And besides that the zoo keepers want to keep an eye on the monkeys in their cages.

That's one I'll never live down Jumbo. Gotta admit, it was pretty funny!

I am too RR9501. I was thinking about posting it when it gets here so that everyone could see what a DAC looks like. I'm expecting it anytime.

The industry is evolving quickly, kicked square in the nuts by high fuel prices and an economy in recession. They days of carriers, local or OTR, small or large, being able to tolerate inefficiency, wastefulness and carelessness are over.

Such invasive, active monitoring devices are touted to ensure compliance and efficiency and as a defensive tool in lawsuits/litigation. We'll see huh?

I agree and if the EOBR's work like the airplane cockpit recorder then I'm for it cause it'll help the reconstruction team determine what the driver's actions was before the crash to help determine who was at fault.
