If that’s true, then it couldn’t happen to a nicer “shove a camera in the driver’s face” outfit.

They have a local terminal, never impressed with them.

The "playing field" is far from being level when it comes to taking away authority or shutting down a company. I have seen it time after time.Texas_hwy_287, snowlauncher, bigblue19 and 4 others Thank this. -

That's a good one!
With 1,105 haz-mat inspections and only 55 out of service violations I doubt they are anywhere near FMCSA intervention threshold. They are a whopping 0.1% above the national average for out of service rates on haz-mat and well below the averages for driver and equipment out of service rates.
Even looking at their SMS report, which does not show haz-mat compliance publicly, it is still clear they are overall a compliant carrier with only 1,410 total violations among all categories. Further breaking out the listed HM compliance and unsafe driving violations related to haz-mat there are only a total of 134 haz-mat related violations (only 55 out of service) or less than 10% of all their violations are related to haz-mat. It is little unnerving that almost 50% of their haz-mat violations result in an out of service condition but we all know that alone is not a true measure of safety. Some of the OOS criteria is a little strict.

Saia caused the loss of a very good job for me and I'm no fan of how they do business but it was just business and I don't hate them , still have a friend that survived it and they sound very safety sensitive so I doubt they are losing haz mat authority.
