thank you TR members!! Saia is great!

Let me break it down like this linehaul makes more money it's not even close, so if money is what you are after go linehaul. I have a small route 380 miles a night usually 9-10 hours since I have 4 drop and hooks. So for 45-50 hours of work a week I'm going to make 70k this year. I think the best a city guy hits is maybe the low 60s

 

Well the vast majority of linehaul work is over night, City guys is all day shift. Reasonable expectation of pay is at least 40k for city and a minimum 60k for linehaul. I work with guys in linehaul pulling 6 figures working 60 hour weeks. It's all about your preference, not everyone can handle nights.

 

That's my guess, call the terminal manager and ask they will be straight up with you

 

Due to my schedule I did the interview and then another day I did the physical drug test and road test. Orientation lasted about 3 hours, lots of paperwork and videos. Training consisted of one week with the driver trainer. The TM did the interview and orientation no out of state recruiter crap like some other companies. If you want the name and number for a TM just let me know which terminal

 

We need drivers so bad and just about all the terminals, seriously if you have your endorsements and some experience just apply and ask the TM anything and everything. I interviewed my TM more than he interviewed me.

 

Pay varies slightly by location and they start you higher with LTL experience
