Companies currently using driver cameras...

I hear ya loud n clear, take the camera out of the mix, or at least rework the way the implement them (which is wrong at best) and I would of signed on without thinking twice. Oh well, from what I'm seeing and hearing I saved myself a lot of potential headache.

 

2 years ago I accidentally hacked a Melton camera while looking for an unbroadcasted WiFi signal. It was way to easy. I took my laptop and showed the driver. Then I handed him some tape.

 

Driver facing cameras are drivers fault, plain and simple...

 

Add John Christner Trucking (JCT) to the list. Adding forward/driver facing cameras to all trucks.

 

I'm still very disappointed by this. Makes me sad. I never thought I would see them do something so stupid.

Guess I'll stay at my company until I'm done driving permanently or buy my own truck.

 

I thought May had DFC? I was interested in them at one time because they have a terminal in Pensacola but that was a dealbreaker.

 

I've posted this elsewhere. A manager at a company that no longer uses cameras took them out because they made the managers uncomfortable and distracted drivers. He told me he could click on any driver at any time and watch. That same company, the HR person doing orientation told a story about how they can't see it even if they want to.

All the stories about not being able to see you live are lies.

That said, as a new guy I've been riding with a few trainers here and there, all of them do way more reaching around and phoning than I'm comfortable with. I think the real answer is to turn everyone in that we see doing it until it stops. Otherwise the alpha hotels who are careless about other people's lives are going to ruin it for everyone, they're providing evidence that the cameras are needed.

 

Not sure if they’ve been mentioned here yet or not.
