No. We have outward (roadway) facing cameras only. They are designed to record in 20-second intervals when certain qualifying events occur, such as harsh braking, making hard turns, following too closely to vehicles, and similar actions.
What do you do for physicals?
Jeff Foster Trucking covers the cost of a new hire's DOT drug screening, along with a physical agility test to ensure you can meet the job's physical demands as stipulated by our insurance. When a driver is hired with us, we will pay for your regular DOT physical.

Drivers are permitted to bring along a maximum of two furry companions, requiring a $500 deposit for each pet, documentation of current vaccinations, and proof of renters or homeowners insurance.
Rider Policy?
Following the completion of a successful 90-day probationary period, drivers may have passengers (ages 12-72) accompany them, provided they have a signed authorization form from their driver manager and/or HR/Safety.
