    That's actually ok, but get it set up while you are parked, don't be fumbling around with the phone and the cord while running down the road, most the guys put a cell phone mount on the dash then run their cord to the stereo.

    It takes 10 years to get med certs reimbursed by Saia???:biggrin_2551:

    That’s interesting in light of the fact that Saia advertises an average employee tenure of 8 years on their own website, not to mention that we get ours reimbursed right off the bat,

    They do, but they mostly sweat the gate times, not the ETAs, yes to them it is ideal to make the ETA time, but stuff happens and they know that, I have always been told to just keep in communication with the destination terminal or meet driver if their are going to be ETA issues.

    No not the med certs they pay those from the start, at 10 years of service you stop having to pay your weekly portion of the health insurance, Saia starts paying it, yes I know what their website says, but we do have over 10 year employees there lol.

    Very true, but it's a long road to that 10 years, I have to admit that, but if achieved well worth it.

    Great companies, they also hardly ever hire where I live, Saia was hiring, I was in the right place at the right time, as it turns out, it's not a bad job to me, always keep me busy, plenty of miles and the checks never bounce.
