    I’m not sure what your analogy means.But if they do have driver facing camera if you did as he said,and did your job correctly the driver facing camera isn’t going to come on.I personally think more guys have a camera on them then they even know since it’s my understanding that a lot of the eld devices have cameras in them I’m not sure about that someone else told that to me

    Oh, another one who actually believes that the camera only comes on whenever it's triggered (despite the fact that 100s of companies are sitting there watching you whenever they want to)

    The dude at my company called me one time and asked why I was moving the truck and had tape over the camera. I had to explain to him that I moved from the parking spot to the fuel island and that I wasn't uncovering it until I went out onto an actual street.

    Yes Walmart does micromanage. But you can easily make $90K if you play their rules. Or you can keep driving for a Feet and Farts express Mega and wish you were a Walmart driver. It’s your choice.

    I spoke w a manager at the local DC to discuss current conditions, as I'm tiring of my current gig, and was told they are doing driver compensation surveys to see where they need to bump pay in order to keep up with the market.
    It was acknowledged that the wage they currently offer has not kept pace w pay trends for experienced drivers. Was told they want 24 more drivers.

    I agree driver but when guys think Wally World is still a cream of the crop job they need to do some research. It’s definitely not a bad gig if that life style is in your wheelhouse
