This is why I went out and got my own truck and got my own authority. People net , Cameras, radars and the like. I book my own freight and go where and when I want. No radar on my truck. No cameras. This industry is a disaster because people take these jobs. Once drivers refuse , they will Change. But I don’t see anyone refusing these jobs anytime soon.

[@georgegeorgepht]

melanated and loving it with a melanated woman experience first. Lots of it. Then I got a truck. Saved money and built credit. Then I got a trailer. Then authority. It’s a long expensive project. But worth while in the end. I been trucking since 2003 and with my own authority since 2006 (only 6 months. I got sick and closed down. Need health insurance thru a normal job). Kept trucking for others and repoed my authority in 2015. Been running under it since. First dry van. Cause the trailer is cheap. Then saved up and got a reefer. It’s not easy. Some days I wish I didn’t do it. So days I lose a months worth of money in a day or one mistake. Sht breaks. And when your alone , it gets expensive. You have to be very mech inclined. And own lots of tools and be able to fix most things on your own. That’s the difference between most guys making it or not. If u can stay out the shops, u can make some money. But the shops will bankrupt u quick if you don’t know what your doing. Go to my channel and see the truck I’m building now. I’m in that thing 27k for just the motor bill alone. But that’s a full out of frame rebuild. Plus price of truck. Plus my time taking it apart to the point I found the bad crank. It’s a roller coaster. I can go on an on. But will end with this, it is what u make of it. You work hard, educate yourself before you make a decision , work hard again, and say good by to your friends. U will be gone all the time and never see them. It’s lonely at times. Very lonely. But this is what I’m good at and what seems to be my fit. It’s not for everyone. Good luck.

[@the.porter.productions]

George George ,🇺🇸 You made some interesting points...It IS what you make of it and going to the shops is expensive!

Eveyone in the comments seens to have a problem with the inward facing camera, its because they wanna use their phones or reach something while driving, if you got nothing to hide then you got nothing to worry about, it's not like they are watching constantly 24/7, it only triggers when an event occurs (at least it's what I like to believe). Everything else offered on the truck you don't see from other companies very often like leather seats and steering wheel, and 68mph pedal/70mph cruise, that alone is huge.

nice truck I will buy one of this truck.. but how much is it ?

[@MOONSHADOW-jx2tw]

So does SMITH apply Cameras for ALL employess office shop etc . in the event of injury for insurance purposes. Or is this for drivers only Hummer Trucking is forward facing only

[@TheTulsaTrucker]

I am all for outward facing cameras but would never work for a company who feels the need to to have one pointing into my office and life. Either you trust your drivers or you don’t. I am sure not a single person at the office has a front facing camera looking at them all day?? No, didn’t think so!! Amazing how a large Company Like Prime Inc. can say we will NEVER do this to our drivers but these little guys who try and save a few bucks on Insurance will say “No One Is Watching unless there is a critical Event”. Please what a load of crap. If you trusted your drivers you would have the inward facing cameras. Just another company saying we Appreciate you drivers BUT we don’t trust you. What a load of 💩

[@leir2005]

It is a complete load of crap. All companies with inward facing cameras periodically review the footage and dock the driver for things like texting, reaching for something, reading a map. Anything they can classify as distracted driving. Rack up one too many of these recorded incidences and you're history

[@stacysmith8187]

Audio is only recorded when an event triggers the camera. So only 12 seconds of audio is ever heard. There is no live view available to us, forward or rear facing. The drivers privacy is taken very seriously and you could ask any of the current or past drivers and they would attest to this. Pretty certain we would have many negative reviews if we were abusing the cameras. And it isn't about trusting our drivers, if we didn't they wouldn't be put behind the wheel in the first place, it is about protecting us and the drivers against false claims.

WoW awesome Rig buddy , So i rekon 70% of Australian Kenworths are not using that Engine, maybe its a horsepower thing , or because over the last year they have opened up a hell of alot more HWY’s an Major Roads allowing us to pull , 2 ~ 3 ~ 4 Trailer RoadTrains ,, So trust me when i say after pulling a B ~ Triple or A B Triple RoadTrain Grossing anywere up 120 Tonnes u need a Engine with ridiculous amount of torque an that wil pull like there’s no tomorrow,, Anything under 600 H/P an u constantly looking at the dash trailer brake lever or the Air Brake Button thinking mayb u left them on ,, 😖, So what are your honest opinion on that Engine, , ?? I really miss the old style C16 or C15 CAT , The way they use to pull an sound with a set of sporty mufflers , 😍😍,, an if the Engine Brake wasnt rattling the Road Signs well u jus wasn’t having a go ,, lol ,,
