    All trucks built after 3/31/16 will have forward facing dash cams at SNI. No sound. They will only record when a critical event is initiated.

    Forward facing? That's probably good cause I can guarantee no one wants to see my killer dances moves performed while off duty posted on YouTube. Rear facing cam? Better stock up on Malox and barfbags

    I see. Am curious then how you seem to know so much factual knowledge about the pay , miles , and other areas of how this company operates.

    I know what I have experienced and the things I am accountable for. Which of either do you have here?

    Well, the first week went great. First trainer signed off on me with near perfect marks for everything and he was pretty tough. I guess Swift school did teach me something.. Or more like I taught myself something there.

    Supposed to go out with a TE tomorrow morning. Meeting him at the Charlotte OC in the morning. I think. Since he didn't call me yet and everyone that deals with this is out for the weekend... Hopefully he's there tomorrow. If not, I suppose I'll get it figured out.

    Looking forward to my first time driving a trailer with something in it!
     
    Grijon Thanks this.

    Become as sponge, keep your TE on his toes asking questions, try and absorb as much Qualcomm and trip planning as you can. And G.O.A.L. more then you think you should
     
    Grijon and Friday Thank this.
