It’s only outward facing there isn’t any facing cameras. Currently a driver.

My dad just left there 6 months ago and that was not a thing nor had it ever been brought up. I drove for them for 7 years and also never had inward cams. I left 3 years ago

[-]

I has been brought up. As of right now every driver had to sign a consent form for data collection including driver facing cameras. Afaik it hasn't been implemented but if you work there currently technically you did agree that they can do it.

[-]

trucker50@reddit

So glad I left when I did then lol

MrStrype@reddit

Not necessarily, even with parts facing cameras, they can see the reflection off the windshield, I've seen it for myself. I took a small box, cut it to fit around the camera on the inside of the windshield, and taped it around the camera so they could still see outside but not see a reflection.

[-]

CrackTheCoke@reddit

The cameras at Werner are flush with the windshield. No way they saw anything from a reflection.

[-]

OneMetalMan@reddit

Had a coworker get pulled over for this. Apparently the cop saw the reflection in the window while it was dark.

[-]

CrackTheCoke@reddit

The cop was lying to get an admission.

This. I work in dispatch and the number of drivers that the outward facing cameras catch the reflection of a cell phone on their lap is surprising.

Is he a brand new driver? Some companies only have driver facing cameras during your first XX months of being a new driver. Like a probationary thing. Once they know you’re safe, no more driver facing cameras.

My company always has them on us. I give em a show by singing and picking my nose. Sometimes at the same time.

Under the right lighting conditions you can see reflections on the windshield of what’s behind the camera. See driver doing something or phone usage

Thats odd cuz i drove for them for a few months in 2021 and they had no cameras, and our trainers even told us they didn't plan on putting any in at the time unless i was lied top which i suppose is likely for a mega carrier lol

They have every legal right to place a camera in front of you and watch. You’re in possession of their equipment, expensive equipment at that and it looks like your buddy got caught at the wrong/right time. No sympathy tbh.

A lot of people on here are very against cameras, but that camera may save your career - especially if you’re doing everything the way you’re supposed to be.

[-]

HuskerBruce@reddit

Hahahahaha fuck off. Those cameras are there to nail the driver. Have fun with your dystopian society, company man.

[-]

superuser4me@reddit

How are they a “nail to the driver”?

A company makes an investment buying those trucks, pays the insurance to run it and has an obligation to ensure it’s safe use to the public and its customers.

All that camera does is hold you responsible for your actions, should they be good or bad.

I’ve personally known drivers who, if it were left to “he said she said” would have lost their careers. But because of that camera, could defend their actions and have video evidence of doing their due diligence at the time of an accident.

Don’t like the camera? Buy your own truck.

[-]

americandoom@reddit

Called my office last week after it started to snowing to tell them I couldn’t get to a delivery due to road conditions. Super said the roads aren’t even bad. Oh wait I just clicked on your camera I guess they are bad.

Companies say they don’t spy but they 100% do since it literally takes them half a second to click on your camera and see what’s up

HeywoodJaBlowMe123@reddit

I personally wouldn’t have my wife give me head while i’m driving if there’s a camera right there. And if there wasn’t a camera there, it better be on some open stretch of highway with little to no cars going by. Seems way too dangerous considering it’s 80,000 pounds. I’d hate to wreck and the only person not wearing a seatbelt is the one i love the most.. all for some head..

Also, safety.. or anyone in that office watching the cameras don’t get that luxury of a show. Fuck them.

Foreal. On a long drive in my pickup, wife leaned over started giving me head. We'll some miles down the road. Here i am. Scooting the driver seat back, her climbing over, slipping her panties to the side, all while doing highway speed down the highway. When she gave head in the semi it was so much easier from all the extra room. Only thing bad is how visible it is with the trucks big ass windshield. And door windows. So only head it was.

Confident-Ear-9388@reddit

Personally I think any extreme activities attempted while, you need to pull over: Applying make up, Reading anything in depth that's not a road sign, texting, eating extremely messy food, sexual acts, and probably a few others

I don't work for that company. But if I owned one, I would do the exact same thing. If the manager calmed down, maybe they would say a last and final warning.

I mean he could have waited for the thirty minute break at the very least.

I don't agree with cameras watching every move. I was fired from fedex for stupid events. I drove double trailers, so I didn't keep my seat belt on in the yard. It didn't make any sense because I literally had to get out thirty times by unhooking two trailers and my dolly, and rehooking to a new set.

[-]

Radiant_Pick6870@reddit

Yeah.. Where I'm at..my trainer was like Fuck that seat belt when we are in the yard.. Or at a pickup or a drop.. Lol I think our cameras only activate when you hit something.. Or like swerve.. Etc.. And I can see on the remote when the camera has been activated. We can also hit the panic button if we see something that is about to happen.

WarGear06@reddit

From what I remember they put forward facing dash cams in the trucks that are always on, but it has cab facing capabilities that only activate when there's something like a hard stop, or the truck detects an impact and it supposedly only records the previous two minutes of drive time in the cab. Also the cam is only supposed to be for rookies or if you've had an accident. But things may have changed, that was 6 years ago

When I started driving for Midwest Coca Cola in 2003, a group of drivers saw the truck I was driving and starting grinning and chuckling amongst themselves. I asked what was so funny, and they said that the former coworker who drove the truck before me had gotten caught spankin it while driving... 😳 That has SERIOUSLY gotta be the stupidest way to get fired! And we had manuals with hi/lo splitters, so that must've been pretty tricky to pull off! 😆

J-Rag-@reddit

For starters, give that driver a high five for getting some road head.

But someone isn't necessarily watching the camera 24/7. I guess someone could if they wanted but probably aren't. More than anything I'd bet that the camera was detecting someone in the cab not wearing a seat belt and flagged it. Then when it came across someone's desk, they went and found what was being flagged and watched it. While watching it, the dude behind the desk probably dropped his pants and rubbed one out. Then called the driver to fire him.

[-]

eitsew@reddit

Yea this is probably it. My girlfriend was standing up giving me a back rub while I drove once for Melton, I braked hard or something to set the camera off, got an email shortly after about all passengers not wearing seat belts. Makes a lot more sense than a giant team of people spending their days monitoring all the driver's cams in real time

I’m not a driver but I’ve worked in the office in both recruiting and safety, and I now work for a Samsara reseller.

Can they look at your cameras all day long? Sure. But I’m 100% sure they don’t. First and foremost, most every driver-facing dash cam now has AI. The AI is watching, but it only alerts safety and records the video if it detects a driver dozing off or texting or not wearing their seatbelt or (true story) getting into the closet and giving their dog more food.

Because of that, it would be a colossal waste of money to have an employee just staring at 8 hours of boring driver footage just to maybe catch something that the AI isn’t going to detect. I’m sure that if this story your friend gave you is true, Samsara or Motive’s AI just detected it and sent an alert to safety to check out a potentially unsafe situation.

How would he know that commotion and loose passengers moving around in front of the cameras wouldn't activate a recording? Get your road head before and after the trip boys!

[-]

yourlmagination@reddit

Even if this story was true, nobody is actually actively watching cameras. A good subset of the driver-facing cams are driven by AI these days and automatically picks up on "unsafe" behavior, such as smoking, eating, drinking, looking away from the road (at a phone or out the driver's window for too long), sleeping, or getting road head.

[-]

JOliverScott@reddit

Companies make reassuring claims to get drivers to go along with the intrusion of cameras and then once they're installed it's a simple flick of a switch in the software to go from "triggered event recording" to "live real-time viewing". And of course they're not going to announce if or when they make that change. If there's a camera installed assume you're always being watched, no matter what you're being told in order to get you to go along with it at the outset.

[-]

DapperJackal96@reddit

I don't work for Werner but I do work for a company that has cab facing cameras. These cameras cannot be turned off while the vehicle is in motion or the engine is running. Also there is an incident button right next to the off button and they are identical, so easy to mix up. Not saying he has the exact same model and brand camera but it's possible they operate the same way.

STR2@reddit

I was a driver and a safety trainer at a major LTL carrier that used Samsara. We legitimately couldn't view a live feed of the inward facing camera. Trust me, I dug deep. We could view a live feed of the outward facing camera though, technically for the purpose of adjusting the angle of the camera.

With all this new AI bullshit though, who knows what triggers an event which would then send a 20s clip of the inside of the tractor. We started phasing that in towards the end of my time there and I'd have to manually clear so much BS - seat belt violations where they were wearing their seatbelts, cell phone usage when there was none, etc.

[-]

We don’t have driver facing cameras, unless it was a camera at a stop light or something they wouldn’t really know. Unless he actually done something dangerous to cause the outward cameras to report it then they wouldn’t know about it.
