    Stick a chewing gum on the thing’s speaker and start singing songs with very dirty and explicit lyrics, like gangsta rap and Bloodhound Gang.
    All day long, everyday.
    Persuade your colleagues to do the same.
    They will have an endless string of report notifications they can’t do shit about.
    Fight smart.

    Edit: still the best thing to do is unionize as many others already suggested, but fighting on more than one front is a good tactic, wars are won by exhausting your opponent.

    “You forgot your wife’s birthday again. Why can’t you be more like your cousin Jeffery? You need to lose weight.”

    “Shut up!!”

    Do you have to violate laws/regulations laws to meet schedules? Perhaps malicious compliance and adhere to all laws. As some have said, a union could help. If you don’t have to violate laws/regulations to meet schedule, perhaps consider adhering to laws/regulations.

    No. If you want privacy, transportation is the wrong career. Trains are much the same.

    Are you paid by the hour or per delivery? If by hour, malicious compliance. 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.

    Your options (pick any combination you please):

    • do whatever you can do to make it more bearable in the short term (turn down volume of AI warnings, whatever else you can configure)
    • Unionize
    • Bargain with your company/Negotiate your contracts
    • Get hired by a new company that gives a shit about their employees
    • Become an owner-operator
    • start a trucking firm with a bunch of other drivers that are fed up with that bullshit
    • Find a different kind of job that doesn’t require AI to surveil and harass you.

      Those are good options but I get paid 32.75 per hour during the week and 40.75 on weekends and its a pretty cushy job. Hard to just get new job.

        When i was fed up with the bosses in my cushy job, I made the job more cushy by starting my independent company. Same work, more money, no assholes treating me like shit and i learned from that. Now my colleges also have a cushy job, with a competent, nice boss.

        They probably know that it’s a cushy job amd want to replace you with someone who will work for less.

        Why is organizing not an option? Seems like you’ve ignored every reply here regarding unions, when in reality it’s the only possible way to ever get rid of the AI (and probably get you better pay and benefits)

    Quit. Let them know why you quit. You are a truck driver and can get another job within a week.

    Hi. 3F Copenhagen member here. I believe the scaffolders club are organising something over a similar situation that is, however, less intrusive than yours. Your situation is like a horror story version of what the scaffolders are getting (GPS tracking, logging of their company vehicles. They don’t have AI… Yet…).

    Do you have a union you can turn to?

    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.
