    I can imagine trying to back into a car dealer off a busy street with some screwball crap like this, and have it go out in mid-setup.

    “Now downloading update 1 of 249...”

    :rolleyes:

    We have a bunch of new trucks at our hub and I didn’t see one with those mirrors yet. I’d love to try one out.

    If the long term goal is to replace mirrors, that's gonna take some getting used to that's for sure, my wife's vehicle has a backup camera in it and I still don't use it if I am driving, I still go by habit and use the mirrors.
     
    The Shadow and Radman Thank this.

    I’m curious to see how well they work in the rain and snow

    I doubt if I could ever get used to using some camera instead of mirrors.

    To the SAIA drivers here, could I get your honest opinion on the driver facing camera's. Should it be a deal breaker? Anyone run Systems on the East coast? Your thoughts? Thanks for your input! Much appreciated! Be safe!

    The camera isn't a issue unless you are caught doing something that is against company policy, examples being having a bluetooth on your head or in your ear, smoking in the truck, having your cellphone in your hand regardless of the reason, those are just some of the examples I can think of, LPjunior1970 and McUzi both work on the east coast I believe, but maybe be more specific, like what state or city you would be running out of, I run in the south west for Saia, so I don't have any east coast info.
     
    Ronniev1262, Radman, jmz and 1 other person Thank this.
