GPS = tracking device.
Been going on at 326 for quite awhile.... also they can find you using the GPS.. and speed limit is being recorded had a driver doing 45 in 35 called in office. Had a incident where driver on a hill at a stop sign didn't completely stop got called in office. Just saying they are using this camera/GPS to what they aren't to use it for so just be where you say you are and cross your I and dot your t's......
Interesting, good post.
Any of the white tractors are GPS enabled.
Don't think the road units have cameras, just the cross the line whistle and following to close whistle. Don't believe they have cams yet but the newest truck I see I will ck out.
I believe if a driver is safe and has good driving habits this is a good thing. It can protect the driver and now days truck drivers need all the help he can get...
What I was told and being used for are far a part. Was told for insurance purposes if in an accident then they have video long story short. But we have had some firings here at 326 evolving these cams. So again make sure you are and was where you were.
They are firing people here at 326 Lehigh valley over these things. It's not a fairytale it's actually happening they are locating drivers by GPS and following them.
Our number 1 p&d drivers was actually fired this year with these things and being followed, and yes he's got his job back. But it's the mentally they have right now and it's going to continue. They are a bunch of cowards and with everything we have done to help to be here today seems to **** them off.
They make you think about what you r doing at all times. Cuts out tail gating, hold your unit straight as possible, etc
True brother at best aren't you.....GPS ???? so does this mean they will know when the "clock-milkmen" are napping or shopping ??? if so this is a good thing ,as they need to get a handle on the "clock-milkers" !!!!
here's what I was told by a driver that was in a 2 day meeting at company HQ this week.....video is only captured and sent to safety trainers when there is a collision, hard braking, excessive speed, lane departures without a turn signal or following too close for a period of time. (there were a couple of other things he mentioned that I can't recall) Only the safety trainers will be coaching drivers and there will be no disciplinary action taken as a result of videos captured. He's a 20 year driver and said this is a good program that will reduce our accidents. there will not be a camera facing the driver, only the road ahead.
Will also make you aware of lazy, unsafe, driving habits that we develop sometimes . That we are unwary of.
