I would get another job. During your exit interview, make sure they know this is the sole reason you are leaving.
its trucking they dont care (:
There’s an oversupply of ununionized trucker labor, so they’ll likely just replace you until union strikes cause a labor shortage.
They don’t care until they don’t have any truckers. Then they care.
If its a big company like old dominion, they likely wont give a fuck ever, but my company always has trouble keeping hold of truckers and they really do give a shit about the churn.
It’s trucking, you should stop dismissing a union
The lady has sung.
I know people at a freightline company. They have retirement parties for 25-year workers about 2-3 times a year that I hear about.
There are good trucking outfits out there. you Canadian?
D’ya wanna be?
D’ya wanna be?
Don’t threaten me with a good time.
Lol why don’t you touch some grass?
Quit. Let them know why you quit. You are a truck driver and can get another job within a week.
Are you paid by the hour or per delivery? If by hour, malicious complaince. Stay 5mph below speed limit because you don’t want to be flagged. AI doesn’t recognize the street as such? Take a long detour, it didn’t allow me to take that route. It complains about overtaking? Never overtake ever again someone was to close to the truck when you tried to back in? Never back in again unless the premises is completely clear of people. Oh and find a better employer. An employer that doesn’t trusts its employees is never worth it.
It’s usually per mile if its long haul, which is the root of all the problems because that incentivizes the driver to go faster and spend less time on other things. And it fucks the driver over because they don’t get paid if they’re not moving, even if they’re waiting on someone else.
you could blow up solera’s HQ. that would definitely make them consider the cost/benefit
Typical of the practicality and savvy of the answers given in this thread
Meta: Why aren’t the bans showing up in the modlog?
What bans?
Who are you trying to ban?
Could try a wifi cell jammer. Ai don’t do shit without internet
Until he drops off the truck at the office and it uploads everything at once.
That’s going to be incredibly illegal to use outdoors. Make sure you know what the regulations are before engaging in any kind of jamming, you might block someone else’s emergency transmissions.
better to find the antenna and short it out. jammers are at best illegal and at worst you end up leaving it on and fuck up someone’s 911 call.
Probably true, couldn’t think of another solution that doesn’t damage the vehicle
Try to find the fuse which powers the device.
You’re looking for anything related to radio or telemetry.
Push the fuse back in when you’re done working for the day.
If they ask what was wrong, pretend you don’t know what they mean. It’s not your truck. Maybe they should have their technician look into it, everything seemed fine on your end.
This works until they swap his truck so he can keep working while it goes back into the shop.
Line up a new job. Then get in the passenger side of the truck and let the AI drive today.
Then enjoy your new job knowing you made the world a better place.
This is the reason Unions exist.
Individually you have no power. As a group you do have power to force them to revoke these decisions.
Your choice is joining a Union or not.
Another comment said unions aren’t interested in getting rid of this.
Not my experience.
In my job they are trying to do something similar (AI driven productivity control) and unions are fighting against it.
Ok, but what can OP do now? I support joining a union. But if there is none, then forming one takes time.
Is there anything that OP can do now? Quit, maybe?
Quit and work on a jobsite somewhere with a motley crew of blue collar misfits?
Pretty much it. Unless there’s an infringement of labor law. I don’t know where they work or much about other countries labor laws.
They would probably need to hire a lawyer in this case. Unions usually also help in these cases.
Also of you try to get your peers to unionize they “find a reason” to fire you for something totally unrelated
That’s why you vandalize the bathrooms at your workplace (in OP’s case, it’d be the “distribution center”) with pro-union messages 😏
You can of course quit now, but that will mean you’re job hunting while unemployed, which is a far worse scenario. You can also just put up with it, but it sounds like that’s a shit scenario too.
So the best course of action you can immediately take right now is go window shopping for a new job until you find something you like. Whether it comes by this week or six months from now, you have the luxury of having nothing to lose here and you have the best hand.
Even look at getting a new certification if you feel like it and if you can—ball’s in your court. Every time that little bastard undermines you, let it be the fuel that’s encouraging you off to greener pastures. Explain that in your exit interview, and remark on how they’ve come up with an interesting employee retention strategy.
You seem kinda despairing and dismissive of the obvious answer… talking to your union.
You have no power over your employer, but your union does.
Additionally, and this is kinda wild but, have you spoken to your supervisor? What did they say? Did you explain what it is about it that’s so annoying?
I’ve worked as a consultant for companies that use this type of thing and most disable the verbal warnings and stuff because they’re not helpful in any way.
Not all of us have Unions… Just saying
Sure ok.
IDK how things roll in the US. In Australia I think most jobs can find a Union.
Even if you don’t formally unionise, talking and negotiation is the way to resolve this. If all the drivers express their misgivings to their supervisor in unison they’re likely to be heard.
In the US the manager is likely to tell them all to pound sand if they dont like it. We have very few workers rights here sadly. You are correct that being in a Union would be much better. I wish we had more of that here, but a lot of people believe the BS that they get fed from thier corporate overloards that Unions are bad.
Do you know what kind of sensors it relies on to observe its surroundings?
It’s probably more than just this, but if anything audio related, you could try to come up with a poisonify device to fuck with it.
Might be more trouble than it’s worth if you’re not tech savvy, wish there was more stuff like this I could recommend.
Poison multiple people’s trucks at the same time and not yours in the first wave certainly
Messing with company property is the fast track to getting fired.
100% it’ll show up on record either IT or management will see the red flag reported by the vendor of the software
Yeah, talk to your union about this.
