    For what it's worth, there is another outfit in the Chicago area somewhat similar.
    When with USX, I got a QC message to call the Safety Dept. as soon as I could. Don't think WTF didn't cross my mind a few times. Turned out that I was "observed" with good speed control and adequate following distance. I asked how Safety knew this and was told there were outfits out there that did nothing but monitor how company trucks/drivers were doing regarding speed and following distance.
    I suspect there are a number of these guys out there, I just hope that they're not like this idiot and make up stuff.
    But, judging by the "supertrucker" in the blue Volvo yapping on a cellphone and tailgating, I'd fire the idiot as well. At least if all I had to go on was the video clip.:biggrin_25510:

    Ther are companies that are employed by Swift, CFI, USX and others, that all they do is look at that companies trucks. They are looking for following distances, speeding, lane changing, agressive driving, ect. That is what they are paid for, by specific companies.

    That guy for third eye was doing everything we hate about 4 wheelers.
    His videos are a waste of time. Probably a wanna be trucker, that got kicked off the truck 3 days into training.

    HAAAAA!!!!! I bet you're right!
    Far as I know, the BBB is just a private company too; they ARE NOT THE GOVERNMENT!
    I was requested to join their ledger with my old construction company due to my record and customer appreciation.
    Heh. They wanted ME to pay over $700 to get my name on their list!
    Hold your breath buddy, I'll be with ya in a minnit.

    this guy is a moron. "hes trying to intimidate me" with what, his ****** fan? maybe he should intimidate u by puttin u into that guardrail. and did any1 take note that the car he was following was getting passed by another truck in the RIGHT lane? not saying the trucker was right, but i notice alot more cars doing boneheaded things than truckers. it is very easy to start shooting video a second or 2 after a car cuts u off and make it look like your tailgating. and were the bad drivers, yet YOUR the 1 sitting there in our blind spot. and id rather have a trucker tailgating me than some idiot concentrating on his camera rather than the road. hes more of a hazard than the trucks are

    turd eye also keeps harping about the smith system, today i would keep a 7 sec safety zone from the truck/car in front of me,,,,,guess what in about 1-3 seconds someone would pass and pull in front ruining my buffer,,, so i would slow again till they got out the way than do-it all over again, i never made any head way as i was driving safety as possible turd eye could have filmed me being un-safe ,,, may-be this douche should start videoing cars and pick-ups since they case 85% of all truck accidents (reported by fmcsa &the insurance institute )

    The smith system has very good training techniques. The third eye guy applied none of it. He should eat his words. Quite being a hypocrite.
