    To me it just seems a little counter productive. .. ya ur getting cameras in trucks to help "coach" drivers into being safe drivers. But ur also losing alot of your experienced veteran proven safe drivers. I can tell you 100 cameras dont make up for a guy with 15 years of real life driving and no major incidents.

    I said it earlier when you got 45,000 + pounds of beer pushing you down a hill to get up another hill I'm not braking especially driving through West Virginia on I64 with all those mountains, I was spinning around to back into a spot and just by doing that camera was activated that's how sensitive they are set.

    http://www.roscovision.com/Our-Products.aspx?Id=Products if you drive for a company like I do where these bad boys are mounted in each & every cab take the time to read the "owners manual" so that when the error codes start popping up you know what they mean. & know that they are always on & only reset after 5 days or so.

    You are 100 % correct I find it a invasion of privacy to have a camera and also a recorder with this camera in my husbands truck.. I want to know how many people who work for these companys would agree to have a recorder and camera installed in their homes cause when my husband is on the road all week that is his home !!! not sure but pretty sure there is a cival rights violation here somewhere !!

    Even though I have a problem with the camera facing inward, I can understand why companies are putting them in their trucks, there's a video of a driver who killed a cop and when they reviewed the dash cam from his truck he had been looking @ pictures of women on Facebook

    I saw that , its on this message board somewhere.That is the type of thing we all want to avoid.My guess is that that driver did not have a camera in his cab for very long or he would have been viewed doing that sort of thing before.He would then either have had to change or be let go.

    Well heck then ... using that logic I can understand why outlawing spoons would be a good idea ... because they make people fat.
