The boss may fit some,and not say which cabs will have them,the idea is to catch out drivers texting and smoking while driving.
Will they see you asleep in the privacy of the sleeper cab,somebody said,they will activate when there is movement of the vehicle,and not record the nocturnal activities,imagine if you pulled a bird for the night,would make a great movie for them to laugh over in the office.
Split curtains will be drawn over for me.
This has been talked about before on here, and that would be the final of a LOT of straws on the camel’s back for me to finally jack the job in, why are we just expected to take all this type of crap and just lie down and accept it?..Answer= Because we just do, first it was cab phones to check up on you, then trackers, now this sh 
. No doubt we will get the brainwashed of those among us pointing out the benefits of knowing just what the driver is doing while driving for insurance and H&S REASONS 
yeh right!.. and repeating the BS fed to them by their “Logistical manpower supervisory monitor manager” or whatever, but at the end of the day it’s another nail in the coffin for what was once a good job. (Christ I’m getting a moaning grumpy old ■■■■

I think most drivers would be sectioned with the things that go on behind the wheel!! Especially when trying to stay awake 
I couldnt have trhat watching me,it would definately put me of my

Yup have to agree it would be the end for me. That would be too much of an intrusion into what is my living space.
just another item for the police/vosa too seize and look at it and then use it against you when they see you eating that pie you bought, drinking that can you got, picking your nose, scratching your ear, being on the phone, not wearing your seatbelt, swearing about the boss etc etc etc.

I’m pretty sure that, small as they are, you would notice a camera.
I’ve always got a roll of gaffa tape in my tool kit. Saying no more.

Same as that, I can’t stand this relentless increase in monitoring, and one of the reasons I put up with all of the aggro that goes with being an OD. I went into this job in the first place because it was the type of job where you didn’t have to account for every minute of your working day, raise your hand and ask if you needed to go to the toilet etc.
I know we old ■■■■■ are known for saying “Eeee, t’were better in the old days” but it honestly was. I used to phone my boss from a call box in Italy and say “Right, I’m loaded, I’ll call you when I get to Dover” and that would be the last he heard of me, or I heard of him, for two days.
I am not such a old ■■■■ but ten years ago when I got my first class 1 job it was a lot of fun, and fun learning on the job from mistakes. Now I hate the the job for all of the monitoring, company rules and bull ■■■. A camera in the cab looking at my every move would not be a very nice thing to see.

They wouldn’t LEGALLY be able to do it anyway! I remember before mobiles twenty odd years ago, a pile of ten piece pieces ( not sandwiches you jocks ) and trying to find a phone box for your backload home! IN THIS COUNTRY! Never mind abroad! 
There were plenty of phone boxes in Italy, you used to have to feed them with these…

Old five pence pieces, same size as old DeutschMarks! Polizei no sense of humour though as squaddies raped it in the eighties!

Ha ha Twenty ■■■■ for 20p
Yes, what a marvel this little thing was…
Worth 5p in England, worth 50p in any German vending machine. I worked my way through bag-fulls back in the day.

Even the polizei used to smile, NOT the clowns from S.I.B. ( Rmp )
I remember that even the tiniest little German village would have a cigarette machine. I used to stop at them all. I could empty a cigarette machine out for two or three pounds, depending on how full it was.

HAPPY DAYS! then the wall came down! Commie barstewards! and that was the end of the BRITISH HAULAGE INDUSTRY HARRY!

Yes, all completely true, it was the end of Communism that killed off the British haulage industry, at least as far as continental work is concerned.
Of course, we have Mr Ronald Reagan and Mrs Margaret Thatcher to thank for that, tireless fighters for the right of eastern Europeans to be able to travel to western Europe. And undercut our wages by 66%.
Thanks Maggie!
