seen there was a thread for companies /w cameras, but wanted to start one for no inward/driver facing cams only (outward facing is ok)
please leave opinions/debates for or against out of this thread. only purpose is to help drivers find the few companies still left that dont have them yet. besides everyone has already heard the usual talking points for either side of it many times over and already have their own minds made up on it. so please only reply with companies only
@Chinatown has already mentioned marten and elite express as verified not having driver facing cameras in another thread that got moved to "seek employment" section that was specific to my job seeking situation but wanted to start this specific one in this section alongside the companies with cameras thread where more drivers are likely to see it and respond to it and it will be of use to others this is important/high priority to. thanks

Cardinal Logistics, outward facing only.
IAmNothing Thanks this. -
I heard KB transportation has no cameras at all after they lost a multi million dollar lawsuit in a fatality accident because of the camera snitiching technically. In court turned out to be Driver’s fault so the company just removed the cameras altogether because it was more cost-effective.

Moon_beam, Bud A., joshr2216 and 1 other person Thank this. -
TMC transportation (flatbed), same thing as KB transportation. TMC took the inward-facing cameras out after too many lost lawsuits/settlements from really bad accidents, driver privacy concerns & office staff harassment at drivers. TMC has outward facing cameras.Moon_beam, Bud A. and IAmNothing Thank this.

i called my old ops manager at tmc yesterday and he told me they havent been using driver facing cameras like ihaveaquestion said, but he said they just sent out a message about getting new cameras that are capable of it but will be "capped off"(covered) not used. said they were trimble cameras which i know nothing about. told me they currently have no plans to use driverfacingcam/make them mandatory but does not know what may happen years later/in the future

another crazy thing that companies can do because you to use them on your phone.. is they can have spyware installed on them so when your phone is mounted.. They’re still watching you from your own device.. they also do that to be able to see where you are with your device (minority report like) during your 10 hour break, just waking up or powering down, device texting/web surfing, if you are asleep when you are awake, when you start using your phone for GPS. Drivers don’t realize it, but they have these features and capabilities. THEY JUST DON’T TALK ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT’S HIGHLY ILLEGAL BUT WE’VE ALL SEEN WHAT THE POLICE CAN DO OR WHAT GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS/OFFICERS CAN DO. People aren’t stupid they just don’t have the tools or financial resources.Last edited: Mar 13, 2024

Any trucking company that deploys this type of feature would be sued into bankruptcy. Facebook listens to keywords to sell your data, tracks your location and tracks the websites you visit with the Facebook pixel. But even Facebook isn’t bold enough to tap into the camera portion of your phone. Tapping into the camera of your phone is no different than having cameras in the bathroom.Last edited: Mar 15, 2024
