Knowing how many blindspots and how difficult it must be to maneuver a big rig in tight areas...does anyone have cameras pointed towards the front bumper area, rear bumper area, right side, left side with tv monitors so you can see all these areas from the drivers area...?

So when you are making a right or left turn, changing lanes...you can see how much room you have to complete the turn or if the area is clear by looking at your dashboard monitors without having to look at your mirrors?

Are people using these systems in big rigs and does anyone here have such a system in their rig?

Thanks.
