    A Knight driver walking around his truck & trailer with a tablet scanning what seemed to be circular magnetic check points for a pre-trip inspection.

    Is this something you guys have to do? Holy cow that sucks.

    I heard recently of a company putting sensors at various places around their box trucks to electronically check if the drivers were actually walking around the trucks. I guess they had problems with drivers not doing pre-trips and having breakdowns on the road or lights out that they were cited for.

    I'm sure those sensors will be on a lot of 18's too in the future

    No, but it was definitely a small mobile touch device with a magnetic reader. Definitely a pre-trip thing.

    The lazier the employees the tighter the restrictions. That's pathetic.
