    Swift has a terminal in Ocala -- but that is as far south as their terminals go.

    Not sure what the problem is with inward facing cameras? I've been driving trucks for the last 6 years with the cameras installed, they are there to protect you not to spy on you. And in the future possibly all the major companies will have them. So to miss out on a job just because of camera and staying unemployed I know the choice I would be making. But it is after all your choice in the end just hope you find a good job soon mate. :cool:

    Well, obviously you don't care about your privacy bro, but thanks. I'll take a job that have in-ward cameras or drive team only if I have too.

    I've never heard of a driver getting fired for picking his nose, or even flicking the booger out the window. Personally, if I'm ever in a crash I'll be glad to have video evidence I wasn't looking at my phone or dozing off or whatever else a dirtbag personal injury lawyer might want to accuse me of.

    True, but I just don't want a camera on me and someone watching me 24/7, that's an invasion of privacy, we all basically live in the truck, what if I'm walking around naked in there? I like to walk around shirtless at home, I guess everybody is different.

    Our cameras don't operate when the vehicle is stationary. And it continually tapes over, and only saves the video and transmits in the event of a critical event like hard braking or a collision. So unless you plan to walk around naked while driving, I don't think this is a legitimate concern.
