Do you actually believe that someone sits there 24 hours a day 365 days a year, and watches every driver facing camera installed in a truck, while it's rolling down the highway?
Camera? Not on my watch

Maybe not live, but recorded and cataloged somewhere. Now I imagine the bandwidth for constant surveillance would be a little much for a company to bear, more for safety events monitored by sensors, which they are now (sans the reality show footage).
SheepDog Thanks this. -
If you're a safe driver it would be useful to have that camera in my opinion. That way if some ####### hits your truck they will be at fault.

if I have my own forward facing camera it can only be used to protect me since if I get into a crash I can walk away from I can delete the footage before the cops get there and claim it was malfunctioning. With the company cameras I fear that the company would throw the driver under the bus every time in an accident. I'm afraid of what you just said. There is no benefit, nothing about them helps or protects me but can greatly hurt me. Plus you have the fact that I enjoy this industry for the freedom and autonomy it offers. But more and more I see this freedom being taken away, and the longer I stay with these mega carriers the more I feel like I'm stuck in a prison on wheels.
Maby the driving convicts and foreigners think this is acceptable, but I sure don't.JV_620, SheepDog, tucker and 1 other person Thank this. -
That truck is my home away from home. It's a privacy, and a trust issue. The company hired me to do a job based on my credentials of many years of safe driving experience. A driver facing camera just says that they don't trust me to do my job correctly. If that's the case then I will not work for them. I have passed over companies that have driver facing cameras, and I will continue to do so. Evidently the majority of drivers on this site feel the same way.JV_620, SheepDog, Hittman 306 and 3 others Thank this. -
