Oh my😱! If only there was a way of knowing how they know🤔 I mean, it’s not like I tag them in my vídeos and share my driver code😐. You must be onto something 😎
Perhaps, I am on the fence on this one. That is toying with mob mentality. Sounds like a plan until your freedom is the one thats affected. I’m not thrilled about the idea of cameras. But how can I fault someone for doing what they want with their company?

They understand how bad this is for drivers. That’s why the whole push is a sales pitch. When is the last time they said they were doing something for the drivers and you got excited about it? Everything they do is for the in-house employees. You are expendable.
I don't care, I do love and enjoy my privacy, also making phone calls and talking out loud they will have your thoughts and business recorded. I do will not for a minute drive for a company who wants to put in cameras and audio in the truck I'm driving to watch me the whole time I'm in that truck. I'll just quit the job and move on to another company that do not have cameras, and once they get their cameras too, then I'll just find another line of work to do. I'm not just a trucker I'm also into building communications systems and tower climbing to install antennas and feedline. Minor computer programming and more. I believe that the camera deal is weak and will not fix issues with the industry at all, just make people want to quit and leave for another company. Prime is losing drivers like crazy I hear, and they have to deal with it, now I hear they have cheap $1.00 per mile loads and those who take it is stupid. Too many trucking companies are totally out of touch with life of others on the OTR. Back in the 1970s trucking was great, many who drove OTR made great money, bought homes and put their children to college. Now days trucking is just a big hassle, and you make closet to nothing in the end. I see so many trucking companies going out of business due to corruption and not paying their drivers their right amount of money and dispatch stealing driver's standby pay.
But see, what you are describing is what makes a free market great. When companies do something employees(drivers) don’t like, it pushes the ones that care or are passionate out of their comfort zone. They are free and motivated to look for a company that works for them by having what they are looking for. The best companies would be the ones afloat. Now, I understand that the system is not perfect and there is not true freedom because we are all dependent on income and are sometimes stuck. But that is not a result of the system. That is a result of not living below our means to be able to have flexibility when things like this happen. Learning other trades while on the road is also a thing to consider. Being a driver there is a lot of time to work on self improvement. A lot of people (myself included sometimes) don’t take advantage of that and back themselves to a corner. Then react out of desperation more than anything(myself included at some point). When it comes to the camera stuff. Prime has said no audio will be recorded. That can be taken with a grain of salt. Regardless, I will continue to operate the way I do🤷🏻♂️. I too enjoy my privacy and don’t like the camera stuff. But after waging pros and cons, It is still an option that works for me.
We would have to define Owner Operator first. If you run your truck under someone else’s authority (Prime), you are not really an owner operator. Because most people(myself included) run under Prime’s authority, we are subject to the rules(policies) they implement. But we are also free to disagree and go elsewhere
Driver facing cameras are the least of a drivers concerns right now considering that automation is in the process of rendering most drivers obsolete. The megas know that in this environment the drivers who don't have many options to make a living will put up with almost anything. Meanwhile folks loke like me who enjoy OTR have already quit or soon will because I'm not killing myself because the companies are operating at a loss. The company tried to tell me I have to accept certain conditions because of "the rates and the spot market." I told them that they are the ones who have to worry about rates and the spot market. When the rates were sky high and I drove 7 days a week for months on end for .50 cpm they didn't give extra money because of the rates - they kept it for themselves. So why would I do anything different because the company can't make money? Not my problem. I'd love to be in a truck right now and I have a spotless record and I almost always pickup and deliver on time. But since I will say "no" to certain conditions (no, I will not do short runs all over the NE in a reefer for .60 cpm and the rates and the spot market won't change my mind) they don't want me anymore.
They say no audio and it only going to show your drivers seat and nothing more. The rest will be blurred. The question I would have is how many chances drivers to be corrected before letting you go? They you can hold your drink other than alcohol and you can eat something. But that doesn’t make sense. Basically don’t have your phone in your hand while driving and keep your following distance from other vehicles. That what they are looking for
And you for got seatbelt,U turns, turning to hard. Breaking to hard, yawning, eye blinks to make sure your not falling asleep, lane control, standing up while truck is moving 😊
@@Bigzero.Scratcher the trucks already have hard braking warning systems, stabilizing warning system, following distances and if it triggered they will be calling you also you can see it on your MygPrime Apps
I drove for a company with inward facing cameras and it’s something I do not recommend. I have a clean record for 20+ years. It’s was a big hassle with the safety department like covering the camera during my personal time and singing. I wound up leaving the company which was one of the best jobs in trucking I’ve had. I found myself double checking myself all the time in my head so the camera wouldn’t go off and I get a phone call. It drove me insane and I was finding myself worrying more about the camera and not the road. I hope you have success with ot
I don’t like it one bit! It’s caused me unnecessary anxiety and my job is already stressful. BUT, as you said there’s no point stressing over something I have no control over AND Prime has been good / fair to me so far.
It’s small steps and then one day you wake up and bam your locked down with a screw up your a double s. Do what’s makes you happy. I’m in the same kind of boat where I’m at but i only have 6 more years and im done with the whole thing.
You’ll be fine. It’s AI based meaning it will detect you using your phone, or not paying attention to the road. So no more texting and driving / using your phone for maps.
they also said "the prices for the 2025 trucks for lease operators are locked in" i'd check (if you stay and get a 2025) really hard to make sure theres not a line item for that camera regardless. ALSO, they said for the 2025 trucks....what about the 2026 trucks? they are gonna end up making you pay for them on the 2026 trucks BET. I'd argue too, that if you're the one paying for them that you should be able to turn them off or even completely dismantle them, but we know its not going to work that way lmao
We have a fleet of aprprox. 65 cars and pickups. All of them have cameras. Only the offenders have to worry at all. Our system has parameters that it knows. If you don't put on your seatbelt, it tells you, if you don't correct it, it reminds you a second time after the second warning, the systems highlights the incident on a report that HR reviews. Speeding is set for 5 miles over the speed limit, distracted driving is sensitive to your body image in camera, IE. it knows if you are on the phone if you hold it to your ear, if you hold it in front of you it doesn't sense it. For us smoking is a no no and it senses body position for that. HR has no interest in sitting in front of a computer looking at reports for cameras. In the end it will be much ado about nothing. Even if it sees something you didn't realize you do, it will be beneficial to everyone on the road. Also, it is illegal for them to record any conversation in the cab without you consent.
Speeding is set at about over 5 mph. How do your driver's deal with that in Chicago where traffic goes over speed limit at all times? A slower driver causes traffic jam and more trouble cuz all the little cars and truck will try pass. Speeds are usually around 10 mph more than posted speed limit!
@@Trashman702and no smoking! I don't smoke but many truckers do , so what are they going to do ? Stop 10 minutes every time they wanna smoke! That's too much....
I never thought Prime would implement a camera system on their fleet. I believed Prime would be the only company that would steer clear from them but I guess I was wrong. I hate ANY camera system that the company controls. And it’s ALWAYS a safety person, sitting down on a desk that has a normal License and 0 semi experience that’s telling you how to drive the truck, just because AI told them so. For what I know, Netradyne cameras are VERY PICKY. Look in your mirror for so long? Event Captured. Thirsty and took a little sip of water? Event Captured. Look in your gps to see your next exit? event captured. All them little things, puts a lot of pressure on a driver, to basically please the camera, to then please the safety department, to then please the company so they can please the insurance company, meanwhile your stressing that the camera don’t go off and captures a video along with 4 wheelers cutting you off left right and center, and hope that don’t trigger the camera or else it will slam you with following distance event.
violoation of constitutional rights and wait until they use it against in court- so much for your 5th amendment. or worse the other party gets the footage and suits u and the company and you wind up in jail
I’m working for a company that uses them. Trust me to all you Prime Drivers, you will do just fine with them. They’re not that bad. The ones who need to worry are the ones who are not following the rules.
Here's the thing with cameras! They will save you or they will hang you and if you are a company driver,a lease operator or an owner operator if you are running under someone's authority you have no say because you dont own it despite the way it was announced! These insurance companies are crippling carriers with rate increases! Check into buying your own truck and getting your own authority and you better be sitting down when you see what your insurance is going to cost you! Do your job the way you know it's suppose to be done and you wont have any problems! I drove with a camera and it changed nothing i did!

Perhaps, I am on the fence on this one. That is toying with mob mentality. Sounds like a plan until your freedom is the one thats affected. I’m not thrilled about the idea of cameras. But how can I fault someone for doing what they want with their company?
I dont wear clothes at all when im inside the truck. That includes the drivers seat. I hope they don't have a problem with that.
If they do you will be fired! 😂

Prime a lease driver is just a company driver with all the liability on the driver not the company
I disagree on the “just”
Prime said that they needed the camera in the truck to see dope head driver
