Does Millisecond have camera's in truck ?

We had these at the ambulance company I worked for. Brake too hard, hit a bump to hard, etc. Took about 20 seconds (10 before/after) worth of video and email it to a supervisor for review. Some were rather funny and you could always see people glance at the camera out of the corner of their eye to see if they set if off. Not terrible.

 

That would make you an unsafe driver. If you're easily distracted please stay a "wannabe" and do not get a job driving truck.

My company has cameras in the truck. Most their gonna see is me picking my nose. Of course I drive a day cab and sleep in my own bed. Not sure how I'd feel about a camera being on me as I'm sitting in my underwear if I was still over the road.

 

some of the roads around here, the camera would be going off every 2 seconds. lol. very very bumpy ride in some areas.

 

Regardless of HOW the cameras work, or what sets them off, if you condone them---you might as well work in a bank or be in prison.

 

the sky is falling run for your life
most of the time the camera will go off
finding out another steering wheel holder
is driving poorly again
my last 4 months at transam I had a camera
only went off 5 times every time on hooking up to a trailer

learn to drive it doesn't go off

 

Cameras pointing inside the truck at the driver, or outside pointing at the road? Personally, I wouldn't tolerate either, unless it was my own dash cam to protect myself.

So cameras with senors, huh?

How about trucks now equipped with 'hard breaking' sensors, that sends a message to dispatch each time your mph drops too fast. How do those work? They've been known to go off during bump roads, and when driving through puddles of water. I personally had one go off because the speedometer dropped to 0, even though it was still accelerating and shifting normally. So it seems that the 'hard breaking' sensors are not tied to the wheels speed, but the engine.

So when you start putting sensors on stuff like hard breaking, and cameras, your going to get false positives. Depending how anal the company is, might get a phone call from dispatch each time the sensor goes off cause dispatch will be required to fill out a report and put in your statement as to what happened. I personally gave up trying to make any excuses or figure out what did it anymore, just casual "must have been a bumpy road again" and yes some areas of the country have horrible pot hole roads all over.

 

It's not that simple.

Some car cuts you off and you hit it... With a forward facing camera it is a cut and dry case, you aren't at fault. But upon reviewing the driver facing camera, you yawned 6 seconds before impact and have 9 hours on line 3.

Some lawyer is going to have a field day with that.

 

That's why I wouldn't drive any trucks with camera pointed inward. I sort of don't mind camera pointed outward since I'm not a speeder, keep good following distance, and run my own dash cam too
