    Made about $6k less this year, for over 9k more miles.
    My freight don’t pay FSC gotta negotiate it into rate, most don’t so rate actually went down as everything else.

    I figured that had to be extra trucks. How do you like the cameras they provide? I have two systems but not from them.

    Older cameras worked better than their new AI ones.
    If someone passes you, sees law in median, cuts infront of you and slams on brakes, even though you were going speed limit, minding your own business, and you move lanes to passing lane, their AI will show only you running up behind someone and moving over and say you were following to close and improper lane change for not moving over sooner.

    That is pretty lazy programming. I like my system but they have tried to sale me on them. Just turned them down every time but wondered real world experience what it was like.
