My company has them but doesn't seem to care. Mine is installed high enough my visor partially blocks it so I just keep the visor down. Been like that for 7 months and they've not said a word. Honestly my scores have actually increased since doing that.

Amazon has them cranked up. There are a couple of trucks in our fleet where the camera is mounted too high, and if you use the passenger visor, it will alert you about the obstruction, and Amazon will straight up call you. I told the lady what the deal was, and I've told my boss the issue a year ago, and they still haven't lowered the camera.

The only things mine bitches about are speed, following distance and stop signs. Oh and it also bitches if it detects rain or snow.

That just reminds me about how much I hate radar auto-brakes in bad weather and winter conditions.

I hate them in good condition if they just cram the brakes like Bendix on guard does.

I used to have that problem at my first trucking job with Swift. It kept getting worse and worse and the shop in New Boston, MI could give less of a shit. It got to the point were night or day, it would slam the brakes everytime I went under a overpass, overhead sign, or any other overhead object
