    1)
    Fortunate & thankfully, with today's advances in medical technology, the doctors were able to do the surgery on the severed quad tendon, on your left knee.
    2) Also, fortunately & thankfully, that nothing happened to your right leg, knee, or foot, only because your right foot is your driving & braking foot for both your truck & car.

    God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

    Maybe if they didn’t hire flip flop wearin’ non English reading unprofessionals, real professional drivers would stand up and sign up with another company, leaving behind swift en masse.

    Hence why they hire these unprofessionals who don’t need housing, don’t have families, wash their feet in the squeegee bin, throw their trash in the grass and on the pavement, throw their piss bottles at people trying to appreciate truckers giving them the arm pump cause these unprofessionals don’t even know what the heck it means.

    The reason for inward driver cameras is because there are too many accidents and it involves the drivers doing all kinds of stupid stuff the average thing being texting someone. In my honest opinion, they need to treat the issue like drunk driving until then the issue won't be addressed truly and not just for professional drivers I mean for everyone because it only takes a second for something bad to happen. Had a post here while back a guy tried to defend his right to send messages to his wife while driving and he cannot be told he's done anything wrong.

    The only time I find the inward driver camera inappropriate is when I am shut down and changing or sleeping or anything in between.

    Why stop there? Why not body cams so their pre trips can be recorded, along with everything they do inside and outside the rig. Monitor their sleep too and make sure they are sleeping the correct way, not snoring and so on. While they’re at it they should make a new bureaucracy dedicated to monitoring a Trucker’s every move, taking E-Logs to the next level! Then on top of that, let’s monitor the cab and bunk temperatures, only allowing them to cool down to 77 degrees in the summer and 64 degrees in the winter, so we can save fuel…their comfort be darned.

    Micro management is so cool! :rolleyes:

    You don’t need to micro manage good, dedicated, well trained employees. These employees are lacking at the megas.

    This sounds absolutely terrible. Looks like it's time to get out of Swift and find another job

    Why not give drivers the option to pay the increased insurance rate to keep the cams out of the truck? Companies are putting in the cameras for reduced insurance rates as I understand it.
