    Too bad drive cams don’t transmit smell.

    You want respect in this industry, there are several things you need: Driver facing cams, auto transmissions, skirts covering everything, hidden exhaust, GPS-A-PLENTY on the windshield, a “they pay me to drive, I don’t fix stuff attitude”, a pretrip that consists of cranking up and leaving, the ability to take a 30 minute break on the fuel island, the inability to hit a dock within the first 10 tries, staring ahead and oblivious to all other traffic, and that’s a good start.

    Maybe I should have phrased it “how to fit in today’s trucking industry”.

    Auto shift to each his own, I think it’s more about lowering the job to the least common denominator but I can also see where it would be nice.

    As far as drive cam goes I’ve thought about getting my own camera but I have no interest in one I can’t control and one that looks at me.
