Getting Hired with Saia

@Usmc1991 I'm assuming you from Texas if so which city, if you live in a big city there's other companies out there who reward its drivers what they deserve and get on with them. Not knocking saia down as I have heard good things from them. As my trainer said once expand your horizons and choose a company you want to stay in for the long term.Have you ever thought about running tankers in the city. I have spoken to other tankers and they seem to be happy and it's a bit more consistent hauling gas than crude oil. Anyways good luck on your search and hope you find the right niche for you.

 

I'll say maybe go early in the morning to the terminal or maybe catch one of the local drivers and ask them who's the poc. I know these are silly suggestions but it can work.

 

Wow, thats a small terminal.. It looks like they're open 0500-1000, and again at 1800-2000. If I had to guess, considering they don't have any staff on site during the day, I'd say that you're hiring process would go through Dallas. Still try to get a hold of wichita falls though. If you can't get a hold of anybody there after a few days, try getting a hold of the Dallas terminal manager.

 

They require a spotless record. Nothing within 3yrs tickets and accidents. I've read it on Truckingboards.com. I've got a lot of linehaul exp and when I was thinking about leaving my company awhile ago I applied and no call back. At the time I had two speeding tickets in my pov that were reduced down(had a bad month). Then I researched cause I know nobody from Saia and found that out. Need a spotless Mvr and CSA for them. I did turn down a job with them when I had a clean record 6 years ago. Went through the interview and they wanted me but I choose US Foods over them. Don't think the TM was happy about that. Oh well I'm good where I'm at.

 

@Usmc1991 hey bud how's it going any updates on saia.
