Are alot of companies using the Netradyne nanny cams while you're driving now?

I'm seriously thinking about getting my CDL and hitting the road. I'm autistic and kind of introverted so being around people all the time doing grocery store work takes a lot out of me day in and day out. I can do it and put on a good front but it's exhausting so I figured truck driving could be good. Plus I drive a lot anyway and have hauled things cross country multiple times. I started driving for Amazon and it was a little better because I wasn't around the same faces all the time and every day was different. The one thing that sucked was the Netradyne cameras and being watched constantly. I'm a very hard worker, can be trusted when I'm alone to do my tasks and very good precise common sense driver but I was a little paranoid about the Netradyne camera and the fear of getting fired for the smallest of infractions. It would pick up everything and the whole appeal or idea of truck driving is to have some breathing room and space for myself. Just curious

My company (the mega-ist of the megas) use them but the inward is physically capped. I’m one of the safest drivers in the fleet (by algorithm score) so that may be a privilege but so far no issues aside from the camera telling me to slow down when i’m already well under the limit

They’ll get you your CDL, give you a hotel room while they do it, no inward facing cameras, and they pay percentage of load. I’m literally doing a $7/m load right now. If I was paid cpm it would be awful.

i won't lie to you and say there's no inward facing spy cameras, or even that they're rare, but they're certainly less common and less intrusive in CDL driving than they are at amazon.
it's certainly not impossible to find companies that don't have them, i'm at one. most of my buddies at other companies that have them say they're significantly toned down compared to amazon, or don't even talk, they just watch.
i refuse to drive any truck that has them, but they're generally less terrible in trucking.
