Sorry if this has already been posted. But a friend of mine who worked for JBS, said that they are installing dash cams in all their trucks. The dash cam has two camera's. One that faces the front of the truck. And one that faces the driver. When the truck has a sudden jerk, hits a bump or has a hard break, the camera records 8 seconds prior and 8 seconds afterwards.
They used the camera to revoke his safety bonus, because he wasn't wearing his seat belt when he hit a bump in the parking lot of a receiver.. Then once again, when he was backing into a dock door too hard.. Apparently, JBS has a seat belt rule that says if you're behind the wheel and moving, you must be wearing your seat belt.
Anyways, being that the trucks belong to JBS, they can legally record the drivers...
Now, just imagine... You've parked, and getting ready for bed. Maybe putting on your night clothes (if you wear them), and suddenly someone backs into you. You look up and see the camera has been activated and you're being recorded....
I've talked to people that install these things, and have been told, that they can "watch" you any time they want to. They can also record you anytime they want to, from a separate location. Though, JBS says they wouldn't do that.
JBS Carriers dash cams, that face the driver.
