Dash Cam

[brown67]

Anyone use a dash cam in their feeder tractors? I see some crazy drivers out there, and it seems like the truck driver always gets blamed for an accident. It would be nice to have proof if something happened.

Go for it , but I wouldn't let management know

The way I hear it around here, via the "tin foil hat committee", secret camera's are already installed.

Heard they are in the headliners now. I cover the liner with info notices.

They're in the floorboard, pointed directly at the driver's seat.

My husbands feeder driver supervisor said they can have dash cams as long as it isn't bigger than 4 inches by 4 inches. Of course it can't block your view in any way

No wonder they are getting into so many accidents---they are all driving on the wrong side of the road.

They have one under the steering wheel called the crouch cam... its to catch feeder drivers from taking a hand off of the wheel on those long lonely interstate trips and having it go down toward the crouch for some excitement....

This could bite him in the ass even if his on road sup said it was ok.... the newer macks and kw, internationals have front facing cameras in the window....you get the luxury of an auto rig but the camera system is the price you pay...it's a double edge sword... good and bad depending on the situation...

Anything under 4 inches is pretty much useless.

Anyone have one for their personal vehicle? What should I look for if I buy one?


PS, I know Feeder drivers who hook theirs up to the tractor every day.

So, if I wanna tug it out while driving... the dash cam won’t see correct?

Get a front and rear facing one.
In the event of an Accident never reveal you have footage unless you absolutely have to.

Yes, investing in your own dash cam saves you headaches with the police and lawyers. Get the one that overwrites so the lawyers can't pull up your shenanigans for weeks before. Also, there is way to much swerving and not enough creating space in those videos.
