    You will notice that the vast majority of people that call others supertrucker do so because they

    -cannot drive (NonDrivers)
    -cannot compete (NonDrivers)
    -cannot face reality, grow a spine, muster up courage, or do anything daring or difficult or dirty (Sidewalk Sissy)
    -cannot think, plan, problem solve or do anything other than hold a steering wheel (Braindead) C249AEC4-516C-49F5-B455-F08689513FD8.jpeg

    I’m starting not to like mine because I’ve used it to record others driving stupid and my company won’t do anything with the footage. (Talking to you Werner hazmat who passed me on the right hand should a few hundred feet before a construction zone)

    Qualcomm should be set so you cannot read it driving down the road, So if you kill somone while looking at you Qualcomm then your guilty, and if the camera caught it, then great it did its job, you did not.

    I wouldn't mind driver facing cameras in a daycab.

    What people are missing here is that it's an issue with OTR drivers. Because we are in that truck almost 24/7. Yes, I realize the back of the cab, which is probably about the size of a solitary confinement cell used to house prisoners, is technically "our space".........Come on guys. The truck is small as hell. Our space is smaller than an American sized prison cell.

    Again, yes many workplaces have cameras, BUT THEIR EMPLOYEES GO HOME!!!!!!!

    Ok, fine, let me use another example: stay at home employees.

    Would stay at home employees be cool with their employer putting cameras ALL OVER THE HOUSE except for the master bedroom closet, AKA the size of truck drivers "personal space"?

    Give me a break.

    I figured out the easy answer to that my first day: I put a sock over the camera when I’m parked.
