New Camera System Coming to all company trucks.

if you have nothing to hide you must enjoy the government taking away all your rights right? "To keep you safe"

 

I hear ya brother. Thats my plan too, except your way ahead of me, I'm now working on getting that truck to avoid the BS

 

I have NO problem with drive cams, I think they're great for saving your butt legally.
Driver facing Cameras are ridiculous and an invasion of privacy.
If an accident is preventable or not. If an accident is your fault or not totally and clearly can be proven simply by a OUTWARD facing camera.

I'd like to put a Camera into the bedroom of the CEO for Swift... not to spy on him or invade his privacy but oh yeah JUST in case somebody breaks into his home.


but hey you're right this is great news!
"Driver shortage" already... so some driver facing cameras will certainly add to that

 

I always roll with an outward facing dash cam. Best believe if I roll into a pickle, that thing will have conveniently been not working at the time of the incident.

 

That's the mentality that kills me, you know why? Three years and over 300k+ miles and not a scratch, accident, or violation. Pardon the play on words, but to me, accident free is no accident. Does that explain why I don't understand the babysitting part? They teach all you guys at school that, rookies will make mistakes and so it's acceptable somehow. My response to this was there should never be an excuse if you are seriously paying attention to your surroundings. It's a full on effort.
People who need babysitting shouldn't be in trucks. It's because of these people that I get another quarterly meeting with my DM about safety crap that I don't care to hear about. Seriously, do I need to screw up in order to improve on my safety?

 

Be careful with your conversations on your cell phone; onboard cameras & monitoring are looking and listening.

 

whatever way you want to look at it man.. it's freaking Swift!

go find me a bunch of companies that require 2+ years experience that have these cameras in their trucks!
yeah I'll wait...

it's mainly just the companies that want cheap noobie drivers that are throwing cameras in their trucks.
Is that a coincidence? I think not!
