    I applied to only one. I had a decent job already and decided not to go for anything other than my top choice. If they weren't interested I didn't lose anything. I did pester them a lot after I turned in my app so I didn't get lost in the shuffle. I called the HR rep at least once a week to check on the status of my application.

    About half these outfits are union. That's a make-or-break for some folks in one way or the other. If it matters:

    Union:

    UPSF
    ABF
    Holland
    YRC

    Non-union:

    Saia
    ODFL
    Estes
    R+L
    FedEx Freight

    If you're that on the fence, this might help you decide, or at least eliminate some choices.

    I would suggest Estes, Old Dominion, or R+L.

    Conway uses nanny cams, and Fedex is too micromanaging IMO.

    OD has cams too and they can tell if your speeding in a speed zone. It's if safety guy is looking or not.

    OD doesn't have driver facing cams, if that's what you're referring to. The EOBR does record speed, but it doesn't send a report to Safety unless you hit 10 over. Trucks are governed 65, so most of the speeding would be done on secondary roads. Who goes 10 over in town and doesn't expect a ticket?
