Looks like cams are coming

You don't get it. The camera is not there for you, only to protect the company. Drivers do not matter, money and liability matter.
The company will filp on a driver for a nickle in a hot minute.

You better worry about it they will hang you with it, it is always your fault, even when you follow their direction.
It does not matter which company, there all the same some just candy coat it a bit better.

If it ever got to the point whether a camera would determine whether or not I got fired from a company, I think more than likely, I would've been fired even without the camera. The camera is just added proof on their side.

No one's saying the camera is there to protect the driver. It's the company's camera in the company's truck, of course they are looking out for their interest. Likewise, if for whatever reason they pull the images and see the driver driving in a reckless manner, they'll probably fire the driver or discipline him at the least.

With all the pats on the back and all the atta boys they give, it is a fine line we deal with the company. But that is the nature of our industry. You can be the best driver for umpteen years, do something stupid and it's all for naught. It reminds me of a joke,

A Scottish old timer in Scotland, in a bar, talking to a young man.

The Old Man says, "Lad, look out there to the field. Do ya see that fence? Look how well it's built. I built that fence stone by stone with me own two hands. I piled it for months."

"But do they call me McGreggor-the-Fence-Builder? Nooo..."

Then the old man gestured at the bar. "Look here at the bar. Do ya see how smooth and just it is? I planed that surface down by me own achin' back. I carved that wood with me own hard labour, for eight days."

"But do they call me McGreggor-the-Bar-builder? Nooo..."

Then the old man points out the window. "Eh, Laddy, look out to sea...Do ya see that pier that stretches out as far as the eye can see? I built that pier with the sweat off me back. I nailed it board by board."

"But do they call me McGreggor-the-Pier-Builder? Nooo..."

Then the old man looks around nervously, trying to make sure no one is paying attention.

"But ya have sex one goat..."
