The magnetic cam then would have to be taken off right before the doors come open. How close can I back to the dock with closed trailer doors? I've not been to CDL school yet. I don't know all those backing regs customers impose on drivers. I did not know the dock area was so tightly controlled. Do you the customer specify what kind of dolly the UPS driver in the brown truck must use to deliver your new washing machine to the front door of your home?
Is advanced technology making backing a truck easier?

It sees things NONE of us can.
At my house. The neighbors have kids. They have dogs. They have cats.
And, well, without it. I risk being the in the news because I ran over and killed a kid. Which seems to be a monthly news story these days.
I rely on my cam. I LOVE my cam.
When cars came out. The US population was around 100 million.
Today, it's over 300 million. And kids are getting ran over.
Yep. I rely solely on my cam. Cuz NONE of us can see behind our trunks.
And those cams are small. Those of us that have one. Know how small. If a guy were to pull the same trailer. Any parts store sells a license plate cam. Those things are so small. Nobody or nothing will be smashing it up.
The only drawback I see. Is constantly being on. Because there's no way to wire to a backup switch.
And for all you that say if you can't back a truck without the use of a camera. You have no business driving a truck.
How many rookies are out there on a daily basis backing in to us? Or something.Last edited: Sep 10, 2019
D.Tibbitt Thanks this. -
Most trailers are swing doors and when opened the door handle is against the side if the trailer. -
This is no different than going to Walmart to buy a can of coffee. If Walmart started making inconvenient rules I would go to Kroger. Same thing. The person paying gets to dictate what happens (within the law of course) and few will allow what you are asking. Especially when there are millions of drivers that can back. They will take their business somewhere else.D.Tibbitt Thanks this.
