CDL Training day 12

Counterpoint: if you later go to work for Schneider (or whomever)--and one day soon thereafter...they announce driver-facing cameras (for whatever reason) to be installed in your part of the fleet--would you quit? To what fleet would you go next?

I ask this because....there may come a day when you do in fact face a similar situation.

With 18 months of hazmat tanker duty in the bag (hauling fuel)--I can offer that, with a driver-facing camera, every working day--I'm no worse off for it....I still got my safety bonuses....

If I can do it--why can't you?.....

Just some food for thought.....

My point in all the above....?

Here's one way to look at the camera issue.....

It's just a camera.

It's NOT a loaded gun.

If you are a TRUE professional--then you probably aren't doing anything in front of that camera that you would be ashamed of....or apologize for later, anyway.

Try to tell her to relax, sounds like your trainer is helping to avoid stress later on.

 

Real life truth is no two intersections will be the same in regards to the approach and/or execution of a successful turn.
Assess each one, use caution and take as much time and or lane as you need.
Always going slow enough to never lose sight in one or the other mirror.
Keep that in mind and never become complacent..there is always a 4 wheeler waiting to ruin the day.
