Also, I'd be more than willing to be a regular contributor. Give me a topic or an idea and I can run with it.

Plus I can do all my own editing and save you some time and headache!

Feel free to use any of mine!

I can email you the files to some of them if you'd rather do that.

I wish I still had the file for the Trainee Tips video. That would be perfect.

But I still have the file for the Trucking Tools video which would be a good one.

Let me know.

I love my Rand McNally 100. Love's has them for $100.

It records excellent footage, good enough for YouTube. 1080p HD which is great for videos but you can turn the resolution down as well.

I would definitely recommend investing in at least one larger SD card if you are wanting to save footage. The 4G card it comes with is fine for loop recording with the impact sensor turned on if you're using it only as a traditional dash cam. I have 2 32g cards that I swap out daily. It's super easy to pull footage onto a laptop via either th card itself if you have a slot or it comes with a USB cord you can use.

I can't really help with the driver facing part, sorry.

I ADORE the lunchbox cooker I bought recently. It would be perfect for you since you're home every weekend. Make up enough foil pans of food on the weekends to last through the week, cover with foil, and pop in your fridge. About an hour or two before stopping for the day, pop one in the cooker and dinner is waiting when you're parked! Casseroles work really well for this. I have a few lunchbox cooker videos up on my YouTube channel if you want to see some stuff you can make.

Foil pans, paper plates and plastic utensils make clean up super easy.

And yes, you should join BTC on Facebook. Tons of great ideas and nice people. I'm a member as well.

Just gimme a shout if you have any questions. I'll keep an eye on this thread.

Hey!

They most likely won't give you a choice and put you out of Olathe unless you live in or near Texas.

Rockwell has a secondary fleet of white trucks that only run Texas.

I drove for them for 6 months and only went to Rockwall twice, once being for hometime in Dallas.

And honestly you'll do better out of Olathe. It's a much much larger terminal and all the major offices are there.

Looks great on my iPhone. I like that layout much better than the existing one.

If I'm at home, I don't even pick up the phone if dispatch calls unless it's the day before I'm to come back out. My DM usually calls the day before to see if I'm still good to go at my scheduled time or not. I've come back out a few hours early. It's usually because that's the only load they have in my area which is ok. I know I live in a low freight area.

Memphis is just a BLAST when it rains! Especially on 40 with all those sharp curves and crazy 4-wheelers.

When were you in Memphis? It wasn't raining when we went through this morning.

Sorry, off topic. Just curious!
