Anybody Work For Saia?

Pretty much covers most carriers..

 

I believe so but man how are you supposed to stay awake at night without the cb and phone lol

 

That was the way it was when I worked there. At the time if you knew how the camera worked you could pretty reliably get away with it. Although, I think they moved from Lytx to Samsara cameras for the AI capabilities, so if that was the case I wonder how difficult it would have been to fool.

 

I worked for saia for 10+ years and quit because of the micromanagement. The final straw was being told I got a "retraining" writeup for not braking hard enough after getting cut off, nevermind my million miles and ten year safe driving records lol. YmMV though, as some terminals are waaay better than others. And they're more strict when they're overstaffed and less strict when they're understaffed. If you're getting hired into a 530am start time, theyre probably understaffed there.. care to share what terminal you've interviewed at?

I'm not trying to talk you out of working there, because you can a great living working there. But if you'd get annoyed by having someone look over your shoulder at all times, you wont last long.

 

I'm about to try it out for a linehaul spot. It's either that or stay doing what I'm doing until R&L opens the new terminal by me. If I stay doing what I'm doing I don't think I'll make it till next summer. If they suck that bad I just have to tuff it out for a bit.

 

I used to work there. They micromanage you if you do local P&D. They don’t let you do overtime and call you on your way to work to not come in because you have too many hours. They write you up for every single little thing you don’t do correctly. Had a buddy that left after I did and he said they kept getting worse.

Linehauls guys can’t get close to other trucks on the road to pass. If you ever see them trying to pass they’re like half a mile away on the left lane hoping you will be courteous and slow down so they can pass. Lol.
