    By the way, the safety guy told me insurance is why the cameras got installed and I believe him. I don't know exactly how it works but I'm pretty sure the camera maker somehow colludes with the insurance industry to effectively "force" companies into purchasing their product/service.

    They will indeed, and you don't have to worry about the camera causing anyone to accuse you of doing stuff wrong based on what some insurance yahoo thinks is the right way to drive a company 18-wheeler with a governed engine.

    yes.

    the fact of the matter is if it was your company and you had a driver such as yourself doing the same things you would as well react the same way.

    the fact of the matter is you rolling through stop signs is a safety score issue for the company. Higher rates.

    you following to close and not having any time to react if a crash happens in front of you is also an automatic “it’s your fault” on your record and the companies as well.

    so stop the childish bs. Fix your driving habits and stop complaining about the camera that’s there to help you in such cases.


    We get it not your truck not your problem.

    You really think that camera is there to help the driver? Outward facing cameras CAN help you, the inward facing ones are ONLY there to hurt you.

    The last company I worked for my truck got backed into at a Loves. I was in the sleeper, curtains closed and eating a sub from Subway when the accident happened. I just so happened to stand up and take my last bite the moment he hit me.The safety idiot wasn't concerned that he hit me so hard he knocked me over and it cut my finger open on something sharp inside the truck. No, what did he do? He accused me of not doing enough to prevent the accident.

    So no, when the people viewing the videos are idiots, the cameras won't help you at all.

    Are you? I quoted an incident that happened to me personally where the outward facing camera was used against me parked in a parking lot when I got hit.

    And my response was to:

    Put down the doobie and stay out of my business. I didn't reply to you, this has nothing to do with you.

    So stick it where the lord split ya. Stay in your lane.

    Again the front facing camera. SMH. You know the one that sees you following too close.

    You keep doubling down on your mistake. Instead of acknowledging it.

    And again, I quoted an incident where the FRONT FACING CAMERA was used against me.

    And you keep sticking your nose into someone else's lane. Stay out of my business, dude. This has nothing to do with you. You were never quoted. So go the #### away.
