cameras & listen devices

i think theres going to be a lot more driver shortages do to listening devices and spy cams being placed in these trucks , seems to me they are kind of like the government they want know all your personal business and every thing else they can think of !!!! think about it next time your dispatcher says something to you that he really shouldn't know , he's just letting you know i'am listen and watching. its sad it's come to this..................

In the evening, though, I like to dim the lights, put on some mood music, remove my tinfoil underwear and...

 

There has to be at least one or more companies using it in California, but it might be a misdemeanor.
