    Couldn't use them for discipline unless there was more than 10K in property damage, or serious bodily harm in an accident.

    Yeah some of our trucks had them. Most drivers tore them out though and there was not much repercussion from management. The cameras only faced out and they really couldn't use them against us if something happened. Even if, we had a guy that ran over a vehicle after running a red light and then went about his day without stopping. Management fired him and he was back two weeks later.

    The dude was fired two previous times and like my psycho ex girlfriend, he kept coming back. He was finally gone for good when the company tanked, but then again so were the rest of us.

    OK, then what? Do they call you in for the day and have someone finish your route? Someone come out to pick you up because you're fatigued and they don't want you driving? Even back to the terminal? Seems like if they are aware you are fatigued and allow you to continue working, and get injured or cause injury/death, that sounds like a huge lawsuit just waiting to happen. So I guess my question is if it deems you as being fatigued what is the protocol after that?
