    Well, if they're going to replace them, they must have forgotten. My truck was just serviced in Richmond 2 weeks ago. What's the new ones look like?

    My old camera didn't have any lights half the time.

    I'll call Dennis in the morning to see what he says. But, from all the feedback I'm getting, I'm not getting a warm, fuzzy feeling. It's me. So, I'll have to make a change. Sux. But, if I'm not wanted, there is no reason to fight for anything.

    I have a friend of mine that drives for Nussbaum and they have cameras like ours plus a camera that's mounted above the passenger side window that faces the driver.

    The cameras are Drivecam from Lytx.

    No. But I don't stay out 7 weeks at a time either. I go home often here. If I stayed out the same amount of time, then I probably would. Prime is a good company. I know, everyone just sees their slow trucks but they pay good, good equipment, and always giving the drivers free stuff. I have about 20 shirts, 5 pairs of shorts, hats, pens all free from prime. They even gave me a real nice leather coat after my first year of service there with my name on it.

    I remember being asked my shirt size once? I guess they were just curious.

    I can't agree. But that is my honest opinion. I've always had to give up something besides time out to get home.
