Company Cameras In Trucks
Topic 31495 | Page 1
Some truckers install their own, but they should be off while I sleep and when I awake. They should only be on when I begin driving.
Agreed, to a point. Cover it, or just close the curtains to the sleeper berth while you are in it!!
Who did you sign on with, btw? Saw your comment in the ladies section . . .

Sleeper Berth:
The portion of the tractor behind the seats which acts as the "living space" for the driver. It generally contains a bed (or bunk beds), cabinets, lights, temperature control knobs, and 12 volt plugs for power.
Something has to trigger the camera for it to save the recording, usually following too close, hard brake event something along those lines.
It would cost the company too much money in data storage to save 24 hours of footage.
HOS:
Hours Of Service
HOS refers to the logbook hours of service regulations.OWI:
Operating While Intoxicated

Not exactly. Companies have every reason to want to know what you are doing in their truck while on duty. Well, they may want to know more, but now it is your right to cover it as soon as you are off duty or in a sleeper.
I was told at orientation us OTR guys, cameras facing IN will NEVER be turned on.... Well, it's never yet, and if it does within the next 6 weeks or so I'm still driving. all the gunna see is a black abyss. I put a sticky rubber thing over it, and I haven't even unfolded the curtains to the bunk. I use the wrap around curtain on the windshield lol, when I even use that,not always do.
Both my 2019 trucks at CRST either had black tape on inward cams or we put it overit, they never had an issue with that. BUT 1 time we flipped it upwards to see how long it took em to notice. It was a matter of hours, til we goit a call asking why it was that way lol we claimed oooops! its little loose, musta bumped it with the visor, and they had us fix the angle while on the cell with my co-driver
OTR:
Over The Road
OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.
OOS:
When a violation by either a driver or company is confirmed, an out-of-service order removes either the driver or the vehicle from the roadway until the violation is corrected.
