    They actually have an app for your computer that sets off an alarm when you're not sitting up straight. Uses your computer's camera.
    Just waiting for them to start something like this with driver facing cameras.

    IT is a broad statement and different people will read it differently.
    And now we are in the entitlement age.
    EG Not my fault.

    And the best part of trucking for me was getting dispatched for weeks of work before time and just disapear into space. As long as the customer didn't ask where there load was you were good to go. You could be trusted to get the job done, not micromanaged like todays drivers.

    I’m unsure what exactly you needed to be more concise?

    Experience does not directly factor into whether a driver is careless or not, so no, that point of his argument he presented was not valid. And am unsure how you can say otherwise. Careless drivers are careless drivers.

    Don’t understand what you mean by entitlement either. That itself, is a generic (broad) statement.

    There is a blue tooth headset that notifies dispatch or some other higher power if your head dipping when driving. This is what my safety manager told me anyway.

    I'm thinking a bio med harness. Alarm goes off when you're not facing forward, monitors BP, breathing, sleeping. All the mega's will have it soon as a requirement for their CSA scores being 10,000.

    Have you noticed the influx of back up alarms?
    That's in response to a companies CSA scores going up and up.
