Hahaha I'll be surprised if they are straight up about it...so that word gets around the fleet and drivers quit in waves? They arent stupid. That convo about the cams got you buggin a little don't it?

 

Well...its really a money game as to why companies are going towards driver facing cameras. Whatever they can save on insurance wise, I can't say I necessarily blame them. The industry is headed in that direction and I can see all companies adopting that into their practices. The big powerhouses for companies guard their safety score with their lives. The thought of it used to bother me, but as time has progressed, I just saw which way the industry was headed. I liken it to the elog mandate. It was clear that we were headed for elogs I think back in 2011 or 2012. The big companies set the tone, and everyone else falls in line. It's what happens in a society in which big businesses have the upper hand. Big money = trendsetters.

 

That's true....also..these companies need some sort of defense mechanism when 4 wheelers #### up and have an accident, and it ain't the truckers fault. They sue, and get awarded huge sums of money. Look at the 90 million awarded to the lady down in Texas that hit the Werner truck.....
