Caught on cam using phone at zero tolerance company

The Schneider cameras don't record audio at all, either inside or outside. They're also flush mounted against the windshield and have a good bit of plastic housing surrounding them. I'd be surprised if you get much, if any, reflection in them. Edit: At least the cameras in the older trucks are flush mounted. The 2020 and newer trucks may actually have a gap between the camera and the windshield that could show reflections.

 

If the engine is turned on you can be sure the camera will also be recording.
Heck, it could be recording 24/7 in a quiet mode that shows no lights.

That Schneider site said they had 5 days of video on a loop, and that is some serious storage capacity.
"The camera has a DVR with a loop of about five days of operation, which benefits drivers as described more below."

Someone posted that they were busted for being seen coming back from a shower while logged as sleeper.
So that camera was on while they were out of the truck, and the truck probably not running.

 

That wasn't the main step you missed.
You didn't walk your hoses. Every fuel driver has hooked up to the wrong tank, either the truck or the ground tank. The only difference is they walked thier hoses and caught thier mistake. Always walk your hoses. Hopefully they need drivers bad enough to keep you on. On the positive side, now that you know you can make that mistake, your less likely to repeat it. Just don't let it mess with your head.

 

Outward facing cameras protect the driver and company while removing liability fro bad drivers. It's not surprising a company will prefer that to a driver facing cam.

Sure you might get a reflection now and again, but that's not the intent of the camera. And a camera doesn't have to record any sound, and cots driving cameras don't.

 

It may be a good idea to call your supervisor and admit what you did up front before they have a chance to see it. This way you have someone you can be accountable to, and not do it again.

 

What's the word since the meeting with management?

 

Wow what a great company, fabulous. Take the other offers and never look back.

 

Thanks for letting us know. Good luck with your new job.
