    Any company with driver facing cameras should AUTOMATICALLY be considered a bad company run by classless people who are obsessed with getting their drivers into trouble.

    Had a recruiter call me and he’s telling me our cameras are state of the art they can tell if you roll a stop, if you follow too close, if your seatbelt is on.

    And I cut him off and say thanks for your time sir you can remove me from your list, and he’s like but,well they can exonerate a driver as well.

    No, I tell him they are there to not only berate the driver, but to find a way to blame the driver
    should there be an accident.

    That's not why most people got into trucking to have computer nannies watching your every move.

    I would not want anyone to see my sleepy head dripping saliva on the steering wheel while I'm kind of driving.. bad company, which is trying to interrupt my pee procedure while drifting down steering with the knee))

    I wouldn't say EVERY company with driver facing cams are bad.

    However, I think most of them are.....

    Once had one of my "trainers" eat lunch out of a Tupperware, using a fork, while driving down the hwy... I am sitting there thinking "this is it... gonna die because this fool is a glutton"... wish a camera had captured the moment.

    I want the next driver to discover my booger vault, not the company camera.

    Good for you, Driver. Only slaves submit to such treatment. Just like face diapers.

    Been doing that for thirty some years. Now I do wait until out of big cities. Never a problem yet.

    If you are that scarred, what are you doing in trucking? Man has to eat!)

    Next time help him out and feed him from that fork yourself, so he would not be "distracted".)
