    I personally won't ever work for any company that has driver facing cameras OR makes me take pictures of my pretrip. It only makess me feel like they don't trust me to do my job. Outward facing cameras, yes, I can see that being an insurance incentive in case of an accident. But inward facing, there is no scenerio where anyone needs to see inside my cab. And while they say those camera systems are only active for a crash, think again. Those can be activated at any time someone in the office wants to take a peek. They have proof I am doing my job without adult supervision when I am avoiding crashes or get a clean inspection.

    I know a few COTC drivers and they say that after awhile they don't watch you on the inside camera. It might take a year or so of no incidents but the longer you're there the more slack they give you.

    I make $1600-$1800 net. And the company doesn't care what the shipper/receiver tells you, if they refuse to lift your tarps for you, we're supposed to call in and they'll make them do it. We have a 401k. And my health insurance is free. And our driver coaches really do make you feel cared about. The owner of the company sat down to have lunch with us and we met the whole team. It sounds like you're unhappy with where you are. I get it, 60cpm doesn't sound like a lot. And it's not. But these guys keep you rolling. You make money if they can't get you a new load within 1 hour of unloading. Maybe it's not your permanent home. But it might be a decent place to work for a year or two while you find a better fit.

    Well, I'm sorry to hear that you're having a rough time. I may be new to this company, but that doesn't make me a new driver. So far I like what I see. But time will tell. I wish you the best of luck, man.

    Maybe things have changed since you were in orientation. But now they're telling us that it is against company policy, and we can get written up for it. We are not to throw our tarps over our load or lift them onto the trailer. We can unroll them over the load, but we cannot lift them up.
     
    Numb Thanks this.

    As I said, time will tell. But so far, I'm happy. That's a step up from where I've been.
