They put AI in my truck, I have decided to slow down ALOT, they have to pay me more. I also bend the wires several times a day in the same position. Only thing I can do unfortunately.

    For those unfamiliar with trucker slang: ´bending the wire´ means masturbating while driving, as the elevated position makes it appear as if you´re bending wires under the steering wheel.

    You should keep your own records so you can confirm or refute any claims made by your company. There are loads of apps that will store your trips on your device (no cloud rubbish).

        Right, but where is that record kept? Who keeps it? Who can change it?

        Keep your own records independently of the company. Include when events happen and when you record/write them. Place them somewhere separately that you have limited access to, so no one can claim you made them up later.

        Track your trip time. Track your gas. Track the decisions you make (example: fill up now vs later) and why you made them. Track inspections and their results. I’m sure there’s more you can track, but I’m not a trucker. You know better than I do

        Maybe you’re already doing this, but I couldn’t tell from your comment.

        AI is often wrong. Sensors often get bad readings. It may falsely record bad behavior, so you need your own records to combat it.

            well you should start to care quick, because they’ll start faking your stats, and if you can’t refute it you’re fucked.

            old school? then track these in a notebook. but besides that, track recordings on your phone, with an app like OsmAnd, can’t hurt.

        I’m talking about recording your trips using your phone and GPS. That way if your company say you were travelling 32kmph over the speed limit at 09:45 on July 15th 2025, you can confirm or refute their claim. I doubt the company is going to provide you with the GPS tracks along with their claim so you’ll need your own.

    So is this thing like a progressive snapshot with a speaker on it that tells you that you are braking/accelerating at a rate it doesn’t find safe. (Light turns red and you stop to quickly crap?)

      Its a live camera they can log into anytime, it has a speaker and says “speeding violation, stop sign violation”. They can set it up to email them when certain limits are passed and I believe they can adjust the limits. I just blare it out with music.

        jack off in front of camera.

        maintain eye contact.

        assert dominance.

        depending on the state you’re in and your contract they might not be able to record you without your permission.
