I agree. You can not possibly argue that removing these cameras is going to promote better safety. It certainly will not. I'd love to hear Swift talk publicly about the decision. Prime also.

Cuz I'm sharing the road with everyone just the same and I've seen all of the same things you guys have - truckers texting while driving, falling asleep at the wheel, watching movies on their laptop, taking pictures with their camera, a burger in one hand and a drink in the other, reading the map while it's laying over the steering wheel, etc. I've seen it all a million times. I know for a fact this stuff is going on all the time. Right now, in fact.

And these are the same guys crying for their "privacy". Your privacy? From the boss? He's paying you. You're driving his truck. He's financially responsible if you screw up. You're on public highways surrounded by innocent people. That makes no sense.

It all makes no sense to me at all. This seems on the surface to be one of those business decisions where they are knowingly making the highways more dangerous in the name of recruiting more drivers. If that's not what this is then I'd love to hear an explanation from these companies.

If anyone knows of any articles or news footage where company representatives have spoken publicly about removing these cameras, or for choosing not to use them, please put a link to it here. I'd love to learn more about what's going on.

Outward facing is enough to see if driver is distracted

Let's now see how many distracted driving accidents will occur now. I didn't mind the camera because it is an accountability tool. It got me to stop looking at my cell phone like I used to in the past.

If you needed a camera pointed at you to drop your phone, you should have never been a truck driver in the first place.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the whole purpose of having a driver facing camera was to protect the company from a negligent driver, or to protect a driver from false claims of reckless driving that could ultimately lead to termination of employment or even jail time.

In reality, it was to nail anyone any company wanted to easily get rid of. Besides, yawn on camera, you are screwed.
