    User comments. Cameras can be triggered randomly and remotely, no bumps, braking or even driving required. You can hit the meanest pothole on interstate and it would not trigger it, you can drive in a straight line on a smooth interstate and see the red light blinking. Past midnight check ups are mandatory, driving or not. Video feeds are sent to the 3rd party provider to filter through and they can have all the labor in the world to sort through these to pick a few ones for further "coaching", and we have paid for this humiliation with our own stagnant wages over the past years. They screwed us to screw our basic humanity, sweet. Mighty Orwellian, there is no way to spin it. Currently there are people trapped in the trucking biz because of their age and no skills outside of trucking, but younger people have to be mighty desperate, and/or deficient in dignity and brain activity to become a company (OTR) truck driver. wonder if they will keep on using "freedom of the road" sales pitch at the time Wal-Mart employee get more freedom and respect.

    I've had mine in for about 4 months now, seen that red light go off more than a few times now.... I did warn them don't be surprised if I yell some "colorful" language at the idiots cutting me off. It's gone off for rough railroad crossings, idiots cutting me off and forcing me to brake hard(thankfully not too often) and even once when I blasted at one idiot who was too busy playing on his phone. I think it got a pretty good audio clip of me ranting about what ought to be done with the cell phone morons and cursing out the camera itself. So far no calls... surprising, either they are just concerned if I'm doing something really stupid or people are getting a good laugh out of my monologues. o_O
