    I just told the Prime recruiter that I'm not going to be signing up with theme and the reason is due to the inward facing camera announcement. For OTR drivers, having video/audio being recorded inside the cab is an invasion of privacy.

    Samsara currently runs AI cameras and I almost lost my job last week yelling at my safety manager over it. It went off because I was "looking at my dash too long" but I was keeping an eye on my air due to a leak. Sure enough, I get the phone call. I fuckin lost it. I understand for insurance purposes, but these paycheck justifying bobber heads that never once stepped foot in a truck are using it to nitpick every single aspect of your driving and micromanage. It literally ruins the most important element of solo driving and that is being left the fuck alone!

    Prime is self insured and that's dangerous in itself. I worked for Navajo Express in 2018 and they are self insured. We didnt have cameras in lease trucks. They did say that if a company driver wrecks a trailer that everyone in the fleet to include lp and o/o would have to run harder and have money taken out of our checks to pay for that trailer. We left because of this because i shouldn't have to pay for something else that someone else damaged. Stay away from Prime and other companies like this.

    I started with Prime in 2016 and left last month over these cameras. I went to Crete for .64 cpm. They have cameras here too but only put them in the trucks of problem drivers. If the driver doesn't have any issues for 90 days then they'll remove it plus they lose all bonuses and their yearly raise.

Trucks have always had collision mitigation systems, they used be called good drivers.

      You need to read that lease agreement. You don't own that truck, Prime owns that truck and they will do what they want with it. You're just the person that's paying for it in hopes to get a bigger piece of the pie on Friday. As long as you run their DoT number and don't hold the title to that truck then Prime can do whatever they want. Because in that contract there is a safety feature clause and guess what this camera falls under.

    Cameras came around 9 months ago give or take. The lease truck payments went up in a similar time 2-300 bucks more. A week. Freight rates went down but the company is paying the cost of the system that doesn’t get us the drivers a discounted insurance. But gets a discounted rate to the prime company. How does this save me money again. If I don’t wreck I don’t pay the deductible. That’s how it works. There is a master plan for this fleet and the best revenue stream is the student factory. A few years ago if a student quit six months into the year they paid half the bill of the training cost. Seven weeks ago it was confirmed to me that if the student does 364 days. Then the student will pay the full 4400 bucks to prime now the freight is slow and we are now trying for new trainers to train while doing solo loads and paying primes employee times your current cost by one and a half but your revenue goes up by 20 percent??? Make it make sense. In seven years it hasn’t felt like a slave system until the last 15 months. Slave to the payment.

Have an attorney notify Prime that if they don’t cease the Netradyne roll out immediately there will be a work stoppage of X,000 drivers in one week. When Prime ignores it (and they will) everyone takes three days off. Then have the attorney go back and tell them again to pull Netradyne or in one week X,000 drivers will be quitting.

And yep, Prime is very happy to shed drivers now, as are many other transport companies; any resignations will be very welcomed.

What really pissed me off was my company calling me, knowing I can't answer the phone but being pissed if I didn't answer. So basically it's against policy to stop on the side of the road so basically every time they call I gotta get off the highway and stop or else get picked up by the camera as using a phone while driving

    Prime has a history of dishonesty. They were successfully sued by OOIDA years ago for violating the “truth” in leasing regulations. So I wouldn’t believe them on what their intentions were but regardless they are choosing to go that direction. The only way to stop it is if enough 1099 contractors and/or hired carriers say NO! Trust me if enough of their drivers say NO and mean it and are willing to walk away they will backtrack. It’s all about two things: defense against accident lawsuits and winning favor with the FMCSA. It might lower their catastrophic accident insurance rate but otherwise they are like all the big carriers, self insured.

I am familiar with a carrier , privately owned, out of Lincoln, NE that a number of years ago sent out a notice that they were going to stop allowing pets due to interior wear and tear on the trucks and giving current drivers with pets a short period of time to get their pets off the truck or face termination. They pay above average and had an above average reputation in the industry and thought because of that it wouldn’t hurt their driver retention. They quickly found out they were wrong, pets are like family and they started losing drivers with pets quickly. They reversed their decision within a couple months. Point is if enough Prime drivers do the same, they’ll reverse it.

    I have experience driving vehicles with the Netradyne camera system. It's not nearly as invasive as people think. You can still sip your drink, look at the scenery, and so forth. It's not a live feed system either. It records but only save the recording when certain incidents occur like looking down at your phone while driving or running a stop light/sign. They aren't watching you sleep or anything like that. If you are already a good focused driver, then its unlikely you will get dinged for anything.
    That being said, I'm not trying to argue FOR the cameras,. I'm just trying to offer my experience for anyone who chooses to stay with a company who installs cameras, so that they can have a little peace of mind knowing its not some kind of big brother spy device like some people make it out to be.

      No. Netradyne is collecting information for first/final mile logistics, which by summer 2025, more than half of trucking will be. Trains to do the long haul, and trucks doing the final haul. The cameras are an added bonus to eliminate lease drivers in the companies favor. Remember, company lease is illegal, many thousands of dollars will be assessed by the IRS starting July first, then October first.

      Insurance look for ways to NOT pay benefits. They offer companies incentives to implement any system that insurance companies think will offer a way to bail out on a claim. COMPANIES should consider if the little premium benefit is worth any video interpretation that insurance could use to leave a company with the tab of a disaster. Insurance exits to make money, not pay claims. With government insurance mandates, insurance companies have an almost free hand in devising ways to MAKE MORE MONEY BY NOT PAYING A CLAIM IF A VIDEO OF THE DRIVERS FACE AND CAB CAN BE USED TO DO SO. - Justified or not.

  • @thesage250
    @thesage250 5 месяцев назад +3

    That theory about Prime trying to discourage new drivers from applying for jobs or pushing current drivers out don’t make any sense. Reduce driver recruitment and low freight will eventually make drivers leave. Why go spend millions of dollars on cameras when you just let a truck sit for a couple of weeks and the driver will move on for themselves?

    • @Tay.juhWoods
      @Tay.juhWoods  5 месяцев назад +4

      Well, freight is low already. Prime does have a quota for company drivers. Lease drivers are always welcomed to join prime because that’s just how the company is… they make their money through lease purchase and reefer freight.
      All I have to go by is anecdotal evidence that inward facing cameras deter new drivers from coming to prime. You go on their RUclips channel, the comments are overwhelmingly negative… pissed off drivers that are threatening to leave. Even people in my comments that don’t even wanna go to prime because of this

  • @abctrucker8601
    @abctrucker8601 6 месяцев назад +3

    The only way your own boss in trucking is if you make truck payments to a bank, find your loads, do your own accounting, repairs your own equipment, & have your own authority and DOT number. Lease purchase has been a scam. It a story old as time, but yet each year these carriers lure new gullible drivers in with look at all this money you can make!
    Lease carrier drivers actually earn less money than employees considering the benefits they give up. Like for example no 401k with company match.
    That’s a big one. Most everyday people hit millionaire status in their 50’s from their 401ks and their home equity.
    Maybe a lease driver here can tell me, do you get health insurence through your carrier?
    Couple years ago I bought private health insurence and my premium was 500 per month and they wanted to raise it to 550 the next! I canceled it. I’m a single relatively health 35 yr old who doesn’t smoke. If you do smoke or have a family god help you.

    • @Tay.juhWoods
