Mike Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I think you should get a raise for doing a good deed. Next time keep on going, but speed up.

Popular Post RedBullDog Posted November 25, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted November 25, 2015 Stupid is lucky that his car didn't get enough lateral grip to just start barrel-rolling. The side curtain airbags are for privacy while they're on facebook. 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/42801-importance-of-having-a-dash-cam/#findComment-312872 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGarofalo Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I drove for 2 companies that use drivecam. Both would use it a a tool for punishing drivers. Telling you your following too close, or going to fast for the curve, or drinking a coffee... I always hated it. Until one morning after loading a trailer full of LPG and heading out and a car goes right through a stop sign and we collide. I was able to veer to the oncoming lane so it was a glancing blow and nobody was hurt but the damage was done. I am now a firm believer in drivecam! It showed the whole event, and I was in the clear. There are a lot of liars out there and drivecam is a cheap and easy insurance. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/42801-importance-of-having-a-dash-cam/#findComment-312901 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowdyRebel Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Forward-facing cameras are great! I refuse to have one facing me, though. Anyway, when will the video be posted? Screen shots are OK...but I was expecting video! Speaking of videos, I've got a couple more to get uploaded...

Gmerrill0516 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 They must have really wanted to avoid that exit only lane. Holy crap! Had that been the old days when bumpers were higher, he would have been a pizza in a little red pizza box. CRUNCH! I have to wonder what the hell they were doing to wind up making that move...Must have crapped an egg roll on that one!

Freightrain Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Our local freight drivers tell me about their cab cameras. They aren't suppose to smoke in the truck. The one driver is a old timer and just flicks the camera the finger and lights up. Never been bothered or written up.They are a good thing anymore, but I don't think they need to be pointed at the driver(yet). Makes you wonder how much they WEREN'T paying attention to drive into the front of a semi just out their side window? Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Popular Post Underdog Posted November 26, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted November 26, 2015 My company is installing them now... I don't have one yet. I am with Rowdy on this... Facing out is a big help, but not a camera inside the cab. We are told that real time monitoring is not possible, the SD card must be removed to review the footage. I'm not too worried about it now because my company doesn't have the personnel to look at 60 trucks' footage on a regular basis. But it's a slippery slope with technology, real time monitoring may come in the future...I have developed a real aversion to all this technology taking over the world... It can be useful, but too many people and businesses have come to rely on devices and connectivity so much that they can't function without it. My boss is going in that direction, and maybe it's required to be competitive these days, Electronic logs, cameras, GPS tracking. I'm just a dumb truck driver, but I don't see the ROI on all this equipment. He is scaring me right back to being an owner operator.Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/42801-importance-of-having-a-dash-cam/#findComment-313063 Share on other sites More sharing options...
