    That's okay, as long as I don't have to deal with them.
    A company gets the kind of drivers it deserves.

    If the companies are so worried about protecting themselves, why aren't they installing rear-facing cameras on both sides of the truck? I would think there is a lot of money in claims from vehicles drifting out of their lane into the side of a truck with no way to prove who was or wasn't in their lane.

    I meant that the problem drivers usually get shown the door before it even gets to that point. I agree with you though. I run OTR in a daycab. I wouldn't be too happy about the camera but I wouldn't hand in my keys over it. If I was still in a sleeper? Yea that would probably do it for me. No different than having a camera in my hotel room.

    Public areas and invasion of private space is two different comparisons.

    Mayby like a sharp stick in your eye? I have heard say " after awhile you don't even know its there"? Sure is a sad state of affairs, that we now are even having this discussion about driver facing cameras.

    Go to your boss, stick camera right in front of the his face.
    On question , WtF?
    Reply : don't worry I won't record you till I will feel like I need to.
    ????
    See how long it will last...So why in hell it's not OK to put camera right next to his face , but OK to record me when something , or someone need it.
    Double standarts everywhere
