What about recording audio in the cab or sleeper???? Anyone with any knowledge???
-
Hearing swift have audio. Not really sure who else, I just work for companies that don't have them, pretty simple
Canned Spam, voodoolady24 and Out of line Thank this. -
Yeah. No shortage of companies that don't.
-
only company I know has in cab recorders is NFI. I'm sure there are others. As far a sleeper area. Its up to you to keep it private. There only suppose to record the driver while the truck is in operation. but they can turn the camera on and treat you like a reality show. Why would anyone work for a company like that is beyond me,
-
I would record a "Swift sucks" song with crude references to the DM's and play it all the time. We'd find out how much they really record.
-
They say the camera is supposedly motion activated. Here's the thing. When I drove for CEMEX they had cameras in all the mixers, driver & forward facing.
On two separate occasions, very late in the day, like I'm the last mixer out, then everyone can crack a cold one, I was unloading at the rear of the truck, then went to the cab to relocate. At that exact time, the boss called me on the radio, and ask what my ETA was back to the plant. There is no way, no way that is that much of a coincidence. He could watch any truck, anytime on his laptop, No way that dude sat and called me for 45 minutes until I just happened to be back in the cab.
Also
By the collective bargaining agreement of the Local, a driver could not be punished for something that was on the camera ( talking on the phone, jerking off ) unless the camera was activated by the driver ( motion - hard brake, hard lateral movement or the driver actually activating it ). Why do you need a rule like that in an official collective bargaining agreement, if they can't see you?
If you drive for a company that has them, and you want to do the nasty, or just don't want them looking at you when your stopped, hang your hat over it. During the day when your driving, who cares, I'd sing into the camera, pick my nose, I bet they didn't watch me more than necessary.
And the dam thing would go off all the time, driving a mixer is big truck with square wheels.bottomdumpin Thanks this.
