    Just a hypothetical. You have no camera for inside the truck and you’re on your last strike. Your co driver makes you hit someone or something to try to get you fired. Let’s say he or she is poking you in the eye so you can’t check your mirror. How does the company figure things in out?

    I look forward to Triplesixs usual informative comment, paranoia at its best here. What on earth would ever make you think this might happen? I don't believe a mere "co-driver" would be capable of such actions, and if by chance they do, you should see it coming. People with bad intent have bigger things to focus on, not hour after hour staring out a windshield. What would they gain? Then THEY would have to do all the driving. I realize, my info is limited, and I suppose, some "mishuga" might do that, but not bloody likely. Maybe in the computer or entertainment industry, where self promotion is paramount and you can hide behind a screen, but not trucking,,not yet I hope.

    I’d hypothetically beat his face in with a tire thumper and make him tell the boss he got the injury's from an accidental non work related fall. But this of course is just hypothetical.
