(we have driver facing cameras and a no smoking/vaping in truck policy)
Legally it's still allowed, I thought I wouldn't have trouble but I find myself having to pull over for a vape break every 3-4 hours. Boss is fine with it but still I hate having to pull over. Tried nicotine gum/patches/suckers but they just make me sick and don't scratch the itch.
Don't really want to find another job but if I can't get used to this I think I might searching for a new job.
P.s is inside facing cameras also common in hazmat?
Is no vaping in hazmat jobs common?

Your going to stop that often anyway. Drive 3-4 hours your going to stop for a bathroom break. (Unless you dont drink anything) Another 3-4 hours and you have to take your 30. 3-4 hours later another bathroom break or your out of drive time. And your going to have deliverys, breakdowns and unforeseen stops. Where you can take a few minutes and vape. Its not always going to be like that I'm just saying your going to have to stop a few times a day anyway.
If you just don't want to deal with the camera/policy. There isnt anything wrong with that either. The TTR is a great resource to find a different company. -
No job pays enough to have a company watch me at the click of a button.

Some companies have a no tobacco/nicotine policy.
Vaping requires a ‘electronic flame’ to make the vapor, thats why many hazmat employers ban vaping.RockinChair, Bean Jr. and tscottme Thank this. -
It's for your own good, because you're not to be trusted on your own, for a pre-determined unknown amount of time.
Inside facing cams are common in Pedal Deliveries. -
Sitting for long periods of time is horrible for your body. My dad died from a stroke, sitting all day was part of the problem. And i drink a gallon of water every day. Drive for a few hours get out go to the bathroom and move around a little. Take my 30 when Im switching my trailers. Then stop once on the way home.
But you do you.alds, mustang190 and Bean Jr. Thank this.
