So far here it’s been both, although I have not seen any discipline. And far and away, the outward facing camera has proven our drivers to be in the right most of the time. The inward-facing sensor is a joke, and no one even talks about it anymore.
....until am ORS, center manager or DM decide they have an "affection" for a certain driver?
Just like telematics.
I don’t know what that affection could do any more than looking at telematics. If you can’t be fired by using surveillance, unless you’re being dishonest, the same applies here. It’s just another tool for management pinpoint people to follow in person. Although now I would say they have so much information. They don’t even know what to do with it so it’s mostly ignored.
Trouble is, everyone knows the suit monkey that views their sole mission in life as being the one to get drivers fired. They will zero in on one particular driver, monitoring all day.
So......
Neither does the inward-facing sensor. There is no video being recorded by it. It is only monitoring where your eyes are looking and just gives general information about what’s going on such as distracted, driving following distance to close or seatbelt. I’ve heard rumors that there is a camera that can be turned on but the company does not use that.
Is that what you were told?We recently had an accident, where we would normally get to see the information on video from the outward camera, but it was not recorded, and could not be pulled up
It’s not just what I told, but I’ve been involved in every single usage of the devices, both front facing camera and inward sensor. There is no conspiracy. Management receives general information about distractions but they have no idea what you’re actually doing. I’m still not a fan of the eye monitoring sensor, and would welcome it being removed, but it has been a non-problem so far. We’ve had them for at least a year now. And I’m not sure what you’re talking about with the employee parking lot. Here they are actual cameras recording just about everything everywhere in the parking lot.
My concern is something I've seen in the past. Driver gets into accident. DM pulls lytx video and notices the driver didn't count a full 3 seconds before going. Driver gets fire for reckless driving resulting in a serious accident.
Why don’t you run along and playI'll sue UPS when I get hit by "I Gotta a Package for you" when his package car bumps into my car while delivering my packages.
Yep just like they tried to sell telematics as a way to keep track of maintenance on vehicles LOL
Isn't it the purpose of digitizing maintenance records/process so that people don't have to use pen and paper anymore? How's about those airplanes at Delta, Southwest, and such? We can only be ancient for so long.
