Spy ware in the truck??

BS!!! ... Your truck is your home!

 

If you own the truck it's your home. If you're driving somebody else's truck you're an employee and they can install anything they want to.
If you're an employee you have no expectation of privacy. Believe that. It's going to get worse, too. The company is allowed to monitor your driving and your work habits while you're on duty. Just like cameras in stores or warehouses or offices, we'll now have cameras in trucks. Better get used to it.
They are not allowed to monitor you while you're off duty but other than that they have every right to keep track of what you're doing while you work.
I don't know of any drivers that like that situation but it's what's coming. Learn to deal with it or change professions.

 

Nah! ... Until the government mandates it there will always be companies without them! Believe that! You can have your mega companies with their mega BS

 

Fine!!!! ... They can get it there themselves!!!!
.. This is not acceptable, any company that pushes this issue should be banned, if they don't have a driving force, they will change their tune real quick!!

 

How would tenants feel if an apartment complex had cameras inside of them, using the idea that the apartment complex belongs to the landlord, not the tenant? How would tenants feel if they had to go outside of the apartment complex to make a personal phone call?

After awhile, it would feel like a police state.

 

Two different things all together buddy.

 

Last time I checked no lives in our office.....same thing for the trucks too.

 

Hey, I don't like it either. But it's the way things are going. You can get as pissed off as you want...and I don't blame you a bit...but it's not going to change anything. It's coming and you need to get ready for it.
Trucking companies, to protect themselves, are doing everything they can to monitor the operation of their trucks. Cameras are just part of that plan.
The driver, whether you admit it or not, is the weak spot in the safety picture. Scream and yell all you want to, most truck wrecks are because of driver error. Period. The insurance companies understand this and they pretty much make the rules these days.
Like I said, I don't like it either. We don't have cameras in our trucks and we won't put them in until they make us but we realize that it's going to happen.

LOL...I remember when the drivers were all upset about having the old Tachograph speed charts installed in their trucks. That was a lot of years ago. All the hot heads threatened to quit then too. They got used to it. They dealt with it. Nobody quit and everybody survived.
So, get used it. Find a way to deal with it. Or don't...and see how well you do at starting another occupation. Nobody is irreplaceable. If you get mad and quit the next guy will be in the seat before it even cools off.

 

Many years ago in high school, over 40 years ago, (graduated in 1975), an old history teacher had told the entire class this statement, with his deep gravelly voice:

If they can get rid of the President of the United States of America, they can sure as hell get rid of you! Nobody, but nobody is irreplaceable!

To this day, I have never forgotten what that history teacher put out to the class. The history teacher was referring to the day President Nixon resigned to avoid being impeached from his position. All this occurred during the Watergate scandal.

 

Not in the cab of the truck, that part is not your home, that's your work station, your home part in in the bunk, that's your private part, close your curtain!
