    You've probably figured this out, but most Americans are idiots.

    I can see a cam watching me as I drive. Probably mid dash pointed at drivers seat. That way its only seeing what I am doing when at work. As well as what I am doing if an oh clusfertuck moment. Definately all trucks should have a forward facing cam out the front end showing traffic/speed/if braking/and so on.

    Just me

    You are not alone in this. I do the same. Back in years when I was driving team my partner was scared when I was talking to the street light.

    Yep. Just let these companies keep dumbing down every single thing for the lowest common denominator. That way driver pay can stay low, drivers can be even more micromanaged and lorded over.

    You want a camera in your face, make it YOUR camera. Keep the control in your court. Stop giving up your freedoms under the guise of "well it doesnt affect me"...because at some point it will and it'll be too late to stop it. Hell it already is.

    No tourist trucker pix of Illinois or Ohio.

    There's just nothing of interest in either.

    Yeah.. I think this is the one.. but here in Brasil it's translated to Portuguese....
    Sometimes I can't stand watching it.. :biggrin_25512: for those foreigners are such an opportunists and liars and cheaters... and the Americans are either stupid or have such a low self esteem that will put up with anything just to keep their "partners"... :biggrin_1square1:

    So, I have initiated the conversation to transfer to a different division, so I don't have to deal with this ridiculously small sleeper. It's going to cost me some CPM, but frankly my dear, I don't give a ####. My wife wants to be able to come along once in a while, and that's just not possible with this so called sleeper.
