    I got tired of too many close calls, so I bought a dash cam for my own protection. I do keep the audio recording turned off.

    The would probably fire you if they caught you naked on camera. Wouldn't be surprised if they would consider it sexual harrassment especially if the SNI corporate person watching it was female. Sounds crazy but I put nothing past these corporatocracies.

    Sni legal dept has told sni no go on rear facing cameras...because of the fact that shyster lawyers could easily use anything against the co...they said it was too risky...

    To those of you with the collision mitigation system on the SFI Freightshakers, how would you rate the intervention of the system with braking off of cruise control? Does it as bad as I've heard in that it can cause an accident in poor road conditions by over applying the service brakes?

    The one complaint I have is the sensitivity needs to adjusted other than that I haven't had any issues with mine in over a year..

    Is that something you can go to Freightliner and have done, or does SFI not allow it?

    Actually I have not ever really said anything to SFI but I would imagine if you said something to your rep that it's causing a safety problem you could probably easily take it to Freightliner and have them adjusted

    Oh.......i like that one. I bought one during Amazon's recent prime day, but it doesn't have the side coverage like the falcon does.
