Tips for tmc prospects.

Don't work for a company that has them...plenty out there. You being from Indiana have more options than most.

 

They dont have cameras in all of the trucks. I believe its something like 200 or so. And most of those who have them have them because they are screw ups. The guy previous to me had one and i was told he was a screw up. As far as whats settings yours off in the middle of a straight road at night, I dont know. Why dont you call Safety and ask them. I know what sets mine off, and I know for a fact they dont have access to the controls for mine.

 

You dont have a smart drive camera then. You have the OTHER camera. its grey with blue buttons and #### right? Kinda shaped like a triangle?

 

yep, you have the spot check camera. I have the one that is activated when i actually screw up. Then I can see where your upset about it. If I was you, I would be pushing to get a new truck

 

TMC has always had a high turnover rate, a lot of the big trucking companies do. I for one wouldn't like a camera on in the truck but as the technology becomes cheaper and if insurance companies start requiring them they start putting them in everywhere. The saying, In the future the most valuable thing will be your privacy" is becoming true.

 

Cops and truck drivers. The government and public won't be happy until both are on camera 24/7 with no expectation of privacy - ever.

 

Gunner, thanks for the info on benefits and highlighting opportunities with ESOP. Where I'm at in a military career, I guess that's never been an option to consider. I've also always been a fly by the seat of your pants type, and preferred to have the money right now. I'll keep that in mind though if/when I get the opportunity to work for them and have the option.
