    Ha ha @ Salt Lake Local Driver. That is pretty funny for real. I have this set up from amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08MC4Q1Y1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

    It is a 8 channel and has 2 TB hard drive and has cell service as well. Can view all cameras on an app or online and download anything needed. I use AT&T for the cell service on it and cost me like 20 a month I think. Have had the system now for a year and never had any issues except a couple cable issues. The cameras can be changed if you ask them before purchasing. I have it ran to my batteries so it runs 24/7 and have a solar panel that charges batteries while sitting.

    That is pretty slick, have you ever used it for a backup camera? Maybe blindside into a tight dock?

    Does that truck stop have a tire shop, per chance? Or...is there one nearby?

    Could also be an angry local who doesn't want trucks in their neighborhood. Doing things like this will pretty much ensure many will not return. Problem with that is they'd spend 3 lifetimes doing that until no truck ever comes in again.

    In the older days. Guys put roofing nails backwards thru a shingle. About 50 of them per shingle. Called a spilutnick, not certain on the spelling. You could run over them and tar on the shingle kept the tire from going flat for about 100 miles. Then it went flat, and had a heaping pile of non repairable wholes. But that was mostly steelhaulers during a strike. Still better than them shooting you or your equipment up.

    There should be a YouTube channel showing the punks doing this #### getting the #### beat out of them and then having to work to repay the damage costs.

    Mutha Trucka is reporting 40 trucks hit in GA at 3 rest areas. We need a BOLO. He said someone reported a black.Coronado no lights ran the red light to get back to the highway.

    I wonder if the excrement of a human that did this happened to hit a maverick truck too. I make fun of them often, but may be one of those times the goofy cameras they have above the mirrors will come to good use. Guess it all depends on just how good the cameras really are.
