am not a moron as you suggest. The standards in the industry and in society have fallen to just about 0.
Just because the guy drives doesn't mean he gets a trophy.otherhalftw Thanks this. -
Actually, I think he's spot on with his assessment of you.
Friday Thanks this. -
Finally smarter drivers are abandoning POS companies like this. If enough do they will either be forced out of business or have to reinvent themselves with the individual driver in mind and watch that pay go up
If you have a good record and a Carter Express terminal is near where you live....go sign up...
