Rearended a vehicle, is my career over?

That is why I asked if the OP received CSA points. We might hire him if that was the only accident in 3 years IF his CSA record was okay.

Remember dash cams can hurt or break u.. my company won't let us use em.

 

The "newest" safety device is actually a dash cam that records both the view to the outside front and the inside, the driver. It is designed to run a continuous "record loop" (both directions) and only "saves" video recorded for the time frame of 10 seconds before and 20 seconds after an impact or roll. Actually, it is a fairly sound idea to record both directional features....showing the traffic (or issue direction) in front of the rig and the drivers actions prior to and immediately following the incident.

The claim that dispatchers will be "constantly peeking in" is another exaggeration of the tin foil hat mob in my opinion. I like the idea, and will possibly be one of the "test trucks" with the device in my rig. The plan to simulate some "issues/events" to evaluate it's accuracy.

 

Not true. What about when someone cuts you off and slams on their brakes?
