Rise of Jammers.

Was expecting a thread about "grind it till you find it".

That said, the only recording equipment I'd want in the cab is my own, and I control what it sees and what video is seen by others (I hope to get a GoPro soon for some driving videos, both my perspective and other perspectives). GPS isn't an issue for me, but watching me drive is another. The company should trust me to do my job like a professional and not babysit.

 

I was thinking the boneheads that hold the pedal on the floor .

 

When you are pulling loaded B-trains into the wind to accelerate, it's kind of unavoidable.

Gotta watch that oil temp though.

 

I'm the one who would back out of it and let you by .

 

I wouldn't be passing unless you are doing more than 10mph less than the speed limit but you are a better driver than most. I wish there were more professionals like you around here. If I'm in a hurry, I'm doing 105 km/h (governed max) on the highway, and I can't count the number of times I go out to pass a truck doing 98-100 km/h and they speed up as I pull out. Absolutely shameful.

Passed a four-wheeler a couple weeks ago doing 80 km/h in a 100 km/h zone on a two-lane highway running 130,000 gross. Didn't think she'd have the juice to do it, but she roared to life when the hammer hit the floor and she went. Surprised me. Shocked me even. Must have had a tail wind. Lol.

 

Lmao ...my truck isn't governed but I'm less stressed at the end of the day goin slow .
Coming down thru the construction on 35 in Texas today had a guy pullin a camper in front of me running 50 in a 60 zone .
I just kept my distance and followed him ...wasn't worth the hassle.

 

Good article. I'm not surprised though. A few years ago I was watching on some national news show about how criminals are using devices to copy a key fobs frequency and code for high end vehicles. Of course with the introduction of keyless entry and operation its like a car thief's wet dream for keyless start/entry.

 

Sometimes my phone loses connection, I can tell because the Bluetooth will sound a tone every so many seconds indicating the phone is roaming or in an 'extended area' even though I can see 3 big cell phone towers. I am guessing I might be running alongside or very near another vehicle who is running a cell phone jammer?
