    He said the cameras constantly take photos and his dispatcher showed them to him.

    Man what a disgusting way to live.

    Carriers/O/O's need to stay away from them IMHO.

    Let them buy a massive fleet and earn drivers like everyone else.

    And good luck with that!

    Wow this is shameful. If drivers refuse to work for these companies they will have no choice other than to remove these..yes outward facing is great but this is just rediculous. All these companies preach safety but would rather churn through new drivers than retain experience..

    When enough people decide not to work for them, because on the intrusion, thing's will go back to normal.

    Weve got that samsara camera at work, they have helped with a couple accident where it could have been the drivers word against the car. But an A.I. camera is just too much for me. I put up with it now because the only companies that dont have cameras now are not ones I would want to work for.

    Visited an Amazon facility recently. There was almost as many cameras and other electronic gizmos as a border patrol checkpoint.
