I just do my job the same way as I did before telematics

I don't need to cheat telematics, when it cheats itself and it's owners every day.

It is amazing how ignorant, paranoid people can get. Yeah, we get it. People are watching. That's kind of the definition of the whole telematics scheme. Maybe I missed something during the telematics posts, but I never saw anything about cheating telematics. Someone needs to go back to nanny school.
Yup, hope he held up the website:

Also check out the sub-forum where you can submit your own tips.
Anyone who CAN'T figure out how to cheat it without a forum is not exactly a genius.
IF you choose to bypass the system, it's pretty easily done. But, with the way I've heard of people being followed and suspended/fired, there's not a chance in hell I would try to be shady.

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
In what way can we "cheat" it that would be a fireable offense?
Only thing I know how to do is show up less on the backing report. They can't fire you for backing anyway so what's it matter.

They are talking about tampering with the equipment which will most definitely get you fired.

Using a magnet on the door sensor and being able to leave the bulkhead open all the time. In the beginning we had a couple drivers just click their seat belt in when they left in the morning and then just sat on it all day without every actually putting it on. Yeah, that shows up.
A buddy of mine gets upset because my average backing speed is the highest in the center and I also have one of the biggest trucks. He's in a P7 and can't catch up to me. Ha ha ha. Thursday I averaged over 6 mph.
My center manager is not famous for specifics, but she did mention something about magnets and contacts. She also said something about a lawsuit and being required to address recording while traveling, also mentioned cameras in package cars being used in GA. We've had telematics since June of 2012 and they are just now starting to mention the reports.

Its a lot less stressful if you just ignore it like I do.
When they first installed it, they generated paper printouts with Google Earth satellite photos showing the exact location where every "offense" occured. On a center that sends out 60+routes a day, the sheer volume of paper became overwhelming. They were literally going thru reams of copy paper and dozens of printer ink cartridges a week, and the reports were creating a huge mess of paper blowing around everywhere like confetti. That stupidity eventually ended. Now, they will occasionally approach a driver about Telematics, but they havent spoken to me about it in over a year and I am a chronic offender when it comes to recording while idling, backing etc.

Yup, they waste paper and ink and such which equals money but then they want us to pay for benefits and take less of a raise. GENIUS!!!

I still have the highest. 202 mph for a distance of .54 of a mile. It's a long story!!

I would have loved to have been in the room when your center manager read that report.
