    Lol... I run regular routes.

    I know where the bumps are that set the camera off. I sit my snacks down for them.

    Last night I was starving, and had to go from south Dallas to OKC.

    from loop 12 to Denton is tore up with construction. Camera goes off constantly.

    I just kept eating....

    My give a s.hit.... has given out.

    If it's not one thing, it's half a dozen other. I'm sick of it. Swift has a way of grind you down.

    Overall the company has been good to me... But I got into this gig to be left the heck alone. I could more than triple my income going back to the office world with the constant 'meetings' and 'questions'.

    Once my one year commitment is done, I've got an offer from another company. I figure I will give it a shot.

    I still hope to hit the two years mark and give car hauling a try.

    Agree... this is crap, only initiates when a critical event is reported, then it is sent to a third party to review, then if an incident occurs, then it is sent to safety. I dont believe this.

    unfortunately people need to work, companies like this know people will submit and go along regardless.

    money has a way with people

    if one doesn't agree with Google's terms one doesn't get to use it

    the list goes on.

    I like the part where it's illegal to drink water or eat while driving.

    I know this driver and I know he is telling me this is for real, I won't mention names or Company's division just to avoid any retaliation, which occurs even if they deny it, I had another driver telling me that he was also called into the DM because he didn't make a full stop in a stop sign inside of the Yard, maybe you are just trying to find out identities, oh, well do your homework any other way, I won't offer.
    Now these interviews only involves a quick review of the recorded event and some 'pay attention and be more careful' talk, no points taken for the internal safety record that I Am aware off.
    I do have also a camera on my tractor for about a year now, but somehow I have never been called upon any of my bad driving habits that we all have, so take your pick, if you believe that this happening or not it doesn't really matter if you have nothing to hide, then , everything is just fine.
