My 2 cents (for what it's worth) - A lot of posts and I dont think I have seen one or so from someone that has a camera.
I have had the camera's in the truck for 4 months now. Yes, they go off often and in some cases it's due to reaction to a traffic issue or hard break yet I have not had a single "critical event" in the time Ive had the camera's. Yes - it does keep me from responding to texts, wearing my seat belt, day dreaming in bad traffic or consistently running over speed. So - with that said it's only made me and my students more aware which only means better drivers!
In the four months Ive had them - neither I nor my students have ever received a message/call regarding the thing(s) the camera has captured. Not to say there havent been times i should have but I havent heard a word.
Yes - the camera captures audio when it's on even if the truck is not moving. However, if you are not idleing the truck - the camera shuts off after 1 hr. If you are Ideling the truck - it stays on the entire time. The curtains cover the camera but audio is still available. That's the part I dont like but as I said earlier - I havent heard a word since the install.
No - dont listen to anyone's stories on here about "what they've heard". Yes we have lost drivers due to their actions caught on camera - but if you find out the truth - I am glad they are gone.
Relax - let's see what happens and stop assuming. If you want to quit over "what might happen" or "rumor" - your career in trucking will be very short at best!
Be safe! -
And my input isn't what "I heard." It's what is taking place at my terminal right now and was addressed in the last safety meeting/complaint session. -

Well I work for a state highway department and they put cameras in ALL our vehicles. There are cameras in the single axle gravel trucks, cameras in the pick up trucks, etc, EVERY vehicle has a camera in it, and some kind of gps tracking doo dad that tells them if you go over the speed limit, where you've been etc, etc, etc.
I won't be surprised if insurance companies that people have regular insurance policies for their car will require a camera in your personal car too. How you say? Easy. Your insurance premium will be $3000 dollars for six months if you choose not to have a camera in your vehicle, but your insurance premium for six months will be $400 dollars if you choose to have a camera in your vehicle - the insurance company will let you choose like that! -
Bu you don't live in your truck...to me, it's no different than if I rent an apartment and the landlord puts cameras in it. I would feel like I have no privacy and that is a basic right everyone should have
900,000-tons-of-steel Thanks this. -

So it isn't "others before us paved the way". It is those drivers presently willing to put up with the intrusion that future drivers will be referring to as the one's paving the way for cameras. -
