    Finally think i got my foot in the door at Saia LTL

    buddy of mine said they are in need of line haul drivers all over...

    Said i would be getting a phone call today or tomorrow! Wish me luck

    Its for a system driver position so I'll be home every weekend or for a 34... which is way better then my current job!!

    What should i expect to make my first year?

    Thank you sir , they pay in my area .62 cents a mile then they pay for breaking a set apart.. i think its a good gig....

    Only bad thing is driver facing camera but I'll get over that

    They start at .62 or top out at that? .62 seems high to start for any LTL. I have a buddy who runs the city for them in Greenville, SC. He makes $24ish an hour, been there a few years. Only bad thing is they will fire you over about anything. Keep your nose clean.

    As far as I know , in the raleigh NC area, for LTL they start around 20ish per hour. That 0.62 most likely will be for running line haul...plus the additional pay for breaking doubles , etc...best of luck to you!

    You start a few cents under .62 cents top out is after 18 months i think.

    And yes their line hauls atm tops out at .62 cents..

    And as long as you do your job and follow policies i dont see how you can get fired

    What terminal are you applying at? I'm going to call them and tell them you stink! Ha!

    But in all seriousness, I wish you the best of luck. But if they're like in my neck of the woods, they hire a lot and they also fire a lot, not mention layoffs.

    But with you being a system driver that may be an entirely different ballgame. I've never seen any of those guys here

    I've actually heard that as well, @BigTennOTR ... and yeah, the cameras. That wouldn't make or break me. But when they say NO YouTubing videos, like many men and women supplement their lives with, they mean NONE. I'm pretty sure they are really strict with Cellphones as well. @Pintlehook ?? @lcfd15 ??

    Best of luck to you, hope it happens 4 ya.... just HEED rules... (me, I don't have many company ones, ergo the freedom of a small gig, lol~!)
