Some drivers own their trucks and contract out their delivery services, right? Do you know if cameras are often required as a term of service for independent drivers?

There are a gazillion ways to make a living (or not), driving a truck. Yep, some drivers are independent and own one or more trucks. Some "independent" drivers are more closely associated with a large employer, leasing their truck from that company. Some of those lease more than one truck. The answers to your question would be: Yes. Probably. Maybe. Maybe not. Probably not. No.

Thank you. It is evident that you are a former software developer.

The vehicles with the cameras come to your doorstep. Here's a little tongue-in-cheek thought experiment: If I place a big sign at the end of my driveway saying "By entering this property you agree to the following terms and conditions..." which then goes on to ban videocameras and lay out fixed penalties as liquidated damages, can I sue Amazon for breach of contract? How would this be any different from the ToS burie…

IANAL, but I think by making the purchase on Amazon, you are consenting to the delivery methods in order to fulfill the contract you entered with Amazon to purchase and deliver the product.

Pretty sure I didn't consent to their delivery people videotaping my front door.

Depends on your country's laws. If I go in a bus with a sign saying "everyone entering this bus owes me $500" it doesn't make it the law

Walking onto a public bus is very different from setting terms on private property

Again, it depends where you live. Being your private property doesn't grant you the rights to do whatever you want and get it enforced in a court of law
