Personally I love the "The person paying my wages can't tell me what to do!" attitude.
My nephew has that attitude and at age 30 he is still jumping from minimum wage job to minimum wage job. Everytime I talk to him, he just can't figure out why he still has a sucky life.homeskillet, D.Tibbitt, 88 Alpha and 1 other person Thank this. -

Back up cameras for trucks are goofy . I only see the point on a sports car with a tiny rear window.

Why would you want to get lift-gate service? Order a 1000 lb safe from your favorite online dealer and don't select "lift-gate". When the truck arrives, all the driver is responsible for is getting the safe to the rear of his trailer. Most folks don't have a forklift at their house, so how are you going to get it off of the trailer? That lift-gate looks very appealing right about now.
Do they have lift-gate services in the game? If so, are you charging extra for it?
Not everything in the real world is dock delivery. Sometimes you will have to back up to an area until a customer says "STOP", then open the doors and get the product off. How is that camera going to help you line up on something when there is nothing to line up on, yet the customer wants you to be straight and at "this point".
Don't think it happens? Read and ask questions on virtually any of the "Dollar Store" accounts threads (Dollar General, Family Dollar, Dollar Tree, etc). Read different food services threads where drivers are running up and down ramps pushing or pulling dollies. Ask drivers about delivering new furniture to places like Rent-A-Centers, Ashley Furniture Stores, or a variety of other mom-and-pop furniture stores where large couches are stacked on top of dressers and you (the driver) has to get the couch off of the dresser, get it to the rear of the trailer, and get it down on the ground where a customer can then take it into their store. -

Brother in law was at a fuel station he was walking in to pay for his fuel . A lady in a mini van threw it in reverse and if he wasn’t fast he would’ve got run over . He asked her why she didn’t look before backing up and her response was I didn’t see you in my camera ..
