Micro-management With Dashcams

Class a truck driver

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The company has newer equipment.

Cons

This company micro-manages every thing you do with their onboard cameras. The statement they tell you in orientation "we only see the cameras when it is triggered in an event" is not a truthful. This company uses the cameras to check up on you all the time. The managers actually don't even know what they are looking at. Clueless!

Hi, The outward-facing camera is only triggered when there is a safety event or when the driver pushes the green button on the SmarDrive device.

Good place to start OTR experience.

Pay and quality of equipment. My truck has been in the shop many times and has caused me to miss out on miles and money.

Hi, we appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. Our shops will provide loaner trucks if you will be out of your truck for several days. Please be sure to ask about this option. You can also speak with your terminal leadership about getting a newer truck that is in better condition to drive long-term.
