I Miss My Logbook

You do realize this is complete and total bs, don't you? And if that is such blatant bs, I wonder how much else in the rant is bs too.

 

I missed the log book too. Nothing stopped door rattles quite like a log book. IDK, I had one job, my union job, that had computers. For a cut and dry route job, I actually liked it, for an outlaw, it was the kiss of death. I certainly would draw the line at a facing in camera, although, may have had one and never knew it. Just the way trucking is today, different job, fer sure,,

 

Personally, I am not surprised at safety's misinformation; most of the wrong information I've seen here or heard in person has been attributed to safety. However, to be fair, sometimes it is a driver's misinterpretation of what was said.

Even in this "enlightened" age, I think many companies pay lip service to safety. They often promote some of the least competent people into the position. In the oil patch we used to joke you could always tell the safety guy... he was the one missing fingers.

 

Didn't mean to imply the bs was from you. But it is a load of bs
Oh there might be an internal company driver score that is affected when going over speed. But there is no tie in to CSA to automatically create a violation.

 

Wow these companies just make stuff up to tell their drivers nowadays or what? Lol.

 

Yeah, sounds like a bit of misinformation is being spread.
I've got a similar camera. The Netradyne Driveri.
One front and a side camera each. The inside facing camera has a cap in it. There is also a microphone which the company claims is inactive, but you never know.
It also has gps, an accelerometer, and an nvidia processor to
calulate and track data while streaming it to the data center via a 5g cellular data connection.

The camera can detect signs and signals, lane departures,
Speed, distance, sudden stops, and impacts.
Any violation or deviation is noted by the built in computer for
review by a person at the data center to determine whether the violation is legitimate before sending the video and data stream to the safety contact at the company.

The data can also be compiled into a safety score for the driver which the subscribing company can use how it sees fit.
Apparently, the company get a fairy decent insurance rate reduction for using these cameras.

On to the good stuff.

The company that makes these cameras and the data processing software was involved with creating the artifical intelligence used in Hundai's self driving car project.

They claim that the AI was created using a "deep learning"
algorithm generated from the data collected from similar types of cameras that they had used in cars.

 

Microphone inactive, they say? Only one way to find out,,,

 

Companies can make their own redicolous rules. I was on the radio to a driver that said company does not allow personal use for after hours safe parking. Did not get the name.
F that. I turned down at least 5 jobs before I found one with paper or elog trucks.
