    Hey I'm looking at Pride. I know their website says their trucks have "front facing event recorders only". Do you know, are they mounted inside the cab (and do they record audio), or are they outside the truck?

    Ok thanks. Do you know if Pride has a policy against using a bluetooth headset for phone calls? Or CBs?

    Hey, no problem. Yea, you can use both. Are you going to the training program or do you have experience?

    I have year LTL and some dry bulk. No reefer experience, so hopefully they give some decent basic training on those units?

    Why do they record audio?

    So they can hear what you say as the incident takes place. Talking on the phone or audio system at 11.
    All sounds can be linked to some form of action.
    Air squeak from the brakes, sounds of crushing metal and plastic buckling, glass shattering.
