Driver facing camera

Now you're starting to sound like the folks who accuse me of hating all Latinos because I only support LEGAL immigration.

 

How has it negatively affected your driving?

 

Work for a company that doesn't have cameras. Problem solved. Good god.

 

Everything I know about you was read in your posts, of which there really aren't many, and most are complaining about one thing or another including about how much you're NOT making.

 

It sounds like the company you drive for has a lot more cattle prods than just the driver facing camera. Lane departure systems, hard braking events, take a turn too fast and set off the G force sensor, automatic braking system engaging if the sensors think that overpass on the curve is a fixed object (a particular joy in icy conditions), etc. etc.

I commend you for having the good sense to get on over to the fog line to allow oversized loads safely through. That's how it should be. Unfortunately large companies that hire new drivers feel like they have to install all this new "safety equipment" to insure that their drivers are doing the right thing. That's because a significant percentage of drivers, even experienced drivers, DON'T do the right thing.

I completely understand your position in regard to "legal action" in this matter. You aren't suing the company, you are simply wanting your lawyer to draft a letter demanding to see all recorded events. That's a fair way of proceeding. I have done much the same in the past, with suppliers and customers in the past. One well crafted letter from a lawyer serves notice that you see the problem and will stand your ground. I never ever had to escalate any situation beyond that letter. The other party always recognized my intent and resolved the issue immediately...

...that being said, I think your outcome in this situation may not be resolved so quickly. You have very little leverage and the company can take the position that they can simply wait you out until you quit.

The best possible outcome for your career is to start shopping for companies that don't deploy dildo shaped cattle prods in the center of the driver's seat. Don't go on a mission to change the culture of your current company. Vote with your feet.
