That’s the most distracting thing for me when going down the road. I can’t eat with tons of traffic or bad road conditions. But that’s just me.In all seriousness , the new safety protocol mentions food as a distraction to driving.

I don’t care anymore. If this is true I will not change anything I do. I’m tired of the nonsense of this place. I’ll get coached until I get fired. I will no longer allow these imbeciles and their actions to make me miserable. UPS, OD, Fed Ex doesn’t have cameras. And they are all hiring. I can afford the temporary pay cut.In all seriousness , the new safety protocol mentions food as a distraction to driving.
As old and close to retirement as I am, this is uncalled for. I won’t give’em this one if it materializes, I believe it will.I don’t care anymore. If this is true I will not change anything I do.

If you don't care about your job why do you stay? There is no one forcing you to stay here.I don’t care anymore. If this is true I will not change anything I do.

They are having a really hard time keeping and hiring drivers by me.I guess some of you didn’t get it. I’m a linehaul driver. We start the best rumors. Get it? Rumor. I do know that you can’t talk on the phone or cb at Saia...
They are expanding into the Northeast. It would be a major sticking point for me.They are having a really hard time keeping and hiring drivers by me.
I could go for that! Those boys sure have worn I-75 out since being bought. That company wants growth.I've heard this rumor: CFI wants to buy the LTL portion of XPO.
There is a thread on this site that is designed to address questions like this.Just a serious question to anyone who might care to reply. You have, right in front of you, the solution to issues mentioned in this thread. A union contract will protect you from all the petty nonsense thrown at you by this company. It's job security, decent healthcare and a grievance process that will eliminate the possibiity of you becoming a casualty of an "at will" employer. I can't understand why anyone would not take the opportunity to have these protections without any risk.

Same with Marathon Petroleum ( Speedway convenience stores ) tanker drivers. Zero tolerance - even for bluetooth headsets. And they have drivecams. On a phone in ANY WAY from what a driver told me and its bye bye.Sysco/Cigna around here is union. They have driver facing cameras. If you want to do anything other than hold the wheel, you must pull over. No phones. No food or drinks. The union pushed it through. Safety was the reasoning.

I'm OK with that. What I don't like is as I said before, the unnecessary nitpicking over the trivial things.Sysco/Cigna around here is union. They have driver facing cameras.
