Returning to an old job, I just requested an automatic and drive cam.

^ You "pinch a loaf" in the cab of your truck where a drive cam can see you?
The cab of your truck is not a place I would do something that I expect privacy. Cam installed or not.

 

I have over 1,400 posts with over 2,000 thanks. My post was not a troll, it is a discussion that goes against traditional thinking. I have driven trucks auto and manual. Cams installed and not so. With this company right now, I have a choice. I posted to discuss.

My company only has forward facing cams. Others on this thread started freaking out about a driver cam. I just went with the discussion.

Driving primarily on interstates, no one has mentioned how having a manual shift is of benefit to them. What "greater control" do you really need? Drivers only make slights on how someone who drivers an auto is somehow a lesser trucker. Childish insecurity.

I learned to drive a 4-wheeler manual, learned to drive a big rig on a manual, drove most trucking miles in a manual. I can drive a manual and not think twice. Why? What makes you a super trucker because you prefer to drive a manual transmission truck?

 

^ If you're taking a dump in your cab and keep 5 gals of Jergans around in a cams view. I can understand your sincere opposition to drive cams. For all concerned, I definitely recommend you avoid companies that have them. Not really an issue for me, for you, make cams a no-go.
