i was in a small accident in December have dash cam video showing not my fault... well I get notified today it’s being held as my fault with the company I work for... they say in the video they see me using my cell phone in reflection of window which is bull! What they see is reflection of my dash cam.... I can see what they see and it looks like a cell on the dash of the truck but later in the video if you go frame by frame u will see me with my phone taking photos and also see what they called my cell in the reflection... they told me it was my final write up which I have never had a write up! So how can it be my final?? They also said I couldn’t dispute it because they didn’t have that available for their drivers anymore... I am on probation for a year for something that wasn’t my fault! So now if they find something to let me go it will be on my record and no one else will hire me! I have 23+ years of driving with no accidents in the last 15! Now this what should I do? If I lawyer up I prob will be fired. I can show the video but it has to be watched on a computer to see it doesn’t show on a phone

Quit and get a real job that doesn’t have driver facing cameras. if they burn your dac when u quit then you can dispute it.. if the police report doesn’t have it as your fault then screw em..

They are desperate for drivers so not trying to replace me they have people quitting left and right.... but seriously thinking of hiring lawyer to get it removed do not like a tarnish on my record esp since I have proof it wasn’t my fault even accident report states not my fault

Seriously don't bother hiring a lawyer and waste your money. It sounds like an in house company bs "write up".
Personally I'd just tell them to pound sand. Keep the footage and get a record from your phone carrier should your next job question it.supertruck#1 Thanks this. -
If it were me (I have a set of balls) I’d park the friggin truck wherever it sits and be on my way home.

I've actually been assigned a mediator because I don't take any crap from the boss.
Actually I just gave a "when I get back to Detroit I'm quitting" because their new JJ Keller Aobrd is a nightmare.HotH2o Thanks this. -
Although I agree with your frustration, I don’t see how it should affect your earnings. It might as well be “double secret probation “. You’re not really being punished or fired. Good luck.
