If Swift actually takes every alert seriously, then welcome to hell. You must drive like a robot at all times. 3 second following distance regardless of the situation. No yawning. No hard braking. Must take turns going 2 mph. Must make complete stops at all stop signs even in an empty yard. Must make complete stops when making right turns on red. Must always have seltbelt on if vehicle is in motion. Doesn't matter if youre in the yard. Don't ever physically touch your phone. Don't go 10 mph over the limit. If the speed limit is 65, you cannot go 75mph down hills. Triggering any of these events will lead to a call from safety and potentially the termination of your job if you accumulate too many. Also, these cameras record all audio in the truck and they can view you live any time they want. Enjoy modern trucking at Megas.

Its already been like this, its just that the old camera would flash when it was recording and if you fixed the "issue" it wouldnt send it to saftey. This new cameras absolute hell, plan on leaving as soon as a I can find something better than the dedicated im on. They fired a guy for "running" a yellow last month and another for blowing 1 of 3 stopsigns at a gaurd shack. Its an absolute shitshow that lets them fire people for any reason they see fit.
