    I currently drive from Napa and there is in fact a forward and rear facing camera but it only pops on if you have a critical event like a hard break or an accident

    What miles are you getting at Napa? I'm approved xb want to be home weekends, but need 2800+ at only .44/mile. Doing 3000+ per week now with a 34 almost every week, but never at home.

    Yes, they absolutely do. They're using the Lytx cam. The #### thing activates and sends priority videos to the safety department constantly. Get this. They say the cam only records critical events. Yeah ok. Thousands of dollars spent on 400 trucks and they can't get footage when they want

    I did not have good luck with NAPA, local driver left me stranded overnight (2 nd week of January ) in a truck with no heat and wouldn't idle. Local driver so I was not allowed to keep winter supplies in truck.
    They buy retired JB Hunt trucks.

    I lasted 3 months driving their POS Volvo with one dashboard 12v plug working. Was going to pack my stuff and drive away when the shop refused to fix my broken seat back (a safety hazard). They were forced to fix it and had to replace the wiper motor (wipers would randomly die in the rain). Lights were too dim, and I had to clean 10 years of caked grime off the seats myself.

    Not worth it.
     
    Spiderfront and Knucklehead Thank this.

    Whatever you had to say about this company you put it very nicely compared to what they are truly like. For starters, all loads are pretty much always forced dispatch whether you're an owner op or company driver. They will treat you like an Ant and not respect you because they have so many drivers, they have inward facing cameras that constantly alert the safety department of speeding and false collisions. Very big Ego in all departments. Barely no Empties at drop & hook locations. Very hard to get dispatch on nights & weekends and when you do, they do not care and brush you off. They're trucks are super slow. It goes on and on. Read the agreement carefully before signing with them. They keep buying out other companies just to get more drivers because they cannot keep or get new ones. With over 400 drivers in the fleet, you're just another number. Also, My pay was always off and not accurate.

    They do, they report speeding to safety & report driving over speed bumps as collisions where you will then get a call from safety .

    Here is the truth about that. It doesn't only activate during critical events. It can be accessed at will or always records.
