ODFL | Change to phone policy with cameras

[leftie]

New video on workday, phone policy has changed from zero tolerance to one warning.
Second violation is likely termination but sounds to be open to interpretation.

Have heard they will offer to bring back those who have been fired but as hearsay goes who knows.


Didn’t take long.

They brought back the Dallas drivers who were let go. It’s true

Thanks for confirming.

Relieved to see OD being fair to those guys after changing policy again.

 

[SMOKESTACK]

Probably had no choice , there is a driver shortage .

They offered the drivers that were terminated at my terminal their jobs back. Not we'll see if they want to come back.

Absolutely

wonder which state the first lawsuit came from to get them to change

 

[swholder]

That didn't take long.

 

[Oddriverrr]

Thats nice. Now they should reconsider this weak raise we got.... and I might actually be happy here lol

 

[buckeye]

How about the strange 10$ an hour breakdown pay. And no delay pay. Just do the right thing ODFL. I keep hearing we’re way behind well why am I waiting on my trailers everyday. Sometimes you just got to say &uck it.

Well, friend drives for another company with Lytx system. Used as a dash cam to protect driver, also side lane views, nothing in cab, because Lytx has a shield options that prevents reflection. Monitor Program settings by company request. Only call in of unsafe reported maneuver is reviewed, (90+%) are bogus, driver never hears about them, not to monitor/micro manage every driver move or activity. Corporate got what they wanted. Not a good rep to get for a “driver friendly” environment. Get notices of great hire on” bonus/perks/etc from a private carrier that put an application in with 15 years ago. Until few years ago had a waiting list, took retirements, new locations, etc, to get aboard, actually carrier could pick and choose, then put in policies that monitored/micro managed every aspect, within a couple years, had retention problem of senior safe drivers, getting new hires, etc. Many of those policies are now gone, yet reputation remains.

It should have never been that way to begin with, it was a stupid move on the company end.

I’m glad that they finally figured it out.

They should fire the guy that came up with needing cameras to micro manage us. Send him back to FedEx.

 

[BumpDraft]

Slowly but surely OD is turning into Fedex freight!! Mark my word it will only get worse with the rules and policy games.

Sam Faucett retired and the sh@ithead that kept running drivers off at walmart is now our safety guy. Thats when these cameras started…

 

[Piano Man]

Knew it was from somewhere that liked to micro manage every move we made.

What’s next from Wally World Boy? Our trucks cut back to 57 mph? Maybe some other bogus policies. We’re freight haulers, not the Chinese junk transport. Maybe he’d like to micromanage my winter of throwing iron every day? Doubt it. Unbelievable.

Mf can come throw the chains himself the day they micro me on that,. I mights just stay home and make an actual sea line driver do the job they signed up for instead of calling out every time it snowing
