Spy cams in trucks

[Trucking Cody]

I didn't read all 5 pages, so I apologize if this has already been mentioned. although these camera record 24/7, they only save the recording if a critical event occurs. Yes they record on the 10 hours break, but they dont save it unless the truck gets hit. while driving, they dont save unless you have a hard brake, your abs or traction control enables, you over speed or a few other scenarios. They don't save your whole driving day. Even if they did save your full day, the trucking company doesn't have the man power to look at all that footage. (not to mention the data cost to send back 24 hours of video would be astronomical.) So no, they arn't sitting in front of a computer back at corporate watching a live feed of your truck. Dont slam on your brakes, or do anything else to set it off and no one will ever see you. That being said, while driving you should prob be a professional and not do anything you wouldn't want the boss seeing.

When will enough be enough. Perhaps since it's their equipment we should be OK with driving hooked to an EKG so if our heart rate increases they can contact us and tell us to park till we calm down. Drivers need to grow a set and learn how to say no. That one word, coupled with the backbone to stand by it, could fix most of what's wrong with this business.

There are drivers who say no and companies who say, "You are the weakest link!!
Good bye"

Gotta love the "Boss knows best" crowd. Seen a lot of them over the years. Have also seen the stunned look on their face when the Boss decides to dump them cause his butt is getting chapped.

Children, if you think for one fine minute that a "benign" management will not will have a file on you to be used whenever you finally make a wrong step or get juuuust a little bit too "independent" you are 16 different kinds of fool. News flash kiddies.... nobody drives the "perfect trip" all the time. "Well now Mr Driver, we have a record of you following just a bit too close on (insert date here) and again on--------- and again on----------. I'm afraid we see a pattern of carelessness here and we're going to have to part ways".

No sir, your company will not have to keep those video files themselves. That service will be provided by the same outfit that supplies the "surveillance" service. Just like the private "security firms" used to supply "spotters" that would follow and watch your drivers back in the "old days". Only now, you're inviting the "watcher" right into the cab with you.

Good luck guys.

Mercy, mercy! I am so sloppy with my morning Latte'. I might accidentally spill some on the camera lens and short out the microphone.....
One never does know, DO ONE?

Fuse keeps blowing. Got tired of replacing it.

Some folks were looking for a gig when they got that one. A super trucker always keeps his boots laced up and prepared for walking. Instead of all the talk about sabotaging equipment. How about you talk about how you can step your game up and graduate from mediocrity.Geeeze Louise

Had a friend who worked for a towing company that used the cameras to make sure they weren't eating, drinking, or smoking in the trucks. She would just take off her hat and hang it on the camera. Got written up and threatened with termination for "tampering with company property"

You should file a patent on that one!

The only problem is somebody would frivolously sue you for a patent that good and then you would have to go drive a truck so you were far enough away from them to not tomahawk them, scalp them and hide their body!

I graduated from mediocrity the day my worthless im-mature team driver jumped out of the truck in his hometown and I ran more miles solo.

Jeez Louise Dinomite! Lighten up up and take a joke!

I'd probably just be tempted to throw a sock over the camera when I went to the bunk.

I don't think I will submit to a sleep study.

 

[Dinomite]

Some folks will@ anything.

If jurisdictions can't get the "external" cameras (light idiot red like revenuers) right, how will companies like Millis Transfer get an accurate picture of your "privates?" Welcome to the Orwellian world of Obama!

A company driver from Atlanta is behind bars in Oklahoma after police say he tried to sell his company’s tractor and trailer.

This is from a thread in the news section. Along with selling the tires off the tractor b4 he made it to Oklahoma.

Not sure if this is still a common practice but guys selling fuel use to be a common occurrence. don't have a cb so not sure how much it goes on now.

I once had to go find a guy who decided instead of delivering his load. He would park at a truck shop near Baton Rouge and get high on crack with a lot lizard.

The continued roar of the penut gallery continues to be hey companies you don't need to protect your investment. We won't pull our teeth out while driving. Or take the curves in a truck stop like its the Last lap at Daytona.

It's all Obama's fault!! Says the guys who refuses to look in the mirror at what's this industry has become.

Stepping off soap box. I got some trailer truckin to do!!

 

[Sinister]

Yes. Government intrusion is not solely Obama's fault.

The FCC trying to control the internet is though.

We dont dislike him because he's black, we dislike him because he's a terrible President.

Two or three more off topic posts and I'm locking this. FYI.

Yep! What he said!!!

It's not just Obama. It's the whole bunch! They are all Commie B****** crooks taking this country for fools and circumventing everything the founding Fathers laid down. Tyranny!

 

[Dinomite]

Lol I wonder where the Obama not looking like you comment came from. Rush Baugh 101 hey you forgot to say how many colored friends you have.

Then here comes another EIB cat. Spewing more of the same nonsense. Why oh why are people so gullible. Me personally I could care less what color the president is or good a job he is doing. Because most folks. (The smart ones) knows it's all a game of smoking mirrors, and it is such a pleasure to shake my head every 4 years at the predicted doom and gloom. From whichever party doesn't win. Obama's been in almost 2 terms. What happened to all the Muslims he was suppose to convert. And the constitution he was going to burn.

Stop being sheeple. Grow a pair and say no to scare tactic foolishness from whatever party and serve the King of kings and Lord of lords.

Now if this post don't get me banned. Back to the drawing board.
