Camera's are coming to a truck near you or Yours.

No one has said its the insurance companies that are currently driving this. Go back and read post #235. The comment was that insurance companies might require them in the future.

 

Ahh yea " eventually" it says and my post said who are they gonna hit first ?

I am not really seeing the confusion you have there.

I never said that they require now.

 

You pointed out that big fleets have far more accidents than small fleets therefore insurance companies are more likely to go after the big fleets. But the big fleets don't use insurance companies. Therefore if insurance companies ever decide to require cameras, or offer discounts for using them, they will do so with smaller fleets rather than big fleets because smaller fleets are who the insurance companies insure.

 

Okay , do you completely understand what "self-insured"means ?

Yes , it means they do not use a insurance co like you and I do for our personal vehicles . They use what is called a "risk retention group" so they could at any point in time go to the company and say hey this may be a good way to make drivers be more cautious as they are being watched..

 

A risk management group is not an insurance company. If risk management is what you meant, risk management is what you should have said.

 

Then it should be pointed more to the drivers with low safety scores, as opposed to all drivers.
Hopefully that is how it would work.

 

So its an invasion of privacy because you said so. I'm sure you're aware that 'because I said so' doesn't often work too well in legal matters.

 

It's a very slippery slope. One can argue that a driver driving a company truck. Has no expectation of privacy while drive the truck. Fine but when said driver stops for the night closes the window curtain. Then the driver should have an expectation of privacy. But the camera can see some what. in the back of sleeper. And what if the driver is changing clothes ......but I know the camera would NEVER come on when that happens.
