Cool Saia Orientation Video from 1989

Haya, Mike! You never replied to my reply . . . how goes it, fellow Buckeye? Cool vid, btw~!!!
You still doing GFS? Man, Fab is desperate here in Ohio. I've got family that works there and they are so good to him, but idk.... i'm still thanking my tanking! Be safe, man.

 

No E logs, no Dpf, no qualcom, no super coops. They had it made.

 

^^ I was one of them, for a time. Yeah, it was great. So were payphones, because they were everywhere in the day.

 

LMAO, i feel ya there, man. More work, more money. I'm too old to do that much work, {in my head, anyway!} . . . Asphalt is all over the place with this early summer; so I gotta run when I can, as much as I can. I'm starting LATE today, because they are SO backed up trying to slam the 6122 and 3257 mixes together, and the input product was late... GRR!~
I've NEVER off-loaded beer, pop, or 'groceries' . . . did the FedEx thing in 04 and then Transport America and USA truck to get my OTR behind me, 05 and 06. Got this local gig, and love it...except for the winter when the asphalt won't flow, I get stuck hauling for UPC / United Pre-Cast here in Mt. Vernon. They throw OS/OD crap on me I know nothing about. If it weren't for @cnsper and @Hurst , and @TripleSix Six, and many MANY others... i'd be lost. I caught a cop because my Oversized banner was upside down last winter, and I told the officer I was paying a tribute to Dezi Arnez / revo . . . and he let me go. Flat bedding is not for me; I respect the HELL outta those guys, tho. I have to haul what they give me, and however they secure it, and have had a load / concrete beam that was a number in a certain order where I had to be .... SLIP and slide on me / wife and child with ... BECAUSE it wasn't secured correctly on the trailer, from the shipper. I have educated myself in securement, thru the guys above's posts, but .... wow. Just WOW. It's not for the thin skinned, that's for sure.
Who knows I may jump to FAB for the winter months and then go back to Saunders / Shelly Co. Not sure yet! Keep on keeping on, be safe, bro. I'm gonna grab a light dinner and head out in a few.
ps: Wife worked for Bob Evans in Mansfield on Hanley for 12 years.....ever been there? She jumped in once for a GFS guy and pulled his T/T brakes, as he forgot to. She was out smoking, by the dumpster, only place allowed, and saw the roll. Said she never heard the air, when he went in the back door to get to a manager.
Ever hear of that guy? was it you? LoL.
Sorry to hijack the thread, and Saia was a company I WANTED to go with back in the day, but FedEx Ground although it sucked, paid better. We just had our last child...../thk God...LoL.
Keep in touch man. thanks.
