sounds like an excuse to downsize and provide a method to do so

So glad I retired from trucking, I don’t want any part of this nonsense

Their CSA scores are good? Man they are paying off someone.

I left in November as the writing was on the wall (o/o with 3 trucks.) Many in Prime groups have the attitude 'well, if you're not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to fear.' Much like the Germans of the 30s. Very sad to see Americans tolerating this. Prime has not been direct on this issue, probably trying to head off a mass exodus until they think they are ready. The only people that will be left will be news, essentially replacing the defeated with the gullible. I had a great experience there, but won't tolerate being celebrated for safety and service for 11 years only now to have them want to be in the cab with me watching me pick my nose. More often than not this will provide plaintiffs lawyers evidence rather than clear you. It will also allow Prime and the insurance to throw drivers under the bus and disown them for violating any policy, and leaving the driver stuck with the liability. That's my humble opinion.

I find it baffling that companies can find drivers that are willing to put up with this kind of nonsense but they do but for me life is too short to work for a company whose goal is to find new and exciting ways to grip at you until you are fired or quite in frustration. This is hands down 100% proof that there is no such thing as a driver shortage.

Put tape over lens and when you drive pull it off. If they say domething about the lens being covered, you know DAMN WELL , the csmera is ALWAYS ON F";# THAT!

If this is the way the industry is going then i won’t be driving anymore, this is getting ridiculous.

Don’t drive for prime. Crete doesn’t use inward facing cameras. If a newer driver you only gotta roll with an inward facing camera for a little bit.

I am not a truck driver. But if I had a camera in the cab watching me, I would find another career.

Roger that on it right now.

He just assumed a driver was watching a video. A good excuse for spending tons on money and further lowering a drivers privacy.

Brilliant news! It’s About Time!

The company I work for uses Driveri, and it is incredibly frustrating. Our company has the inward facing camera disabled, so that is nice, but the capability is there if they ever wanted to watch us.

I helped do a demo run as a volunteer for Stevens Transport before they made it fleet wide. (Now they just have the outward capability turned on, with the inward reserved for "risky drivers" The demo run had the inward facing cameras that would recognize cellphone usage, seat belt usage, yawning, ect. Blow a stop sign for the sidewalk and it'd ding you. Now they'd review any dings and remove the inaccurate ones, but it really was annoying having someone call you over the pettiest thing. I'd purposefully trigger it just to screw with them

Aren’t they concerned the driver would be distracted watching the green and red lights? Then once they know they’re being recorded, could it interfere with their normal routine of safety? I think drivers should standup and say it’s is distraction.

I always love how they never punish the ones that do the infraction. But those who have nothing to do with it.

How about paid better cpm and stop scamming the driver with those lease trucks.

Any trucking company with cameras ,do not drive for them,

my company has had that camera for a year and we are in missouri as well...this is not 'new' technology, its just 'new' to prime

I got my license through them. I did my year to finish my contract. Quit on the exact day. Once you get your license I was treated like a veteran driver. High value load no stopping for 100 miles after loaded etc…not getting the right fuel mileage we need to turn trucks speed down. Hey dispatch my son is going to be born here in the next month do u think u can run in circles around the house Yeah sure no problem… mind u I was a day late to his birth… this is a gimmick company way back in 07-08… cannot believe people still buy into their shenanigans.. get your license finish your contract and run for your life back!!!

Companies have found the perfect liability relief! And the ones that can get away with it are going to! Bargaining Companies have agreed to contracts with no inward-cams. The best reason ever to organize!

My company uses that same thing I cover the inward camera

How about rear facing cameras in all vehicles.How about one facing front ,one back ,one at the driver .Then how about one on your head so you can be monitored to make sure you didn’t have a beer then also one while you sleep because you have to get your sleep a full 8.Of coarse this all in the name of safety.But bidding contracts so cheap you can’t afford to pay a decent wage is not unsafe,making sure your profit is growing quarter by quarter at the expense of paying a decent wage and properly training and hiring good people is not unsafe.Running a company so poorly is not unsafe.FFS.The problem is at the top The CEO is the problem.End of story.

Did you quit?

The fact of the driver is OK with it and says it makes them a better driver, is the reason why we will eventually have more driverless, technology and drugs. They are the kind of person that would probably say yeah eating bugs is OK because it’s good for the environment. This is an invasion of privacy, and an overreach in technology. Forcing drivers to have a camera in their truck, facing them as a privacy issue. What about the laws in each state? In Tennessee you can’t be reported without consent. If I don’t consent to this on paper, does that mean I have to just tolerate it because Prime is based out of Missouri but I am a Tennessee resident and work in Tennessee? it’s bullshit. Does the camera even have an outward facing camera? Or is this purely to watch the driver? It’s ridiculous. I’ll stay as long as I have to with Prime, but the second they say bring a Trucking to put a camera and I’m gone.

Why Would Anyone Drive In These Conditions?......That's alot of Pressure

This is unfortunate trucking is a career I went into to have some level of freedom and privacy to not have a manager breathing down my neck watching my every move well one of the only jobs left that has some level of freedom is getting that freedom taking away it will only get worse until they have total control of the driver they will own you

Just got my cdl. I will not work for a company with cameras.

More and more insurances are requiring cameras. I'd like to see you create your own insurance

I work for a small company with about 200 driver or so. We got inward facing cameras that talk and watch us. It's not that big of a deal. Dispatchers aren't calling our phones unless it is something agregious, and that would be rightfully so. Big deal Prine are installing inward facing cameras. Good for Prime, hold everyone accountable.

Our company has them. It has saved drivers from BS complaints by other motorists. It also can catch truck stop incidents. I've been driving with this for a couple of months now and I haven't had many issues with it. This is just another way for companies to cut down on law suits and an attempt to weed out non professional drivers.

Pandemic drivers ruined trucking

It's just more and more regulation from the mega carriers and FMSCA all the while taking more and more money from truckers. All of us truckers need to come together and have a nation wide strike before all these new AI self driving trucks start rolling out. What there gonna end up doing is saying self driving trucks are more safe than humans and they don't have to pay for robots to drive, there goes all of our jobs.

There are cameras in trucks now. I’m getting mine Monday

All inward cameras are a violation of privacy if leased on, but might not for a company driver. I can already see a lot of write ups and people being fired. The more access the company's have, the less freedom for drivers. Imagine you are driving, eyes are closing becoming drowsy you pull over to rest and miss your appointment time, now you will get talked to or written up leading to termination 😮 from the company you will now carry that record over to the next company for them to see.

I recall back in the mid 1980's, Prime was a Premier Fleet to get on with. If you Qualified. But as time went on the started accepting anyone with a Pulse.

Drove a few years for a company that had inward facing cameras. I didn't really care. But when I parked I covered it up. And although I found it extremely useful when GPS said I was over the posted speed limit. After safety reviewed the camera footage they seen the GPS in fact had the speed limit 20 mph below the posted speed limit. 1.3 mil. Of OTR. No accidents, no tickets.

Guy that rear ended me at the Peace Bridge was reading a book. A Millend driver burned to death. They saw him going other way and tried getting him on the radio. He never saw us backed up.

If you’re a lease on driver or owner operator, and you do not like this technology in your truck, you have the choice of not working for them

Owner Operator at Prime and no one truly knows if it doesn’t record when the system looks like it’s off . Any camera can still record if the light isn’t showing on. I had a camera in my house that could turn the recording light off and you’d never know it was recording . All drivers have is to take Prime word on it. There was supposedly a time when Robert Low (Owner and CEO) said there would be no driver facing cameras in the truck which I don’t know how true that is but now Prime is getting them . Hopefully it isn’t for the drivers that own their truck but we do not know yet .
