Driver facing cameras are a deal breaker. If enough people refuse to work for these companies the driver facing cameras will go away .

The 1st part. Stop all you need, take care of yourself. If your company gets upset with you not having a bladder made of steel. Tell them to stick it. Your health (mental & physical) is more important than any load could ever be.
On this job offer tho, you did the right thing turning it down. I would have too. That’s just to much, even for a newbie.
You can always run your own dash cam. I did as a company driver long before i bought my truck. I still run one today.
Imo, the Garmin dezl dash cam gps is the way to go. The gps routing leaves a little bit to be desired, but the dash cam quaility is on point. Even the night time video looks great on the computer screen. That’s what i’ve ran for a number of years now.
I will never drive a truck with driver facing cameras. Even if i took a job not knowing, the 1st time i saw it i’d punch out & head home. That jobs not for me. A camera out the windshield will save you more than it will hurt you, a driver facing camera is only there to hurt you. It will never save you. Yeah ok it shows your hands on the wheel not the phone, but you yawned 5 times in the 20minutes leading up to the accident. Your eyes were looking at your mirror, you couldn’t have seen the car swerve lanes. On and on, just there to screw the driver.DSK333 and truckdriverslave82 Thank this. -
The mandate will have key words like Safety and Coaching.
Sad thing is, the vast majority of professional drivers do it right and legal all day long, it is the few bad apples who will bring all these brand new regulations and mandates down on all of us.JReding Thanks this. -
Attorney: "You mean you could have spent money making the truck safer and you chose not to? Ladies and gentlemen this trucking company doesn't think a texting mom of 5 from 7 fathers is worth $29,000 per truck."
Juror: I hate being stuck behind trucks, so they probably ought to pay millions.truckdriverslave82 Thanks this. -
A road test should include a few hundred miles of this crap. That would sort out who drives and who super sizes lunch orders for a living

I had a great teacher that told me that if we let the government control our every move we are to blame for being controlled like sheep and led to slaughter. The insurance companies have to protect the bottom line, you would do the same, but if it keeps up they will have a chip inserted in everyone to make sure they toe the line. To many need to be told how, what, when which is what they want.

An outward facing camera can protect you, but you need to have your own camera and you need to have absolute control over the video. It doesn't do you any good if you have to go through the company's lawyers just to see what evidence there is, let alone decide if you even want it introduced.foggy, olddog_newtricks and truckdriverslave82 Thank this. -
I would go back to pole dancing before I would tolerate a driver facing camera.
