    I just recently helped a schneider driver out of a bit of a rough spot...backed the truck up for him.

    I never realized it but I was thinking afterward I could have gotten him into trouble doing that if they look at camera's inside the cab on a frequent basis.

    This site needs a list of companies with driver-facing cameras so we know which ones to avoid.

    It has one, but the info is pretty old, and the few updates to it are scattered about. If one of the admins would pin a post with the most up to date info and add to it as drivers report new companies, it would be most helpful.

    Schneider doesn't have driver facing cameras.

    Even if it did, the camera system isn't activated unless a "critical event" is recorded. If a driver pops a "critical event" while backing, s#!+ akin to the 4 horsemen is going down.

    The driver for a Salt Lake outfit that pulled in next to me at my last shipper probably tripped an event backing. He had the trailer bouncing off the ground like a basket ball when attempting to slide the tandem. Then he proceeded to slam the sliding mechanism stop hard enough that I'm surprised it didn't shatter right there. As a grand finally, he hit the dock bumper good enough to send him forward again a good ways.
