The driver-facing cameras. Is it true when they say that safety dept just watch the triggered incidents from driver error? Or can they ease-drop in on any old thing they are curious about. The HAL 9000 talking computer from 2001 Space Odysee is always watching me.

All of these devices have a hard time seeing through aluminum foil. Take the hat off your head and place it over the camera.
G13Tomcat Thanks this. -
I'm a big fan of dash cams. I have them in every single truck I own. I do not like driver facing ones though and I tell every one of my drivers that the cameras are on a 2 hour loop then record over itself. use it if you want, don't if you don't want to. if you do and I shouldnt see it then maybe the sim card dissappeared, but if something happens and you need evidence the other guys lying, it's good to know you had that thing on.
G13Tomcat Thanks this. -
^^^ Only when the foil hat is on the lens, right, 'Sep? LoL.. AND DON'T DRINK in the sleeper, dangit! @Giuseppe Ventolucci .... LoL.
AND . . . take that safety vest off @bzinger & @tucker ... !!
OP, to answer your question, it's anybody's guess. Go spend a day with dispatch before you take the job, and "see" what they see. . . or the FM's, or something. I would. Personally, I would.tucker, bzinger, Giuseppe Ventolucci and 1 other person Thank this. -
Like Rockwell says: " I always feel like, somebody's watching me"

I am leased to a company that has them in their company trucks. I do not have one in mine, but I do receive the fleetwide QC Messages, such as this one.
If there was ever any doubt that they are watching more than just critical events, this should put it to rest.Attached Files:
