This isn't an untrue statement. I had my Windshield busted by a passing truck, safety called me and asked what time it happened, I told him, and the next morning I get a call from my RDA and he wanted to talk. Pulled out his laptop and showed me video from where I had picked up my phone and was scrolling thru my contacts to call Central, showed it sitting in my lap, and showed it again when I ended the call and moved it to the dash.
Were you still driving? Or parked trying to get help? If parked, are you saying it is a violation of company policy to use a cell phone inside the cab of the truck? von.This isn't an untrue statement.

That sucks. My last working day before I retired was 7-15-2015. Later that year they started to put in the on board recorders. Guess I was lucky to get out when I did.Von,
What I'm trying to say is that the camera sits far enough back to get the glare off the windshield if the phone is in your hand or lap and is lit up. The camera is on constant record and an event doesn't have to be triggered for them to watch it.
This is true. A road driver out of EBO was investigated for the reflection of a device. It was caught by safety while reviewing an event that was recorded. He ended up being terminated for "lying" during the investigation.

Perhaps, but the consequences are different. Had he told the truth, he would've probably gotten a corrective action...a coaching session or even a write up...but lying will get you terminated every time.I guess they had him either way...

This goes back to the ole saying, the company doesn't fire anybody, people fire themselves.

Just look at the truck accident threads on TB, and after reading the article on each crash, you can pretty well see, a lot of these are caused by doing something else while driving...Well, ya can't really blame the company for this one. If your gonna play with fire, ya better expect to be burned. This thread has been an eye opener for sure and appreciate the OP for starting this thread
Now I understand why Sheriff Taylor never let you play with a gun....If your camera is mounted in front of the sun visor, why not just pull it down behind it.
