Is that what they are replacing the camera in the backing monitor speaker with

Dont know. We have had two way communication in the diad (microphone) for several diad ugrades. I'm sure that one way communication works just fine.

I've been followed so many times throughout my time there I just assume I am always being watched. If they want a camera no skin off my ass

They’ll get ten hours of me singing and picking my nose.

So, say your local threw a big shindig. And in order to take this puppy to the next level they invited a whole batch of IBT rockstars.
In between ballroom feasts, we were treated to an impressive series of rather enjoyable speeches & presentations covering vitally important Big Brown topics by passionate people who really knew their.
And the grand finale was a big open friendly roundtable all about this silly little contract of ours. Rank and file on the mic, 8 or 9 National Negotiation Committee members huddled together on a too small head table.
As always happens in these kind of forums, the beleaguered and weirdly defensive & self-congratulatory leaders were barraged by an endless stream of “my sup did this to me at my hub, my center, on car, in the office”.
Obvious solutions were easily given to obvious universal complaints. Until our table.
“Ummm, so, they are demanding 100% compliance of cradling the Diad for Map Nav...”
(blank confused stares from the head table)
“Yeah, my center, too, for about a month now. Ya know, the Turn-by-Turn. Arrows.
(a few guys gamely threw up some stunningly irrelevant advice, complete with a wildly incorrect interpretation of the problem)
“Wait, none of you guys heard of this?”
(crickets)
It was agreed that, hmmm, maybe we will call it a distraction. We will look into it, maybe.
And then—-thanks for coming, everyone!—-just like that, it was over.
We are
Wait a second...
Your local has “shindigs”?

Just another piece of technology to get creative with. Drivers are already charged automatically with any accident and have to fight their way back from communist China.
I can hear it now...
"At the point of impact you werent looking LRL when that guy ran the stop light and hit you head on although he was already dead from an overdose, or you werent checking your mirrors when blah blah blah".
No thanks. We work in an environment that eats it own young already. Let's not turn the other cheek so they can skin it.

I wasn't saying accept it, but I dont see how the original post sees this leading to replacing us in 5 years.

It's just a mind control threat. People better vote in the next general election that's all I got to say.

Judge me.
Picking your nose while driving is against ups distracted driving policy. You better pull over and shut the truck off for that now

Would create a snotty situation no doubt.

Seems like a stretch to be honest. GPS is used in tons of CMV. Doesn't help when they have stuff like this on their website also.

I was told not to get a drink of water while driving with a ORS once while he was doing a yearly ride with me

The company doesnt care about distracted driving as long as the driver runs scratch and their stock goes up. For decades we were told not to turn around in resi drives. Now its expected.
The driver is always at fault no matter what happens.
More mind control.

Just like the 30in selections shelf and 60in floor. They will still preach it but it's gone the way of the Dodo bird.
Managment is so out of touch its ridiculous. Had a interesting week involving our DM here on a production ride. It just solidified the fact they are clueless.
