I am sure this has been covered here but doing a search I could not find a thread where this was actually the topic. So that being said what is the brand of dash cam, GPS unit and other necessities that everyone uses or recommends.

I really don't have either, but then again I don't even have a cb in my current truck! Well that's not quite true, I do have a cb it's somewhere in one of the rear compartments I never got around to making a mount for the antenna.
At one time I did buy a dash cam from Pilot and used it for a few months but the battery charger/power cord burned up so it's back there with the cb. If I was running the road I would DEFINITELY buy a TRUCK GPS, sorry I can't recommend a brand.
Good luck with Celadon!

Are you driving a company truck or your own? Might want to check with Celadon, they may buy a camera and install it for you vs buying your own and installing it on company equipment. Ask them first if they allow cameras.

As for GPS, they have nearly become a thing of the past with smartphones. Google maps is decent for giving you an idea of where your going. You can use their street view function in a lot of areas to see what things look like and or if it's an intersection with no left turns or such. I use it a lot to give me an idea vs driving blind.

Lol thanks for the help Repete, a CB is pretty much the last thing to get on our list,so far everyone at Celadon seems okay
I figure we will end up with one of the Rand Mcnallys since they make the best maps.

Mr.Ford95 it will be a company truck, didn't even think of asking first if they will provide or even allow the cameras. I had planned on usingGoogle maps to see what the last couple of miles in to the drop place looks like. I figured using it in satellite view with street view would give a good idea of the street lay out and where parking is.

If you drive a truck you really should have a CB. Some shippers use the CB to call you to load or deliver. You can buy an inexpensive CB for around $50. It can also be used to alert you to heavy congestion, wrecks, etc.,

Ahh good point there GMAN, that is the reason we ask questions here, to find out what we don't know, we don't know lol
