[QUOTE="rbrtwbstr, post: 11600947, member: 89920"]What I meant with the flatbed comment was if it's van or reefer work, I don't touch the freight. And unfortunately yes, driver facing cameras are a thing. I dunno why any driver would subject themselves to such things, though I'm sure some would argue and say it's no big deal. As far as the DOT physicals, so let's say you have a driver that has a family doctor on the list.
