Camera? Not on my watch

Do you ever reach for the AC or radio controls while driving? Or how about reaching for a drink?
Well a lawyer could twist that as "distracted driving" thanks to that camera.
What about yawning, rubbing your eyes etc... a lawyer could twist that driving while sleepy thanks to that camera.

Anything and everything can and will be used against you.

I'm not concerned and I'm not going to debate it with anyone. As has been stated, we all have bs we will tolerate and bs we won't.

If they put a camera in my truck all they'll see is me cleaning my stuff out, followed by me flipping off the lens.

Too many drivers are willing to bend over and spread em, but not me.

I know a guy that works for a company that put cameras in the cab in his truck. They told them it only records when a critical event such as hard braking occurs.

But then he got called into safety office and he got written up for holding his coffee cup too long. Another driver there got written up for unsnapping his seat belt as he was pulling into fuel island.

It's all BS, time for ev1 to stand up for themselves and stop being walked on like a doormat.

They are working on the robot part (i.e. self driving trucks) just look at what McDonald's is planning with automation recently due to difficulties retaining employees due to quote "unfair wages"...

you can look at the responses and decide who will be under the table at a company safety meeting. forward facing cameras i'm fine with. I actually intend to buy one. driver facing cameras are designed for one thing. to hang the driver. my brother was written up for cell phone use for calling 911 and reporting a serious crash with entrapment. the letter stuck despite my brother showing a 911 call on his phone history. you little dweebs that rely so heavily on technology to rule every part of your life need to simply become cashiers at wal mart where every second of your life is monitored. I also get a kick out of some of you criticizing older drivers. really? 3 million accident free miles her and 18 months from retirement. I guess i'm supposed to be ashamed of my record as I watch many of you clowns drive into bridges, park in the ditch, or play with the jake brake in the truck stop parking lot to impress other drivers with your international. I usually drive a governed truck. I accept that. I use e logs. I accept that. I have seen many changes in the last 35 years that I accept and am grateful for. my first truck was a cab over freightliner with no front brakes and no air conditioning from the factory. i'm glad things have changed and I embrace a safer work environment. funny how many of you little clowns look down your noses at those who have done what you will never be able to do...... like think for yourselves. we live in an industry ruled by lawyers and insurance companies more and more. I understand that, however, there has to be a line somewhere. for me, some college educated clown who can't do my job watching me scratch my nuts is a bit over the top. if you don't trust me, don't hire me. if my record isn't good enough, don't hire me. by the way. I see a lot of you younger drivers doing a helluva good job. proud to see you out there.
