THE TRUTH ABOUT DRIVECAM

[@jasongreene7878]

This video is the truth. If the company installs a program called "Unisyn" the cam could record audio and video of the driver without a trigger and without the drivers knowledge. Up to 7 days of playback would be available to whoever wants to view it.

This is a huge factor in why they can't find drivers still in 2021 (the media conveniently doesn't mention the drive-cam reason!!) Such an invasion of privacy. Many road drivers have their wives with them and it's none of the company's business what they talk about or what they do (after all you wouldn't want a camera in the bedroom while you and her make love) No one should work for someone that doesn't trust them or wants to spy on their drivers.

I absolutely hate these cameras when used with a company “point system” on top that they induce unnecessary amounts of stress and anxiety, especially when the “points” you might get take 18 months to drop off with the “point system” It’s nothing but a liability protection for their insurance rates and covering up for any companies lack of training for their drivers programs.

[@bwright925]

It is not a live feed. It only saves footage when it is triggered by an event. They can't "log in" and look at you whenever they want. If they show you footage, it must be triggered by braking or swerving or a big jolt. It is recording all the time but it doesn't save it unless it's triggered. It's not a live feed.

[@stevedugger7552]

They can watch you anytime...each camera is assigned to a specific truck and can be accessed at any time....lots of drivers have lost their jobs because of drive cam....I know because I have talked to people who i used to work with in our trans office and we both work for different companies now...they confirmed what i suspected.....

[@bwright925]

Steve Dugger That's not true. They cannot look at it when ever they want. People you talked to who lost their job is because they set the camera off and they were doing something that caused them to get fired. I know for a fact you cannot look at when ever you want too. It's impossible. I know first hand due to a court case involving my company. It is not and never has been a live feed

[@bwright925]

Steve Dugger Now let's say you set the camera off and get called into the office. The drive cam event will say what triggered the event. Hard braking, swerving, ect. The technology needed for every truck in the fleet to be a mobile live feed camera would take up way more room than the little box it's in. Plus, it is unethical and illegal for the company to tell you it's not a live feed when it is. They would open themselves up to many lawsuits and that isn't good business. There is nothing in it for the company to lie to you about the camera. It is not a live feed and anyone who thinks so is ignorant of the facts.

[@johnsfo2023]

Training a camera on the driver is too much information--that the other party could try to use against the driver's company. The problem is nearly always the 4-wheelers, and this is what cameras are needed for, so cameras watching the front, sides, and rear are a good idea--but NOT the driver. Outward-facing cameras have captured so much misconduct by motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians causing collisions that they've shown clearly how frequently that it is they who are the cause of mishaps. The problem with this may be insurance companies insisting on cameras watching the driver, and legislation keeping cameras off of the driver may be necessary. On buses, trolleys, and rapid transit trains, an advantage of having a camera trained on the driver or motorman is that it can record an assault for an air-tight case, but otherwise, if the other party is shown to be at fault in a collision, the other party should not be allowed access to footage of the driver. If I were an insurance company, I wouldn't want cameras trained on drivers because it could increase liability pay-outs by my company.

Then after realizing that was a lie they said they would only be triggered by critical events such as hard breaking, hard acceleration, taking turns too fast, and accidents. That was a lie.

This shows that anybody who says labor unions are outdated is talking out of their ass.

Labor unions use them to. Unfortunately. But I will not

[@jdrancho1864]

You mean unionized carriers (such as are still around) use in-cab cams, too? I think that's what you mean, but you are missing my point then. Just like cops are having to deal with bodycams, truckers will have to deal with cabcams. I don't see them going away. But cops have their union (police protective league) to back them up in case of a dispute with top brass. An individual trucker has no one in his corner either at the beginning, when a company decides to install this type of surveillance, or when there is a disciplinary issue arising from a specific cabcam video. FYI, my company uses cabcams as well. We use daycabs. I already had one 'talk' about a hard braking event. It was informal, nothing I had to sign. But even so, I am afraid it might be used against me at some point in the future. And that's the issue. When that day comes, I'd like to have someone by my side who has experience in dealing with this and similar matters. The way it is now, I feel I would be completely at the company's mercy.

[@bigredchevytruck]

I don't even mean nationwide. Because that will be very difficult to do that and would probably never happen. The company I work for now doesn't have the Drive Cam in every single truck across the fleet yet. I had an incident where I was in a tight spot and I scraped a pole with the trailer at a Pilot in Oregon. The pole wasn't anchored in the ground so I barely touched it and the thing falls over. I got the Drive Cam in my truck shortly after that incident. If the drivers in my company stood up and said, if you put these things in all the trucks fleet wide, we won't drive. Even if only half of the drivers stand up for it, a few hundred drivers walk away from the trucks and they lose millions of dollars. Those cameras come out permanently in less than a week. All it would take is a hundred or so drivers to make a difference.

[@truckingreviewchannel]

True that. I got the cams removed from this company in 2 weeks an this video. But cams are still going to come because the damn insurance companies want them. Bastards

[@bigredchevytruck]

Unfortunately, it's just like the automatic transmissions in the trucks. A lot of companies are going all automatic fleet in the next few years because of the fuel economy of the automatic transmission and less burnt up clutches from newbies who can't shift. A lot of truckers hate it but that's kind of where the industry is going to be in the next few years. The Drive Cam is in the same realm as the automatic transmission.

[@truckingreviewchannel]

Yup it is. Night brother

[@ThisGuysAnimation]

I work for a company that has drive Kam's on the vehicle exterior and interior And all I want to say about that is if I were the talk of the office for doing something embarrassing or doing something that I didn't know I did and you found hilarious I would definitely seek legal action only because I think that's a gross misuse of Federal property But hey that's just me thanks for the story

I don't mind the drive cam but I do have an issue with the two way camera. If it is just watching the traffic and road, its all good since these 4 wheelers cause majority of the accidents with trucks and the driver always takes the fall. Watching the cab is an issue.

There are cameras in use that can see you through the walls in your home and easily inside of your truck. The image is as clear as an xray or now even better. Anything that has wifi connection can be turned on wirelessly and even point your location, including your digital camera, computer or GPS,its microphone can be used to eavesdrop on your conversation and even hand held camera can be used to film and record you. It's been on the news, nothing new about it. And guess what, and since your new trucks have wireless connection hackers can now connect and hack into your trucks computer and disable your breaks while at the same time turn your steering wheel and increase the speed or shut down your engine all together, whatever they want, same with any new car. This also been on the news,and I noticed that people in general choose to ignore it. Apathetic population doesn't care, unbelievably ignorant masses, like Noam Chomsky says, atomized as hell. If there's camera pointed at you, assume it's recording.

[@gmarqz13]

F drive cam I work for Estenson and all they do is nit pick about everything you do in an event. I didn't know hard breaking was against the law last time I checked it says nothing about hard breaking on the DMV book I'm on a final here and I keep my truck clean and polished and my truck not wrecked after a long day in it. Also it is very sensitive cause sometimes I'll stop and it won't go off so I don't believe they are being truthful about these shaming devices. I think an attorney needs to step in for us and make these companies pay big time for them harassing us truckers who are trying to make an honest $ .they are not telling us the truth about these devices clearly on how they work they make the rules as they go no real standards on these devices

[@truckingreviewchannel]

+gmarqz13 I agree 100 % that would just say don t work there probably but I'm think about that lawyer thing

[@kellylowe9701]

I work there as well and they do use drivecam to nit pick. We were told in the beginning it was to help us out. Its only the opposite. To write you up at least 3 to 4 times a month with driver coachings. I've been driving class A for over 20 years no accident no tickets clean record but according to drivecam I'm just no good and obviously need to be off the highway if I'm that bad. It reminds me of being in kindergarten and being bullied all the time. Now I'm an adult getting bullied by corporate. If I get into an accident and its my fault please by all means review and punish accordingly but once again please stop the bullying. Just imagine you only know one thing and you have the best record and plenty of driver awards stacked up over the years and boom!!!....... Drivecam says no way! You suck! You are a pos! I think ones whole self esteem is completely shot. Good luck everybody!

Your welcome very much

[@MustangsTrainsMowers]

All it takes is some cardboard, tape and scissors and you could make a cover over one or both cameras for privacy. Unless there is a microphone for audio. I suspect it’s possible for the government and/or others to tap into our smartphones when they are off and turn on the mic and cameras and still show a black screen. I deliver pizza and I have thought of getting a vehicle camera.

[@giovanideparma3500]

I just started this trucking job( only a month) and already safety called me in for a random drug test ..WTF?? They have smart drive cams

[@truckingreviewchannel]

The random is generated by a 3rd party company that does a pool between 3 or 4 different companies, this is to escape liability of a bad test. But some companies monitor there can to a crazy degree or have a 3rd party monitor it. If you are safe you will do fine. Move away form that company as soon also you are good to go. Thanks for stopping by

[@giovanideparma3500]

Trucking Review Channel I don't think I understand what you mean, the random is generated by 3th party company to escape liabilities ? I don't get that part ?

[@truckingreviewchannel]

Unless you just do something wrong witch I doubt. Randoms are done on a lottery system. Of several companies usually. It is cheaper for them that way. Less randoms on average

This just happenes to me too not for a truck company but i work for cable company. They were doing mass layoffs but dont want to pay unemployment so they started writing me up for any safety issue they could come up. My last write up was for failure to project far enough even though i was not close to hitting anyone and not tailgating anyone or distracted.

Damn big brother coming to every field. Damn the ass holes

[@MustPassTruck]

Everyone in every industry has cameras watching them. Grocery store checkout, cubicle office workers. Best way to avoid it is own your own truck or company. It sucks, but the reality is that the company has a right to know how drivers are operating the companies trucks. My company said they are getting these and so far it is about 50/50 as to the drivers liking or hating the idea.

John Penny thank you. Will try this the next time I set the camera and red light off in our government truck lol

[@cullenwassell3511]

Tip regarding DriveCam: If the light is green, the camera is in "standby mode" - that is, it's recording, but not saving anything, nor is it being monitored. If the light is red after you hit a bad bump, slam on brakes, or set off the stability control, it's in "Critical Event Mode" - it is saving and sending what it records, and will go green again after 10 seconds. If the light randomly goes red and stays red, it is being monitored remotely. So, if you're constantly seeing a red light on your DriveCam, pitch a fit with your safety department, because they ARE watching you.

[@truckingreviewchannel]

+Cullen Wassell thx but that's wrong, that's what they won't you to believe it records 24 ,7 save to the cloud. I called the manufacturer.

[@truckingreviewchannel]

+Cullen Wassell they was watching on my home time when the truck was parked an electrical switch disengaged

[@bwright925]

It's not a live feed. The technology needed to do that would cost way more than $15 A month. It is recording all the time but doesn't save it unless it's triggered. Then it's sent via a cell phone signal to drive cam. It's not a live feed.

[@bwright925]

That's not true. If the light is red it means it has an event that hasn't been uploaded yet. If they were going to sky on people and not tell you about it, why would they make the light turn a different color while they "watch" you? That makes no sense. It's not a live feed. Never has been.

[@RG-wy1ol]

Thank you for clearing this up out of all this BULLSHIT feedback you info was super helpful and 100% accurate 👍👍.

[@RG-wy1ol]

I was told the same thing that our company said it only records when sudden stops or a major event lights goes from green to red when recording. If that's the case our company policy says no cellphones and every driver that trained me used there cellphones. So are they really 100% recording all the time

[@truckingreviewchannel]

Recording yes, but if they play by the rules they won't be watching all the time. An they may only have the whole package on every so many trucks

[@mikeharvestdairy]

My truck was barely in motion on flat level ground no brakes were being applied trucks was not rocking side to side. At that particular moment my C belt was off And the whole entire day the camera did not go off til that particular moments. I think my supervisor was watching me and triggered the drive cam to go off.

He can see 3 minutes into the past. So maybe

Trucking Review Channel, I guess you said in your video she said there are “disturbing video” of you and you said she asked what you were doing ing the woods. It just felt like there was a good story there and it was just dropped. I don’t expect some criminal confession. Just hoping for a complete real or fiction back story to satisfy my Curiosity. You were telling the story so well, it just feels incomplete. But to the rest of your story about drive cam, you are absolutely correct about how you can be spied on. I installed them on Government Vehicles overseas. Can’t go into detail but it gave me concern about how secure they are considering the highly sensitive operations going on and The top level secret conversations that could potentially occur in those vehicles. I’d like to think that our government considered the risk but seeing all the leaks in the News I don’t put too much faith in that. Typically highly sensitive information isn’t allowed to be discussed anywhere but a secure a room, but I can also see there being an exception to the rule when it comes to field work and informants.

I think drivecam and the legal use of it is the gateway to spying on drivers personal life. There's no tracing of who is using those drivecams so if youre on the phone giving a credit card number to an operator or wife etc. They can steal that info and your cant trace it back. Trucking is the most scrutinized penalized job in the world.
