They have relaxed the rules a bit in regards to backing without your seatbelt on and a few other things. I will say some of the policies are a bit rigid but ultimately they are designed for the safety of us and the public. Will they relax them more is hard to say but if we continue to have turnover that is directly related to the cameras and that starts to cause service failures and losing accounts they may have to look at it. Those decisions are way above my pay grade. There is a fine line here and SAIA must find it. You can't compromise safety but at the same time you can't start losing customers either because you can't find drivers. HR needs to be straight up with new hires about these cameras. Why? Because in my mind it's better for them not to accept the job in the first place than for us to spend the money training them and watch them walk away once they realize the realities of the cameras. I have no problem with the cameras because I know how to work with them. I know my camera like the back of my hand. Each truck is different in regards to sensitivity. I always cover my ass. ALWAYS! This is SAIA's ballgame. You must play by their rules or risk the consequences. My hope is they will dial them back a little more as far as petty things like taking a drink. But things like stop signs and red lights and cell phone usage. HELL NO!! You break the rules. You lose your job.
Wow that was a big gulp of cool aid guess 25 years of not putting a scratch on nothing doesn't qualify me to talk on the cb. BTW they already lost a 50 k a month account in North Carolina due to not having enough help to service it this week maybe that's a start
