When you're making barely any money as it is due to deregulation of the trucking industry and high gas prices, you're going to turn around and ask truckers to blow more money?
Anyway, the more mirrors/cameras you add, the more things a driver will need to pay attention to, and the more likely a driver will miss one of the proposed 16 mirror/cams.
How about we go about doing it the same way it's been done since they've been around: Pay some damn attention/respect and give them breathing space. That or increasing their wage some 50% as it should be...
