J&R Schugel New Ulm, MN

Why are you sitting at Matlack in Columbus?? Lol did they close the Tavern on the corner?

 

My man an o/o is in NEW ULM at the terminal getting his camera installed ugh..he told them he was going to put tape on the one facing inwards,,he talked to another driver that drove for schugel inc that company was bought by someone else so the guy was there to drive for jr schugel now.he told my man that he does not have to have to have a cam in his truck..dont know if thats true but...... humm

 

Putting a camera in a O/O? Uhhm NOPE

 

yup they are putting it in if hes not allowed to tape the in facing lens..he said hes moving on,,,he like this company,,but does not want his privacy invaded in his house ..he stays out 5 to 6 weeks at a time,,,that truck is his home

 

The camera may always be recording, but the camera only saves recordings when there is a critical event. It saves 8 seconds before the event, and 4 seconds after the event. And I know it's not saving all the recordings, I've had one in my truck for a few weeks and I've kept the sun visor over it for a couple days, I've been flipping it off and sticking my tongue at it, etc. (yes I know, I'm so mature) and no ones called me to say "hey move the sun visor, we can't see you"... I seriously forget the dang thing is there most of the time. It's not designed to spy on the driver, it's designed to capture an accident that may or may not have been caused by a car. And if you're a safe driver like I am, you will have nothing to worry about.

 

The camera is located in middle of windshield so no way to cover it with visor...and how does it know to theres going to be a critical event and come on 8 secs before....if theres a accident its outside,,unless its in your drawers.........

 

The camera is always recording, but it deletes the footage at the end of the night to save room for the next day or footage. When the critical event happens (I.e. Braking too hard, taking a turn too fast, per se) it saves the footage of right before the critical event to see what caused it.

Here is a video demonstrating how the camera operates. The truck driver was at fault here due to his negligence. Notice below the outbound screen, there is a timer that displays how long the footage is. Eight seconds before the accident, 4 seconds after the accident.
