Rolling over railroad tracks.

OP, YOU DID RIGHT.

 

It did alert because of an incident. The camera saw he didn’t stop at a stop sign. But the camera doesn’t know he did the correct thing by stopping before the tracks and making sure it was clear before he went because nobody can teach a camera common sense.

 

There's an intersection just like that where I live. Barely enough room to fit 2 cars between the crossing and the stop sign. All day long trucks stop before the crossing and then pull straight out into traffic. That's the right way to do it IMO. You can't apply car logic to something 70'+ long.

 

A company that fires a driver for that was going to fire him for something, no matter what. That's a tough break.

 

Company is in the wrong on this one. Would be like firing a driver for crossing over a solid line in a turn lane to make a right turn safely. Sometimes in the name of safety, you have to bend traffic laws a tad.

Future companies won't give you much grief over it.

 

Please name the company.

 

But I would also add...

If you have clear view with enough distance on both sides, it is perfectly safe to stop at the stop sign (even straddling the tracks) and then proceed through.

 

I'm afraid of what I would do to that company's equipment every time I saw a trailer at a DC.....put a termination on my HireRight for that.

 

Shake it off -- move on -- find another job....
