I wish I had the time for it but the setup time it takes for cameras and mics and possible multiple redo of certain things would not be possible.

I run a dash cam 24/7/365. Points out the front window and back at me. The new thing it shows is me talking on a blue tooth or listening to the radio. Maybe the occasional nose pick or crotch scratch.

Trucking is who I am and what I am to the core. My retirement party will be the morgue technician prying my cold dead hands off the steering wheel.... Happy thought huh? Lol.

While most things that happen out here falls under state laws there are a few that fall under federal in which I want no part of. Did you know you can get federal jail time for false logs? Yep its a federal document the second you sign it. Well video does not lie and if I have a video witness then I have covered all my bases.

Not to mention you would not believe how many Dot officers will not go any where near the inside of my truck once I tell, obligated by law, them that I am video and audio recording the area directly in front of my truck at a 180 degree angle and also the entire front part of the inside of the cab. Lol. It's my protection and my weapon.

Thing is I don't have to stop recording. Only have to inform others that I am doing so and if they choose to stand within audio and video range then they are agreeing to be on video.

So in closely I believe in being completely safe while on the road. If it's not safe then it has no place on my roadway.

that does seem like a good way to stay covered, however the opposite is true is you do something bad but we know you never will :D

DOT:

Department Of Transportation

A department of the federal executive branch responsible for the national highways and for railroad and airline safety. It also manages Amtrak, the national railroad system, and the Coast Guard.

State and Federal DOT Officers are responsible for commercial vehicle enforcement. "The truck police" you could call 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.

I have seen the end result of "something bad" happening and it's not something I want happen. Inattention behind the wheel.... Well there is no excuse for it. I bet many would agree if they ever had to hold their best friends neck together till the paramedics arrived only to have them still pass on. He was turning into my driveway but did not see the on coming van because he was texting on the phone.
