Is advanced technology making backing a truck easier?

Good luck telling shippers/receivers they must follow YOUR rules.
You will be dealing with a lot of rejected loads.

 

Do us all a favor, don't even bother with trying to drive a truck. Most of the doors on the back of trailers are aluminum, good luck with your magnet. It's not that difficult to learn how to back up, and honestly if you can't figure it out without a camera you don't belong in a truck.

 

Have you ever actually dealt with the people on the docks in dis bidness?
Most could care less whether or not they ship or receive the stuff.

 

for me about 80=100 feet before I even do my setup

so in other words you don't know sheet about anything.... your going to just pi$$ off every driver waiting for you to spend 1/2 hr of my time waiting for you to f around with your stupid camera...… you think a customer is going to be happy that you are making everyone (drivers (truck and forklift) wait for you to fool around with it..... BTW when YOU do a live unload the customer will TELL YOU witch dolly or pallet jack you can and can not use...….

when you learn how to drive and BACK a truck them you can put your big boy pants on

 

I rely on my backup camera on my car. 1 million %.

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.

 

If you clip the camera to the door handle how will they unload/load the trailer?
Most trailers are swing doors and when opened the door handle is against the side if the trailer.

 

The customer is of course. You know, the ones who actually pay to have freight moved.
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.
