For those unfamiliar with trucker slang: ´bending the wire´ means masturbating while driving, as the elevated position makes it appear as if you´re bending wires under the steering wheel.

Fuck yea man i do it in traffic, but that's not what i mean.
You should keep your own records so you can confirm or refute any claims made by your company. There are loads of apps that will store your trips on your device (no cloud rubbish).
My record speaks for itself. Spotless!
Right, but where is that record kept? Who keeps it? Who can change it?
Keep your own records independently of the company. Include when events happen and when you record/write them. Place them somewhere separately that you have limited access to, so no one can claim you made them up later.
Track your trip time. Track your gas. Track the decisions you make (example: fill up now vs later) and why you made them. Track inspections and their results. I'm sure there's more you can track, but I'm not a trucker. You know better than I do
Maybe you're already doing this, but I couldn't tell from your comment.
AI is often wrong. Sensors often get bad readings. It may falsely record bad behavior, so you need your own records to combat it.
Man I'm old school, IDGAF! Ai dosnt have a license to drive truck and make decisions.
well you should start to care quick, because they'll start faking your stats, and if you can't refute it you're fucked.
old school? then track these in a notebook. but besides that, track recordings on your phone, with an app like OsmAnd, can't hurt.
Neither do waymo or Tesla cars, but here we are.
I'm talking about recording your trips using your phone and GPS. That way if your company say you were travelling 32kmph over the speed limit at 09:45 on July 15th 2025, you can confirm or refute their claim. I doubt the company is going to provide you with the GPS tracks along with their claim so you'll need your own.
I may get fired but I'll keep you updated.

What do you mean, they put AI in your truck?
I hope things work out though.
Why do you slow down alot? Let alot run free!
My only way to protest.
The poor alot… Alots are noble creatures that should not be slowed down!
I makes spreadsheets scream :)
This shitpost is bad and you should feel bad.
So is this thing like a progressive snapshot with a speaker on it that tells you that you are braking/accelerating at a rate it doesn't find safe. (Light turns red and you stop to quickly crap?)
Its a live camera they can log into anytime, it has a speaker and says "speeding violation, stop sign violation". They can set it up to email them when certain limits are passed and I believe they can adjust the limits. I just blare it out with music.
can i resist the AI?
none of us can. we don't control the world.
Just run a grounded Faraday cage around your cab?
I was thinking of wire screening over antenna but how does the software work just uploads later? Also they can see what i do on camera :)
jack off in front of camera.
maintain eye contact.
assert dominance.
depending on the state you're in and your contract they might not be able to record you without your permission.
