CDL/Training question

You can keep the COACHING. Many of us drivers have a sixth sense that you cant measure with a camera, nor can you teach it to someone, its something you learn while driving for years. As far as Smartdrive, just remember when you are parked, that thing is STILL recording you.

Are you really sure you want EVERYTHING you say or do recorded so they can possibly use it to fire you if you listen to the "wrong" radio station or you converse with your wife on the cellphone about intimate matters?

If so, I will leave you with this little quote, from a time long ago:

"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."

'Samuel Adams

 

No one has challenged it as of yet. Its still pretty new, but expect to see this as a NEW standard in the trucking business.

Under US law, trucking comes under the commerce clause, so NO it probably isn't illegal, but it's immoral and just plain wrong to spy on a professional driver while in the cab, driving or not.

If it wasnt, your dear bossman or safety director probably wouldn't mind having one installed in his all of his/her vehicles, now would he/she?

Nothing like watching a driver picking his nose, or cussing out his company on the CB radio is there? How about when the wife/GF calls and tells you how horny for you she is?

You still think a "Big Brother" spy video/audio camera is a good idea now?
