Every camera company is a bad company.

The FMCSA regulates the trucking industry and is bound by constitutional law.

 

Is the FMCSA requiring every truck to have a camera?

 

No they do not require inward facing cameras.

 

Every automatic transmission truck company is a bad company.

 

Better fuel economy and lower maintenance costs = more money available for personnel expenses.

How is that a bad thing?

 

If you think an auto delivers on either of these things, you need a drug test.

 

i dont those amendments apply i read camera laws my state they say if there is no expectation of privacy you can be filmed. when ur driving there is no expectation of privacy. far too many people misunderstand how this laws work filming.

if ur gonna argue against cameras in trucks. DONT go that route u jist tried. however cameras in sleeper birth where u have expectation of privacy that would be illegal.

most drivers prefer no cameras from what i seen. some comapnies that dont use cameras will be a selling point to recruit more drivers. cameras do not always increase company safety scores it only improves clarity of situations which may show driver do stuff not supposed to etc. caught speedong maybe when he wouldnt of without the cameras etc. can work against the trucking companies as much or more than work for them as far as safety scores.

 

Mass surveillance may be legal but it's UnConstitutional.

Surveillance Under the USA/PATRIOT Act

 

We have only had ONE auto fail in our fleet, and that was when a wrecker driver didn't remove the driveshaft when towing a truck in for a faulty ignition switch under warranty.

And out trucks get 8.5-9 mpg loaded @ 78,000 lbs. Take that and smoke it

 

It’s a double edged sword.
I’ve had three Freightliner Cascadias with automatic transmissions fail-the last one the gears had actually split in the housing-took 5 days for Detroit to send a replacement transmission under warranty and another day and a half to program it. My current truck (KW T-680 with the Eaton Endurant 12 speed automatic transmission) is starting to show signs of issues (hesitation to go into gear-transmission gear indicator flashes gear number for about 2-3 seconds before engaging) with only 190,000 miles on the clock.
