    No you're right buddy. Rusty explained it all to us in orientation and we even saw a couple 14 second clips of one of our drivers. It does record 24/7 but only "captures" or "saves" 7 seconds before and after a trigger and sends that in. But the rest is still recorded and could be retreived. It works in a continuous loop so eventually records over previous stuff.

    Well decided to make the smart choice and shut down on the nj turnpike. To make it to the drop in hopewell id have to avg above 62mph the entire way which isnt very likely.

    Me and @MidWest_MacDaddy actually figured out how to make teleporting trucks so that this wouldnt be a problem, but the darn napkin i wrote it on flew out the window this morning while enjoying the fresh mountain air.

    Now time to rest till the box says i can drive again later on tonight

    No worries. ...if JB hits it big in the casino he'll share with U

    He only drives so he doesn't get bored sitting around the pool or riding his bike

    She pulled me off of Joe Bauer's truck and threw me to the wolves because she didn't think I could be ready in a week. She made that decision on her own, without consulting anyone else. I guess she plays favorites?

    Good lord, drive for a day and get back on here and I'm 5 pages behind. Lol. Currently sitting at my delivery here in ATL,GA. Really nice people here. Only told me I was no. 1 about 6 times. Good job on the miles @Redtwin .

    @KD5AXG sorry to hear about your pay issues. Maybe your right. This company isn't a good fit for everyone. I've been charged with a hotel once. My truck had a radiator leak last summer. Couldn't idle it. Couldn't sleep in it as hot as it was. Don and my fleet manager both agreed it was best for me to spend the night in the hotel and I still was charged. But all I did was call Dennis and told him what happened and he put the money on my next check.

    @MidWest_MacDaddy teleporting trucks? Really? Like it, I do.

    This is how my camera stays. Rolling or stopped. As you can see I'm stopped in the picture so I don't know what's it's doing. 20160721_201803.jpg

    That is the old style cameras that they are replacing. I believe that means the camera is not operating properly. My "trainers" camera stayed red all the time.

    @5speed Do you make more money at Abilene than you did at Prime?
