Seems that way. But it’s still all fairly up in the air as to what exactly is happening and when.
Also another point to note is DHL seem to be using driver facing cameras these days in at least a lot of their newer trucks. A deal breaker for many regarding driving a truck. They didn’t have them in the 69 plate Volvo’s when I was there, but I’m sure at some point they will all get replaced or be replaced for driver facing.

Not that I’m looking for a different job but at least if I was I’d know to not bother with DHL now, cheers.

Someone driving for them on here fairly recently said he got the keys to new Volvo with the Ltyx drivecam system which includes a driver facing camera.
So I guess in DHL fashion all new trucks will have them, as older FFC’s break they would also likely get replaced with the new Lytx ones if defected or found to be not working.

Also I would never work for a company with cameras inside the cab. Same with working in a office. Yea, in an office environment a single camera monitors like 50+ people. But its not like each worker has a camera on their desk.
Just a little update I am a hypocrite.
I am booked for DHL for 2 weeks. first two days in a rental Mercedes Actros. Perfectly fine lol. so on the 2nd day agency asked if I wanted to be booked in next week as well. So I said sure.
3rd day! I get given the keys to a lovely Volvo 20 plate fully specd FH. (By far the best driving truck I have ever drove)
And it has a driver facing camera lol.
I will probably stick it out for the two weeks because I said I would do it and the job is really good. But prob wont be sticking around.
It’s funny, I spoke to some of the other drivers and they did not see it as an issue. Coming out with the same old tripe. “Well, if you got nothing to hide you have nothing to worry about”

Fingers crossed but nothing surprises me with DHL these days tbh.
Yours is a closed book contract then?

Should be a closed book contract then, that’s when the customer dictates just about everything including vehicles and stuff from what I remember. Open book has more freedom on vehicles and other work you can do etc.

Where is the camera. I’ve driven them yellow Volvos on the very odd occasion but never noticed any cameras.

If it has the Lytx camera system it will look like that I believe. 
That post was by adam277 on here who said he had a new Volvo with it fitted.
