driver facing cams?

hello all. Been with the company for well over a year. I've heard a rumor that starting the end of this year we will have driver facing cameras. Is this true? Was thinking of saving up(with points since we get so many at Pilot/Flying J) and getting a camera(road facing). Just hate the idea of people nit-picking how I drive, although I have a flawless record, so far. Thanks!

Just start picking your nose and whatever all else in front of the stupid camera they wanna see everything you do show it to them

I believe Superior is self insured and our accident rate is fairly low. I'd be surprised if they added the cameras. I wouldn't stick around for that.

That rumor has been around for a couple of years now. I doubt we will see driver facing ones. Maybe outward facing ones but my guess is as long as terminals are hurting for drivers that won’t happen.

Well my friend who is still with superior recently got a new peterbilt that has a camera facing both ways. The auto stop for tailgating and lane departure alarm!! It's not a rumor any more. Glad I found my private carrier job and got out of there. Stay safe

I have yet to see a camera in a Superior truck. I just got a new Mack. Has 30 k miles on it now. A coiuple other guys got new Peterbilts at the same time. No cameras. Maybe they trying some out at Markham/Kankakee

what terminal is your friend out of. That's the MAIN question. I was told they would be in at the end of this year. wsyrob, how do you like your Mack? I like mine(although it had right over 200K on it....way better than that stupid prostar that broke down on me and I spent a week and a half in a hotel before I was 'rescued' by good 'Ol Sunshine! haha), although I did use a brand new one first week of this year....didn't like the fact that the insulation between door was coming off.

I like it. Took some gorilla glue to that insulation my second day in it. No problem after that but you have to knock paint off the doors to close them all the way.

Had some check engine lights come on and go off a few times the first 2 weeks. Been off the last month or so 30K miles before I went on vacation

dang, a whole month? Lately I get in and spend 3-4 days at home. I'm only needing 2 whole days off.

My insulation strip comes off too. I tried gorilla glue and had maintenance glue it down. Still comes off.
