    Do they still have the big buck run in front of the truck on the simulator?

    Idk about that. Buddy of mine from training is there and his dispatch has encouraged him to tarp in the sleeper many a time.

    OP, tmc is a good starter company. Have a few regrets I didn't go with them out of the gate, but cameras are not my cup of tea.

    I heard they only put cameras in the truck if you have been bad. Is that true?

    Thanks for all the info in this tread. I start the CDL train on the 24th.

    You may get a truck that had one installed prior to you getting the truck.
