How drivers, legal experts and insurers feel about driver-facing cameras

- While drivers are mostly opposed to driver-facing cameras, opportunities do exist with the technology.
It’s no secret in trucking that most drivers aren’t big fans of having driver-facing cameras in their cabs. The argument many drivers give, and perhaps with good reason, is that the truck is their home and they feel like their privacy is being invaded by having cameras turned toward them.
New research released this month by the American Transportation Research Institute dove into the issue of driver-facing cameras and how they are perceived not only by drivers, but by legal experts and insurers, as well.

Treating employees like criminals.
When do I get a camera in the CEOs office?
No driver likes cameras period. This video is baloney!
Exactly
Reality!
Not one single person. Only people that do like them are the chair sitters in a A/C office 8 hours of the day
These people on this video are shills for the trucking companies. My company just put inward-facing cameras in the trucks outward-facing they don't have them just inward-facing so I quit. And good riddance to the trucking companies.
Driver Facing cameras? Daum it! It's just another way to micromanage drivers. Driving used to be fun, (Not So Much These Days.) Can't imagine having the whole company's office staff in the truck with me. 24/7. I tell you what, let us drivers set up cameras in the company's employees' bedrooms. 😮. #(IT'S ALL ABOUT PRIVACY)🎉 💯
Doesn’t Crete have front facing cameras ?
Oppression and harassment comes in many ways, shapes and forms....
This evaluation was ifnorant there is no good that comes from invading my privacy period
I am driver in a big company i feel like 2024 freight is low that camera is a tool to rid of drivers it picks minor mistakes . It makes driving more depressing .
Didnt hear a single benefit of a DFC here. Not one.
Where exactly did they get even slim percentages of drivers saying something positive about cameras facing the driver? I haven’t met a single one yet. These people are bending the truth with their survey information to get the answers they want.
Still no good reasons to have them.
This is so uncomfortable especially for woman who need privacy and not their pervert manager watching
Those watching employees, must have cameras in their faces. Strictly speaking, it is un American.
As a driver I am not pleased with having an instrument pointed at me 24/7 that records everything I do and every sound I make. I can’t have a private conversation inside my truck, I can’t have any privacy at all as long as that device is connected to the trucks battery and can be remotely turned on and off without my knowledge and consent. Who wants that?
Who is okay with having a camera that can watch and listen to them in their most private areas of their life, their bedroom, kitchen, living room and yes, sometimes bathroom? No one wants to be watched and listened to 24/7!
This why nobody wants to work anymore
How about a led light indicating someone watching or listening
It's one sided out here. Car drivers, camper drivers, and rental box trucks. All they need is a regular driver license and they have no idea about stopping distance, more weight takes longer to stop, not over loading the gross weight. It needs to be a two way street not a one way.
I agree with you. These corporate rats just see the truck and nothing else around it.
I’m sick and tired of Driving Facing Cameras! Nothing is positive about it! How the hell do you shut the cameras voice down or off?
It’s form of bugging and can be used as blackmail
I’m enjoying reading all this positive feedback. Warm and fuzzy, ain’t it?
So how about when companies just fire you for the driver camera? Was anyone surveyed on that? It's ok, I guess. Last company that did this to me then lost their contract with their client. Because they couldn't keep enough trucks on the road. They kept firing drivers. I hope it causes them to go belly-up. I'm now more serious than ever about becoming an owner-op. I just don't need this level of hassle in my life.
Baby let me tell you!!!! I’ve been driving 6 months and I’ve gotten calls about me sipping my energy drink ! It isn’t alright! An outward facing camera can tell you everything you need to know! It’s literally the reason I’ve learned to sleep in my pajamas or jeans in the sleeper!
Ya there is no reward for good this is all bs and about controlling. These cameras take away good judgment. Why look just let the cameras tell you it makes lazy drivers.
It will cost trucking companies big $$$ if the driver-facing videos enhance the insurance companies' ability to deny claims.
In my working career I have various levels of safety training and most has been beneficial to me and those I worked with. The one area that never seemed to be of help was electronic monitoring of employees. More common than not the electronic data was misinterpreted and the employee was wrongly disciplined and a no win hostel work environment developed.
I have always benefited from good safety training. I'm retired now but I still follow safety practices in my daily activities. Don't drive distracted, Keep awareness of of the road and traffic around you. Inspect equipment prior to, during and after use. Find a defect get it fixed. Safety is important but I don't believe a driver facing camera is a good choice in most cases.
It's beautiful when companies that have driver facing cameras get sued and lose cases because their driver facing cameras are used as evidence against them.
Stop saying cameras. It's a surveillance system
Canada Ruled That Driver Facing Cameras Were An Invasion Of Privacy.Why Doesn't The U.S.A Come To That Same Common Sense Conclusion.
My Company Has A Driver Facing Camera & Not Only Do They Hear Every Intimate Conversation I Have. The Company Is Also Able To Hold Conversations With Me While The Truck Is On Or In Accessory Ignition. Mode.I
These people are corporate salesmen. Euphemisms are their favorite words.
Does this guy talking, have a camera in his car, so he can be under surveillance ?
Celebrate the driver and pay more money
I understand if a drive who has been in a ditch a couple of times though
Wouldn't be a problem if your company does use it micro manager and write you up for stupid shit like me today getting wrote up for looking at my dash for a dew seconds setting my cruise control with noone around me
What alert went off when you where doing this? Or do they record your entire trip?
@donaldwhoskins it's ai that watches you your whole trip 🙄 thing will flag u if your eyes don't move every 4 seconds it's fucking crazy
Driver are not in charge. Witch was first the need to transport goods,and services or a truck driver. It is loss prevention.
This product is a total joke. As if my work didn’t already cause anxiety now they install this thing to cause total anxiety all day long. All the time. I don’t agree with products that invades peoples privacy, especially with artificial intelligence. Talk about putting all the drivers on edge all the time. I get it if everyone in the company gets a camera, but if you discriminate and only install them in one department of the company then it’s a problem.
Everyone thinks they are great till they have to sit in front of them all day. They can prove the company and driver guilty just as easy as innocent.
AMERIKA!
We dont need cameras we need a truck that will drive itself and just need the driver to tell it where to go and to sign paperwork. You can put the cameras on the truck for sight seeing across the country side.
Oh God.. Some your data is deceitful.. Nobody wants driver facing cameras.. Ask the simple question.. Do you want a camera facing you at all times.. The answer is no.. Do you like a camera on your face at all times.. I doubt it.. Fwd facing cameras are exceptable because you can cover it when your not driving.. You are complicating the issue.. I except fwd facing I unplug it when I want and I disable the mic and the speakers..
Hey Tim, how about we stop bringing your groceries. There is no expectation that we should help take care of you. Grow a garden, raise your livestock, make your own clothes. Don’t stick your head in a noose without an expectation.
Yes, the drivers live in their cab; however, there is no expectation of privacy. When the sleeper birth curtains are closed, and the driver is in the sleeper birth, there is no issue with the natural world or the camera observing them. While driving, everyone can see you.
Additionally, I can give other professional comments if you wish to reach out. I respect everything you do at CCJ and do not want to dilute what you say here. Thank you for the content.
What about sound and why do they have to have the damn curtains closed. I have this shit in my work truck. It’s not even a truck. It’s a freaking small work van. It’s an invasion of privacy, listening to everything you say, and do the whole time you’re in an out in this van all day long. You cannot have any conversations while you’re driving or off the clock with your friends or family.😮 is absolute bullshit. I will cover it up and make sure they can’t hear a word I say. They can view the road if they want to and that’s it.🙈☠️🔥😡
F u cameras won't work for them
