You’ve nothing to lose by applying.
SAIA is great company and pays very well. They do have driver facing cameras but you get accustomed to them. Just follow the rules and don’t mention the union and you could have a long prosperous career. Go for it! Like White said .. you have nothing to lose.
A good driver should not be worried about a camera. Whether it's a forward or driver facing..... I look at it as it's there for my protection from other idiots.
If think it's a joke then I can tell that either you are new to the profession or you are one of the drivers that needs to have a camera on you.
Don’t need no camera facin inside to figger that out. Can do that just fine with one facin out.
Get use to it...... the insurance companies are mandating them.
If the accident is not your fault what is the problem.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We get it, heard it all before. The next time the SAIA clock is swinging in your face, just blink and you can break that trance. Probably thought it was a good idea to give us suckers on lollipop day that said said take care of each other too.
Insurance companies are not mandating them. The driver facing cam is a double edged sword. It can prove a company's driver is at fault in an otherwise questionable situation . Several of the Mega Carriers that were using driver facing cams have disabled them. Werner and USA Truck were the ones I've heard. Forward facing still operable however.

It is a double edged sword but whether you want to admit it or not the cameras do make you more aware of safety. Many want to say that they are professionals and don’t need to be watched and perhaps that may be true for a few. But many guys become overconfident and perhaps a bit arrogant and for those the cameras help keep them honest. The cameras help you maintain a safety mindset when you know you could be caught with some unsafe practices that could cost you your job.
Not yet but just give them time. The improved safety numbers that are starting to be produced will make all LTL companies go to them. Accidents are down and the numbers don’t lie. I hated the cameras at first but I adapted to them and they did make me more safety conscious. It’s just human nature when you know you’re possibly being watched. I was always a safe driver but these cameras helped me step it up to the next level. Especially when you’ve been coached a time or two. They helped me from becoming complacent and instilled a bit of humility. Arrogance and a know it all attitude leads you down a road of complacency and that’s a recipe for a disaster.
Damn, I got out just in time. Can’t wait for hunting season here in East Texas. A little hot for fishing now so I’m just chilling in the pool with a cold one.
If you needed a camera to make you more aware, you were doing something wrong in the first place. Character is what you do when you know no one is watching. Arrogance and complacency have nothing to do with it.
You’re a prime example of why cameras are needed Mr. Perfect or perhaps it should be Mr. Know it All. Complacency has everything to do with it and now you’re just letting your arrogance show through. What the **** ever! You know nothing about human nature and the multiple studies that have been completed on this safety related issue. You’re just another close minded Know it All.
