SAIA | The Camera Situation Has Hit A New Low, Where Is The Bottom?

I will say Phil, I have also heard that saia is looking into the facial recognition camera. That came from a member of management and safety.
 
who counts the 20 seconds? a human or a computer .not asking for a friend. suppose count is off by a second or two then what?
 
Not sure if this covers you guys. Maybe a phone call to a lawyer?

Big R, you are wrong, in Indiana. Only ONE person in a telephone conversation, in Indiana has to know it is being recorded. In Illinois the same is a Felony. Having a recording device working in a camera in Indiana, I don't know. But, based on current Indiana Law, I think it is allowed under current law. Leaving a recording device in a room or office & then leaving, is a violation of Indiana & Federal law. As to privacy laws, the US Supreme Court has ruled in the past recordings in the work place are legal. Like searching a locker in school or work. You have no rights on search. von.

Here is a good site on this topic.

Hey. I didn’t come on here with no research. I’ve talked to the Saia safety group. They can not just live access any camera. But if you feel better about yourself insulting me. That’s cool. I don’t take it personal. I expect it. Coming on an open forum. Just trying to help is all. But with an attitude like yours. I will happily keep my info to myself. Have a great day

I am currently the telematics manager for a public fleet, my retirement gig. It’s what I do for a living. Lytx is one of my vendors. Saia fed you a line of crap. When you get the current versions of the cameras they have an internal memory that the people with the right permissions can access from a mobile device if they like. If your tractor has the older cameras they do not. If they switch vendors most have AI and loops from 50-72 hours. Many have four cameras as well to catch cross traffic. If you research is the word of your safety committee your learning in a bubble they created.

I believe you. I also think you are way ahead of us on this topic because you work in this field every day. Each state has different laws regarding recordings, video & audio in the workplace. Based on many court decisions over the years, a driver has little or NO rights when he or she releases the brakes & drives. I used to have a very cheap & effective GPS jammer I purchased from Amazon. It worked very well. After a while I discontinued its use because the benefits from it were outweighed by the potential penalties. Besides, if they really wanted to know where you were, they would follow you. And 10 to 1 you would never know it. von.

Kind of scary the bad results from jamming a GPS signal.

Here is a really good article on GPS Jamming involving a truck driver @ a airport on the eastern seaboard.

You don’t know the half of it. But you will very soon. I am surprised you’ve disclosed this fact. I’ve stopped posting here for personal reasons for the most part. I won’t be missed. The new low has yet to come ..... BTW! You can thank Karla drivers.

Meh, I don’t have much time invested here.

All of our drivers know the capabilities and we are up front about it. It’s not abused in any way. It shouldn’t be.
It’s not on Karla, it is industry wide and not only in commercial trucking. Those that don’t have it and say they never will are wrong, union or not. It’s used for so much more then tracking drivers and driving habits although the insurance companies will drive this home and companies won’t be able to survive the costs if they do not invest. Now, how the companies use the tech, well, that is up to them. If it’s being abused that is leaderships fault.

Exactly! SAIA is very selective. They review all videos downloaded but they simply look the other way with the favorites. A severe write up for some while others skate with a verbal. And keep in mind it’s for the same infraction. It happens all the time and do you think the guys that skate are going to say they were simply slapped on the wrist. You are hired at will here and SAIA let’s you know that if you dare speak up.

not unlike so many Saia policies. Padlocks, tobacco, phone. So inconsistent it’s a joke
 
How about playing the audio from a porno movie in your truck while driving. Then start a pool on how long it takes for the boss to ask you to step in to the office. von.
