    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.

    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.

    ^^^ 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.

    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.
