    For those times when G.O.A.L. is getting a bit excessive. There's plenty of WIFI cameras which would have sufficient range, but many stream to the cloud which with video is going to be a bit of problem on a cellular data plan. I can throw a router to nowhere in the truck to avoid that, but it has to work with no internet connection. Also battery powered and rechargeable would be great.

    I don't care if there is a thousand cameras all over that rig.

    You will get out and LOOK. As in hop out and walk all the way back there and look.

    Your eyeball is the one device that determines if you hit im or not. And generally attached to your butt that gets the firing if you did not GOAL and hit something or someone.

    All the cameras and whizbang tech in the world wont save you or anyone if you got lazy and don't care.

    The idea was to still G.O.A.L. but things like blindside where there can be a whole lot of getting in and out. I wasn't thinking mounted on the tractor or trailer, but sitting on the ground. With the tandems forward I tend to shy towards the drivers side just to be safe when sometimes the overhand on the blindside didn't get within 5'.

    A baby monitor would do what you want.

    I'm with @x1Heavy though, an eyeball can't be beat. Just freakin' GOAL.
