    My how times have changed. I worked for Millis in 2001-2002. 70 mph trucks. Paper logs, "hot loads", etc. now cameras. Ha ha.

    I've yet to see any evidence of this claim you make that they turn the cameras on at random for any reason or none at all, without your knowledge.

    I'm tired of reading baseless accusations, with no proof to back it up, and everyone assuming its true.

    Good thing we don't live in the Puritan era, because you'd be burning innocent people at the stake and pinning scarlet letters on everybody.

    If you want proof cover the camera up with something and see what happens. I have a friend that works for Equity Transportation and he had suspensions so he put black tape on it and drove extra careful two days later with no "events" he was called in to the shop company said somethings wrong with his computer so there you go put two and two together!

    I was gonna suggest a piece of electrical tape over the lense or just disable the camera all together..

    I see uou work for a different company. Your company obviously uses the cameras differently.

    At Millis, they jump your ### everytime you stop at a stop sign for less than 5 seconds, cuz it takes about 5 seconds before the 'puter recognized that you stopped already.

    And how would one produce this "evidence" without having a friend in the office?

    I seriously doubt that if these cameras come on automatically during a hard braking event, there is nothing in the way they are set up where they can't be activated on demand. That would be naïve at best.

    Well then, if you can dispute any of it, please do.

    Or are you not actually a driver? inquiring minds would love to know.

    Yes, it's a VERY good thing we moved from the age of scarlet letters to the age of the DAC report. What an improvement.:rolleyes:

    Thats how 'ole Mikey Millis did me back in the day...

    The next outfit I went to work for (Bud Meyer Truck Lines) asked me during a phone convo "does anybody ever leave there on good terms" ??

    He went on to say "we have quite a few ex-Millis drivers and they all have had problems so we don't look real hard at what Millis put on your DAC"..

    I thought that was funny..
     
    WisconsinF150 and OPUS 7 Thank this.

    Well I can see that Millis has not changed with the kids. I worked there back in early '80's when the 'ol man was running the show and Mikey was screwing things up back then. I was a local driver working at there West Milwaukee yard hauling beer out of Miller and Pabst and bringing in glass from a warehouse to the Breweries, The 'ol man goes on vacation and Mikey takes over and decides to put in Tripmasters an early elog I guess in all the trucks, and of course all the east coast loads were hot and those Cab Overs could fly down the road. Well because of the Tripmasters the DOT comes in and checks to see if they are put in the right way. Well they got a $12,500 fine for log books, that's a lot for the 80's, on top of what Mikey spent on the Tripmasters for all trucks, cannot believe that he inherited the business when the 'ol man retired.....
