My return to LTL... with SAIA

I left ground as a Transportation Manager for a contractor to go to SAIA. I was sitting on the couch a month ago and had a guy hit me up on LinkedIn. Long story short after 15 people and 4 interviews they offered me a gig for 6 figures salary and 42 hours a week. Kinda crazy because I didn't know I had a LinkedIn and I was going to delete the email but something told me reply.

 

They’re not paying you by the mile?

 

Yes. @ SAIA. But the new gig is back to the office. It's salary. Friday is my last day @ SAIA.

 

I know this is an old thread, but just curious if anyone here is still with Saia?

 

Probably not. SAIA sucks.

 

Have an interview for a linehaul spot that seems to have a good schedule, pays well, and good benefits. Looking for the bad side of things.

 

From what I was told, it sounds like basic out and back every night. I was told it’s definitely not extra board.

 

Just be ready to change your driving habits. Once the following distance beeper hits you have to back off if not you’ll get a video. Too many following too close incidents they’ll let you go. No tailgating whatsoever so ever you have to start your passing way before you get close to a truck.
