None taken '95.' Please do not be offended when I tell you that you are completely wrong, unfortunately.

I am too RR9501. I was thinking about posting it when it gets here so that everyone could see what a DAC looks like. I'm expecting it anytime.

The industry is evolving quickly, kicked square in the nuts by high fuel prices and an economy in recession. They days of carriers, local or OTR, small or large, being able to tolerate inefficiency, wastefulness and carelessness are over.

Such invasive, active monitoring devices are touted to ensure compliance and efficiency and as a defensive tool in lawsuits/litigation. We'll see huh?

yea, well if my DAC report's not as embarrassing as i think its gonna be..lol...perhaps i'll post it here too, i think we should get permission for GMAN first tho..lol
but yea, it was bad enuff when they put those qual-comms in our trucks, as if they dont have enuff of an elctronic leash on us?...lol...
yea, just unplug them or put a coffee cann over the white domes on the roof...lol...but now they have video-spy on our in-cab??...i think its demeaning..and im truly apauled they would try and pull a stunt like that....

I agree and if the EOBR's work like the airplane cockpit recorder then I'm for it cause it'll help the reconstruction team determine what the driver's actions was before the crash to help determine who was at fault.
