    The Qcomm and Navigo are the biggest distractions, I don't even remember the camera is there, unless I'm trying to get it to block the sun just right.

    His cell records, which they did subpoena, would have showed he was off the phone.

    Why not ban billboards? That's a big distraction.

    Just a quick update...one company has been knocked out of contention due to false reporting. This month, we started getting in new trucks with cameras in them so I guess the test is over and cameras are on the way:(

    Knocked out of contention?

    Dont get it.

    Anyway, pardon for not teading the whole thread, but id heard that the recording and reporting from the cameras is all third party. A third party has to be paid. A company trying to save 100 million should probably back burner such an idea as cameras....right?

    Makes sense to me anyway...

    I really hope youte incorrect about the test being over and such.

    They had two different types of camera systems. One of them was already driving safety up a wall with the reporting. They are out of the "test".

    I find it funny a 5/2-5/3 has been up for bid three rotations so far and no one is on it because there is a camera in one of the trucks. Might be a clue how this is going to go over if they go fleetwide.

    Have they looked into possibly installing jammers in the trucks that block phone signals while the truck is moving?

    Assuming such a creation exists, since cell phones seem to be Walmart's primary grievance that would be both a hell of a lot less trouble, AND eliminate the unintended consequences like the guy that got canned for sending a text while he was stopped.

    I think they would be happy if folks could just quit hitting yellow poles.

    Cell phone jammers would get them in trouble with the FCC.
