    So my work has dash cams that kick in when said hard brake or following distance happen. Anyone have experience with this? They send me them to review and I'm sure they watch them seeing me talking to myself..

    Don't worry about it. Just as long as you are not answering yourself they are fine.

    I talk to it. "Just a hook-up, camera" "Did you see that, camera?" "Welcome to Louiiiiisiana, camera. Aren't the roads here just wonderful?" and so on.

    .All truck drivers talk to themselves. Every last one. ...this is another one like the P bottle debate. Every over the road truck driver has to take a piss in their truck. And they use a P bottle because if they didn’t, they couldn’t do their jobs. It’s an “everyone does it, nobody owns it” scenario. Lol

    I remember when I went to truck driving school. The instructor had a lesson on, “getting to know yourself” Because he assured all the students in the class as you went out over the road you were definitely going to get to know yourself like it or not. And he said “you will talk to yourself”.

    there are worse things you can be caught doing on camera besides talking to yourself.

    just saying for a friend..

    As long as it’s not a 2 way conversation in the mirror, it’s normal. Or so I’ve been told. Shut up! No, you shut up!!!

    that's what I did!! "did you see what that dumba** made me do"? lol. all day long.

    the one they liked the most, was when the camera was activated when I was bob-tailing and slide around a corner, in the snow. I broke out in a big "YEEHAAAAA, LET'S DO THAT AGAIN" !! just for the guy reviewing the "incident.

    they sent it to corp.

    corp sent to terminal.

    was played at next safety meeting. lol my number blocked to protect the smart ##*.

    nothing was done, they all laughed and commented on the "steering wheel nut". me.
