Anybody Work For Saia?

There's nothing but hard river types on the cb anymore.

 

Is Linehaul any better? What’s the difference besides being paid by the mile instead of the hour?

 

Depending on length of run, you’d probably make more doing mileage vs P&D.

At least that was my experience.

 

To me linehaul is way better Im a system driver..My pay has doubled,I enjoyed P&D
it has it’s good and bad days,I don’t miss the residentials and construction sites! Linehaul is more laid back and I enjoy driving at nights

 

Would you recommend that I apply for that position?

 

What is that if you don't mind telling me. Excuse my ignorance.

 

They run single pups along with 48s and 53s in their city operation.
Oh and flatbed in some places.

 

I'm running a 48’ lift gate trailer, which most of my residential deliveries are done on the street.
I also call ahead and look at the address on Google Earth to see if alternative arrangements need to be made.

If it’s in the city where the bulk of my route goes, most people will have me do a street side unload or meet at the local supermarket or truck stop to get there stuff.
