I was moved out of my 24 International into a new 25 Freightliner( happiest day in my life) that does 70 MPH ( until they turn it down at some point) 2 weeks ago and begun hearing faint voices but couldn't really hear what they where saying. I would start hear said voices so I muted radio, wouldn't hear anything for awhile turned radio back on, hear voice again. repeat several times and think it must be on CB even though its not showing any incoming transmissions.

I do not hear it often, so it was hard to track down. it would just randomly come in. Go back and forth between muting CB and radio still no luck. Started thinking I had finally completely lost my marbles and was hearing things. One day last week I was on the my headset with another driver and finally made out what it said "following distance".

Turns out the cameras in the new truck talk to you with "audible" alerts for certain things before it records. Luckily I was not going insane

I don't know how you drivers of today can stand all the new fangled devices in these trucks. Electronic logs , sensors going for everything, cameras watching your every move and now they are talking to you too. I am so glad that my 44 years ended in 2011 before all the follies.

Electronic Logs:

Electronic Onboard Recorder

Electronic Logbook

A device which records the amount of time a vehicle has been driven. If the vehicle is not being driven, the operator will manually input whether or not he/she is on duty or not.

Did you get a Netradyne?

It triggers me for seatbelt violation if i wear a loose fitting bra or none at all. The camera is oppressive towards female breasts. Or, maybe it likes them and wants to keep taking pictures of them.

🤣😂😅

OOS:

When a violation by either a driver or company is confirmed, an out-of-service order removes either the driver or the vehicle from the roadway until the violation is corrected.

OMGosh, yall are too funny. The one thing we DONT have are driver facing cameras. I do like the sensor on the right side of our trucks when something or someone is on your right side, but it’s a PITA if that something is a guardrail and you’re trying to make a right turn and the truck is alarming and doesn’t want to move 😁

I bet you can turn the volume up on your little voice. Our trucks talk to us too. It’s annoying and can be turned way down also.
