    Does ol JB have in cab cameras to monitor drivers? I'm a safe driver (7 years no accidents) but I don't like the idea of big brother being able to pull up a screen and watch what I'm doing at any moment. Also, do they allow you to upgrade the radios in the trucks?

    I think that would be a grey area, what I mean is for a "day" cab it might not be illegal, but for a sleeper it may be. That now becomes your bedroom/changeing room. Clothing stores are not allowed to put camera's in the changeing rooms ( or bathrooms). So I would think that they couldn't put camera's in a truck that you have to "live" in.

    Holy cow could you imagine the law suite if a female driver found out that a male..errrr IDK on what to call that job... was watching her change clothing every day?

    I am pretty sure they dont do that, cause of the law suits. Most of the time when the add thing to trucks the drivers are notified.

    that's what one guy posted is a grey area, If it was a sleeper cab it would be.
