Owner-operator John Raffone ā for President?
Does he have a chance? Probably not. This question, however, is more in line with his professed goals: Could he at least help bring trucking into the national picture in some way other than just as a punching bag?

āTampa T-Boneā from SmartDriveās Great Driving Insights series
If youāre running a road-facing dashcam of your own today, this video may just be further proof of what you already know ā the power of on-highway video to exonerate a driver whoās doing things right in the event of an accident. The SmartDrive company typically works with fleets who wish to install both road- and driver-facing cameras. If youāre not running a road-facing dashcam of your own today, forward-facing cameras that are triggered to save clips by g-force events like accidents can be had for relatively minimal cost. Brad Willis, an independent Overdrive talked to in recent times, uses a sophisticated Blue Tiger model he picked up for under $150. As he puts it in our feature on the subject of on-truck video last year, having the camera mounted visibly in the windshield has produced benefits beyond event-recording on the road. Itās also a good theft-deterrent. Contrary to incidents that occurred during the time prior to having the camera there, ānothing has been touched [by thieves] on my truck since installing it.ā Read more about it all via this link.
