Hobert62 Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 We had a driver get shot at on Friday morning around 3:30am about 5 miles from getting back home. He wasn't hurt! A car was going north on 147 a 2 lane road and he was coming south. All he remembers is the car had people with there arms out the window like they where playing in the wind. When they got right beside him he said it cracked like someone hit the truck with a baseball bat. He thought they threw a beer bottle at him. When he got back to the bakery this is what he found. It hit the striker in the door jamb. When he opened the door the bullet fell to the ground. A bunch of cops where involved and as of right know they are basically just calling it a random act. Everyone be safe and pay attention to your surroundings. the bullet stopped when 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50065-worthless-people/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Timmyb Posted June 4, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 4, 2017 Sorta hard to tell by the pics, but if the bullet kept going looks like it could of hit him? There are some seriously f'ed up people who would do this for fun. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50065-worthless-people/#findComment-371409 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjc transport Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 this is one of the reasons all trucks and cars should have dash cams.

We do have dash cams but they only record when we hook and unhook from trailers or go around a corner to fast.

If it would have been 6"-9" further forward it would have hit him in the ribs. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50065-worthless-people/#findComment-371430 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobert62 Posted June 4, 2017 Author Share Posted June 4, 2017 They are shock activated. Once set off it saves 8 seconds before and 4 seconds after. It takes some kind of jar to set off hard braking, bump in road, quick turn or something along those. If it would have been recording it could have got details on the oncoming car.

Hobert62 Posted June 4, 2017 Author Share Posted June 4, 2017 Prob if they had a gun. They have the bullet. I didn't see it but was told it was 45 caliber.

Dash cams we have at work have a "panic" button the driver can manually save an event. The footage 30 seconds previous is saved, until you manually stop it. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50065-worthless-people/#findComment-371462 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our volvos are mounted all the way by the passenger side A pillar. Only way to reach them is to unbuckle and walk across cab. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50065-worthless-people/#findComment-371485 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobert62 Posted June 5, 2017 Author Share Posted June 5, 2017 I think they are more concerned about burning us for not wearing a seatbelt and keeping our safety bonuses. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50065-worthless-people/#findComment-371491 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jury will have a difficult time understanding how you could miss that car right there in plain view on the monitor in front of them when you're trying to explain the extent of your blind spots. Lower windshield, near the center of the driver's side glass seems to work...where the only thing the camera blocks is my view of the hood. Anything the camera can see, I can see better. 1 Quote When approaching a 4-way stop, the vehicle with the biggest tires has the right of way!

HeavyGunner Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Ours are mounted on the passenger window at the very top right next to the divider between the windows. Doesn't seem to effect vision much and I can reach it if I want something recorded.
