Crazy Idea.

Lol Stand at the dock and watch the loaders....Back up cameras are a PITA in a regular car/SUV, much less a tractor-trailer. In the 1990's I worked for Waste Management Trash company. We had some backing accidents over the years. It took 1 of our immigrant helpers getting run over at the dump, not once, but twice! by the driver. Of course killing him, since his head was crushed under the duals!, Talk about a safety nightmare, for office personel going out to that mess. Soon after our 200 trucks were outfitted with brake lock up devices, that picked up movement in back @ 6+ feet. Eventually, we had to convert them all over to overhead cameras, with small 4 inch black & white monitors in-cab....I never could use those parking trucks at night after working on em....Later, the monitors were swapped out for bigger 8 inch screens, same thing worthless, using to back up, good to see someone run/walk/stand behind it is all.

And by the way, it was moving forward.

A week or so ago, someone suggested here using a camera to better learn about backing. The next four replies all were in the "No" category. Simple as that.

Best way to learn is to watch as you back up, and Get Out And Look

My rookie mistake was forging to check my mirror. Lesson kearned.

I hope you check your mirrors more thoroughly than you check your spelling

Actually, a lot of the new Knight trailers have cameras inside. It's powered by a small solar panel that allows dispatch to "ping" a trailer to get a hard location and pull it up on a satellite view. Then they can look inside to verify if it's loaded or unloaded.

"Forging" may be correct. Andy could have sent in a "GOAL Plate" * message without really getting out!

That's a Swift thing, if you don't get it. Sorry.

Brett is in good ole NY kicked back with a Genny Cream Ale (do they even make those anymore?) laughing at all of us who have fat fingers!

Genny Cream Ale (do they even make those anymore?)

I'm not sure but that's the first type of beer I ever tasted! My dad kept a little out in the garage and I remember taking one and trying it when no one else was home. It was awful of course.

I believe Matt still produces Cream Ale (I've seen it in stores) the brewery is about 3.5 miles from my home.
