Tell your fleet manager, you want to install cameras in his house to keep track of him. See how that goes.

A company I drove for informed all the drivers they were going to add inward facing cameras I explained my objections but I understood it was ultimately their business. When the time came for the cameras to be installed I thanked them for the opportunity and politely exited stage right.

Old timer here. I feel for the new generation of driver. Having never known what true freedom and the open road once were.

PRIME = Pretending It's My Equipment

I’ve been driving for 25 years and there is absolutely NO WAY I’d ever drive for a company that has cameras facing me. This is a total invasion of privacy!

Do not volunteer! There’s implications of legality. If cameras are not mentioned in your contracts with Prime, do not volunteer.

That's y I'm an owner operator , you can't tell me nothing

Prime is cutting their loses on lawsuits putting the blame on the driver the lawyers will be shooting fish in a barrel. The driver doesn’t get a dime in lower operating costs and takes on all the risk.

It’s possible that they will give up on the cameras if enough drivers quit….I worked for TMC transportation for 6 years they are flatbed company that have the nice black and chrome Peterbilts…The company attempted to transition to cameras in every truck but the push back was very strong and the drivers stood in solidarity about the actions they would take if cameras in every truck became mandatory…What ended up taking place at that was TMC pulled back on the cameras in every truck and only put them in drivers trucks who had a bad record of critical events and bad operating skills ie speeding and hitting things, and also guys that wanted them…believe it or not there were drivers who wanted the cameras as well, but definitely just a small minority…but all of this was years ago,,, currently I don’t know what the situation is…but stick together as drivers and you all can get the changes and policies that you want….

That should be a deal breaker for every driver if all the drivers stuck together and said NO CAMERA pointed at me in my personal space they would have to drop that bullshit

I don't mind the cameras facing out and the ones placed under the mirrors. Cameras in cab and pointing at the driver is crossing the line for me. We'll see wassup Friday

Does this company understand that you get dressed in your truck, this is your home on the road... I think they are asking for trouble..

Invasion of privacy.

If they ain't volunteering no extra funds , then I ain't volunteering anything , talk to me when it's mandatory

I don't like what I'm hearing. If you're OK, why the cameras, hmmmmmm. Slimepack follow your mind sweetheart!!!!!❤😊

I learned very quickly to not volunteer for anything in my job. The more you know, the more you are expected to do. No matter where you work, you are just a number to them. There is always someone waiting to take your job. It's not always greener somewhere else. You are 100 percent correct.

I've worked for 2 Carrier's both with cameras and its a up hill battle. Their going to always watch u

Dang if they wanna watch your KZfaq channel they just need to say that. They ain't gotta put no cameras in your truck they trippin. I love your channel

I think a camera in your truck is an invasion of your privacy. If you put a camera is for your personal safety not for a company to use the camera to their advantage.

Glad I finish my year and half 😂and I told my FM sent me back to terminal this week and I return the scam lease truck and I already applied with Crete refer division and have appointment May 18 😄 wish me luck 🍀

😂 he probably get a bonus for every volunteer 😂

It's called invasion of privacy

thk u 4 this update. ur channel interests many, like we who r not truckers, but luv road trips!

You made some true statements about everything especially leaving one company an thinking the grass is gonna be greener on the other side an it's really not.... Keep doing your Thang Babe an Stay safe Mz.Trucker 💯🙏🏾😉

Wherever your videos go, I go! Stay safe!

That's a invasion of your privacy!!

Your right. The show will go on. When it comes to saving money, they will let drivers go and they will get some more from Trucking School and keep it moving. That was good content. Keep up the good work.

Somebody should start a petition against these insurance companies/Trucking companies that wants driver facing cameras in trucks for invasion of privacy idgaf what no one says it’s not cool

Bet there's a built-in microphone in the device too. Even though they claim it's only video and no audio

Don't let them play u . Probably I years to come the Dot will try to mandate cameras . Truck drivers should resist at all cost . Cameras won't lower your insurance but it will there's and also give the a reason to throw u under your own wheels .

Ask me!! Fuck no is the answer real quick just like that😂

I have no remorse for anyone in a company truck .. take what you get ..these companies protect themselves and treat you as a number never forget that ..F them all ..

Great advice. Dont leave. Like you said, they are probably all going to do it, so you should take your own advice. Just ask if you can cover the camera once you are sleeping or something, or anytime you cut the truck off.

Your an amazing driver love your videos keep up the great job

The cameras keep rolling even when you're not driving... Invasion of privacy.

Prime announced this at a big conference lately that because of one driver who got caught watching videos while driving down the road. They are putting cameras into EVERY SINGLE one of their trucks

I haven’t been asked yet but I think they need 200 people to test it first off great video slim pack

I don't mind the outta facing camera but the inside to me is invasion of privacy..I ask them how would they feel if I put a camera up in your house,bedroom,bathroom...They like to lie and say it don't record or it only record during a event which is a lie that cam record Constantly but it only keep the events that happen..So they can spy,look in your truck anytime..Mite be changing clothes one day and they can see..

Inward-facing cameras in trucks are often installed for safety and monitoring purposes, especially in commercial vehicles. They can help ensure driver alertness, monitor behavior, and provide evidence in case of accidents or disputes. However, the use of these cameras does raise issues regarding privacy and constitutional rights. The Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable searches and seizures, and the Fifth Amendment protects against self-incrimination. The installation of cameras that continuously record audio and visual information could potentially infringe upon these rights, especially if the recordings are used beyond safety purposes. The legality and specific implications of inward-facing cameras can vary depending on jurisdiction and context. It's important for lawmakers, regulators, and stakeholders to carefully consider the balance between safety and privacy when implementing such technologies. If you're personally affected by this issue or seeking advice, consulting with legal experts or advocacy groups specializing in privacy rights and transportation regulations could provide more specific guidance. Your concerns reflect a broader societal conversation about how technology impacts our fundamental rights, and it's important to engage in these discussions to ensure a fair and balanced approach.

Oh! Wow! Not cameras! Well I have been driving a school bus for 12 years and last month they installed cameras facing me and facing the traffic. So I believe the cameras are coming to all CDL drivers in the near future. You are a great driver and I believe you will make the right decision for you. Stay safe and God bless. SC 💚💚💚

The way you talking....you already caved in!!!!!

Most companies are being sued for driver facing cameras.

Leave their are other companies it's just the begging. Find private companies they don't do all of that .

When they installed cameras in the amazon vans i complained about invasion of my privacy and then i got laid off. I got my IT certificates and havent been able to find work, so now im training for my CDL. I hate cameras

Do your own thing Jasmine! That is so intrusive! You are clean! Prayers for you!

I always said “ the grass is just as brown on the other side of the fence”. Lol

dodge that topic as long as you can because they are watching what we are talking about

Why are they messing with you girl? It’s not even May 10 yet that’s crazy…SMH!! Stay safe out there💪🏾🚛🚛🚛

Hello 👋,, gd seeing uu first time in Maryland. Stay safe driver 😊

Cameras are a no go micro management in a truck is crazy

Swift tried to do this in 2018 didn’t work out too well the lawsuits and a bunch of drivers quitting. They had to disable the inward facing camera🤷🏾‍♂️

Soon as I save up my money to get my own truck I’m gone . 6 months 😂

Greatings from Austria You are doing just fine ❤

I just started with Prime last month. A few things are bothersome to me and that I am not keen on, but they primarily relate to my communication with in-house employees. Some folks on the other side of the phone are not very friendly, are dismissive, and sometimes speak to me as an imbecile. It’s not just people on the other side of the phone; there’s also staff I’ve encountered in person during my times at Springfield who have been the same way. I’m a major extrovert and socialite, so interacting with those types of people is not very fulfilling or pleasant. I also firmly believe in educating someone rather than belittling them, especially if they’re taking the initiative to want to learn. It is not that I have been verbally “belittled,” but that many more parts are involved in effective communication aside from just the words one speaks. Not only do I dedicate so much of my time and life to driving over the road, but I’m also a full-time dual degree student working towards a degree in Psychology and Neuroscience and Cognitive Science while I’m out here over the road, so, please, switchboard lady, do not insult my intelligence lol. 😂 None of that applies to the inward-facing cameras, but I just had to rant and get that out there lmfao. The cameras are certainly repulsive regarding inward-facing, but I was shocked to know they didn't even utilize outward-facing cameras. That's justifiable for insurance and claim purposes. Still, I don't think implementing an inward-facing camera is the most cost-effective solution, nor do I believe it will yield the results they're hoping for. There are still ways around the camera to detect someone on their cell phone without obstructing the lens or making any apparent changes. If drivers cannot refrain from being on their cell phones while driving, then it will still be something they do if there is a camera placed on the windshield or not. I can't see a justified reason to record a driver, audio or visually, when we sacrifice the “traditional” lifestyle, and things we do to drive for a company yet don't get the privilege or respect to embrace our space or privacy. You trust me enough to live in, respect, protect, drive, and hold possession of a $500K vehicle, BUT ONLY if you can record and document my activity. They all say it can’t be accessed live, it doesn’t record all the time, blah blah blah, but I don’t believe that shit as far as I could throw it. I feel like it’s relatable to an Amazon Alexa or any of those devices that sit back and listen 24/7, and you don’t even know it. I’m sure if someone was a psycho and murdered someone in their bunk and was going to trial for it, there would miraculously be footage from that camera that could indict you. I also feel like drivers who receive citations, have accidents, or are a risk to the company or other civilians’ safety for being on their cell phones should be handled and addressed accordingly as an individual. Fire them or whatever they deem necessary. Don’t stick a camera inside everybody’s truck, which doesn’t come with a guarantee that all phone usage while driving will come to a halt if they aren’t a part of the problem. As lease drivers, like the Omnitracs Qualcomm that dates back to before the Titanic, the NaviGo, and everything else aside from a trailer washout, how much will possibly be deducted from our settlements weekly for those? Anyway, I could continue, but I need to save something for next time. Like I said, I’m an extrovert and a socialite. I apologize for the essay. 😂 Those folks in-house don’t like to talk on the phone, and that’s usually when I get my human interaction, so I’m probably lacking and withdrawing from social connections, lol.

Outward facing cameras 🎥 cool👌🏾Inward facing 🫨 NOOOO!!!!!

That’s why I drive for a very small company 12 trucks home every night and good pay

Jas., as for the camera,oh no, if the truck belongs 100% to the company there's not much you can say, but as a owner or lease you have a lot to say.My nephew drives out of Fla., for prime Amazon & quick because of camera (invasion of privacy) so he quit , but you do you, I love this journey with you 🎉

That made me leave Walmart years ago watch out for the windshield reflection

Now I Drove A Truck With one Dash Cam and two Side by Side Mirror Cameras. The Dash Cam only Records when You Brake Hard or in A collision. But they don’t Monitor you while you are Driving. But when you Brake it’ll Record what is Front of You and what you were Doing to Brake. And the Mirror Cameras Are checking behind you and From Side to Side to record if you were staying in Your Lane Due to accident or if someone Rear ends you.

🖐🏿🖐🏿🖐🏿 WATCHED ON WEDNESDAY MAY 8, 2024 AFTERNOON 🙂

Simple fix , all the drivers refuse to drive and walk away from prime or any company that uses those . If you were a day cab that’s one thing but you live in that truck therefore it’s your home and in my opinion that’s an invasion of privacy.

Hey, Jasmine Watching from Baton Rouge, Louisiana . Checking policy and protocol before and if it's not job required you know what to do. Slimepack Nation Supports 😊 you ❤️ ♥️ 🙏🏾 for continued strength and success in Jesus name. Watching on 5/8/24.

Either you volunteer or u going to be volun told And you going to give up the keys

I would have quit no question

My personal experience I work with a mega carrier they did install cameras inside the trk.. they stop putting cameras because the company were losing divers till this day still NO CAMERAS INSIDE..👍

Someone else on yt said i dont know why slime pack care she always got 12 cameras in her face anyways 🤣💀 i be looking for you out here slime pack hahaha you funny af

I am not affiliated with Prime, but Muthertrucker News recently released a video. The unique feature of the inside camera is the AI technology it uses. According to my understanding, if you keep your head down for too long, it will generate noise and alert the company. Schneider National used to have inside cameras in their trucks but removed them. I am unsure of the reason, but it indicates that it is possible that it can be removed later on.

I cant lizard around anymore

I never talked to my fleet manager not in the 5yr I was there as Mark lol live load calls only. They would have to send me a message 😂

It’s a company vehicle. Period. Those cameras will get installed sooner or later. Become an owner op. And to all the lease drivers, you are not an owner op. Anyways, love your videos. Keep it up.

You have the perfect attitude for this situation Jasmine!!!

The inside cameras only comes on when you have a hard brake or the truck motion detector is swaying. It goes back 15 seconds I believe. It’s to keep insurance cost down. Some companies have these cameras in all their trucks. They are key for accidents. I personally had them and when I was on a break I put a napkin over the camera. But when I was working I took it off. It’s for your benefit as well.

ALWAYS follow the money trail! Prime knows there is money to be made on KZfaq videos and, just like the police videos, they want in on the action. I don't think it's personal... They want the revenue.

Well, you gotta do what there say. Remember, you're running under their authority..

I just saw another trucker video and his truck was stolen with his trailer loaded with lumber and that could be the reason for the cameras.

I drive local mixers! We have cameras too! I’m doing my job, so it doesn’t bother me! However, I can definitely respect everyone’s personal opinion about it! Stay safe out there!

Prime is genius. There’s a lot of layoffs happening and instead of them laying people off they instead do the one thing all truckers hate.

If it’s voluntarily, I don’t want it, if it’s mandatory, like you said I will see how it goes. I believe if you are a safe driver it won’t affect you. The cameras won’t be for spying or else prime will make a lot of people rich off law suits. You also sound like a politician. Good reaction video to the situation 😂

Time to LEAVE ✅👍✅

You are right it’s not always greener on the other side but with that said I drove for CFI out of Joplin,Missouri for about 10 years these mega carriers and schools don’t tell the young people they are going to teach you what you need to know to get your CDL license they teach you on a automatic transmission and you will be restricted to the automatic transmission and depending on what state you live in it can be very difficult to get that restriction off your license and learn how to shift a manual transmission but I left CFI because of the automatic transmission and the cameras and the system with them I believe most if not all of the mega carriers have gone to this for a young driver today with the automatic restrictions on their license they are stuck they don’t have much of a choice

I work for ROEHL, we have outward and inward cameras, its not as bad as people makei t out to be in my opinion. Mine is normally turned off and it gets turned on for about 5 minutes every couple weeks. It gets covered by my windshield curtains at night. I honestly dont even think about it anymore

It's not the Trucking Companies... It's the Government. Regulations... The Insurance companies... REQUIREMENTS due to BAILOUTS and MANDATES!..

Leaving In situations that a person is not comfortable with doing, has nothing to do with trying to hurt the company . I think we as ppl all reach a point , when we have to draw a line in the sand

I worked for an insurance company. Drove company car. I paid a fee to also drive company car for personal use. They wanted to install GPS on car and possibly install cameras. Luckily they tried it in a few and realized the juice wasn't worth the squeeze. Not cost effective and possibility of adding additional liability. Lawyers could use in court against driver.

I drive for a very large private fleet. They considered putting driver facing cameras in the trucks. The lawyers thought about it and decided it was actually a liability for them to be in place. During an event, any activity other than gripping the wheel and looking forward or in the mirrors, can be deemed a distraction by opposing council. They decided they didn't want to give the other side any help and opted for forward facing cameras only. I hope this becomes a legal strategy and these cameras start costing the companies money.

If they make the cameras mandatory for Lease Ops then yall should receive a deduction for the weekly lease cost and a lil extra speed since the cameras are most likely for insurance reduction on primes end and some of that damn sure should carry on to the lease folks

Big Brother is ALWAYS wanting to know your every move, right down to when you scratch your butt!

I think its a safty measurement and you are a great driver and do your job well and im not a trucker❤

You can count on inward facing cameras going in the truck it will be used against you and your personal privacy will be gone

Why you? Company policy. KZfaq does not make you special or exempt. Enjoy your new camera. 😂

Thankful I work 4 a smaller trucking company and have no inward facing cameras in the trucks. What about some of the people in charge of looking at these cameras on off shifts watching women drivers caught with their pants down in the office and lost their job’s? Why is this not being talked about folks? This happened 2 a lady I know personally!

I watched a vid from a driver in Iowa who got a new KW T680, It had a dashcam just like his old truck but it wasnt until later that first day that he noticed the camera was turned around. It was watching him. !

We drive.team. They shut us down filming on duty or on premises. Eventually they all will because of all the lawsuits. We.have forward facing cameras only and most companies are going.that route. You are blessed to be able to film.

The AI camera flags you when you look away from the road, like if you have a bag of chips on the passenger seat and you look over at it, the camera will flag you. If your head leaves the green box, flagged. Looking at your mirrors is OK, wont flag you, but anything else it will. I've seen the cameras get guys fired and other times it saved their job.

I would have said he’ll naw he’ll naw😂💯

Nerdy men with access to watch and listen to women on cameras 24/7. What could go wrong? - WW

you right it's not going to stop,, the best thing to do,if, prime drivers should have an input only for outward facing and if it's inward they should let you'll cover them when ever you'll are parked

be sure ur YT intellectual property (UR CONTACT) is not stolen by prime or the camera company. time to copyright! don’t trust those corporate cameras. please do not share ur copyrights &/or trademarks with anyone but trusted fam, please! u have done a lot of work with your YT broadcasting, also.

Hi there. Let’s GO. Hmmmm 😳😳 Well, if the cameras are all forward facing, no audio and the others monitoring outside the truck?? Maybe. But, once corporate gets started with something like this, they add to it. Anywho, do what’s best for you. As you always say, “Have multiple streams of income”. If this is not your cup of tea, there are other professions out there. Stay safe out there💚

Yeah, I’ve been seeing mentions of this coming. I’ve wondered what your opinion was going to be (but I think I assumed it was t going to g to be great). Should Only be for trainees and possibly new drivers in a probationary period! Veteran drivers should not have that level of surveillance forced on them! Bad move by Prime!
