Saia LTL Freight Reviews

Pros

Great company been here almost 30 years as any job you get what you put into it pay is good benefits are good if you have issues or questions I've never seen them being ignored like a lot of companies out there

Pros

The pay is amazing, and far exceeds basically every other entry level job in the area. Management/supervisors have been very helpful, I can't think of a time I didn't feel heard or didn't get helped. I feel valued as an employee! I feel I'm treated equally among my co workers, and definitely don't notice the "favoritism" some have talked about here. The over time and benefits are great. Yeah, some nights are long and not everyone can manage a schedule like that, but I don't mind the long nights at all. I truly love this job and don't plan on leaving. As long as you have the will to learn, ask questions, and do your best to improve you won't have any issues.

Pros

Fast-Paced, Challenging, Benefit/Pay Competitive

Advice to Management

Provide tools, Create a positive environment, work on improving the culture and allow those that are over-worked time off when they burn out.

Pros

The work was generally interesting. Going to new places performing new and often very challenging maneuvers to hit docks throughout the city kept work interesting. Fast pace work environment to get deliveries off in appointment windows and freight pickups before closing times. Management treated me very well, although other drivers and warehouse workers didn't feel the same. I personally had great opportunities to move up. Started as a forklift driver then dock lead position, then went on to dock to driver Trainee and then PUD driver. I wouldn't be sure where to go from the driver position though. And I couldn't imagine myself doing that alone for the rest of my life. You really have to be prepared to do anything to make deliveries. Hand unloading freight when liftgates are always in short supply got you up and working hard! Raises are very consistent and generous.

Advice to Management

I saw a few supervisors in positions that they weren't competent to fill. And it was no secret. Upper management knew it, and workers knew it. They hold everyone back from performing at the highest potential. Their inability to preform the job became a joke amoung all employees and yet these individuals hold these upper positions for 5-10+ years. Despite plenty of motivated individuals being eager to move up, capable of doing better work, and emproving the entire facility and making everyones lives easier. Employees become jaded when they are unable to move up even though they demonstrate superior knowledge and work ethic. Holding these low performing supervisors in positions is costing SAIA it's best employee's.

Pros

Pay, work schedules, some co workers make the day easier to get through.

Pros

Pay, equipment, plenty of work. With opening the east coast. This company could be on its way to great things. But...... the cameras in the truck could ruin it.

Advice to Management

Please re-evaluate the cell phone policy. At least let the Bluetooth to be used. Heck even have waivers signed this if a incident happens while being on Bluetooth. Then driver is subjected to disciplinary action.

Pros

Great Pay, as well as benefits

Advice to Management

keep up the good work

Pros

The benefits only there's nothing else. I want to say something good, but there's nothing the money is just OK. It's not worth it once you start noticing things that's effecting your life, but I can say they put you in a hotel

Advice to Management

Tell he or she the whole truth, there's a no cell (phone policy) and if you're a system drive (extra broad) you will be gone one week at a time away from from family with no communication even if you have a Bluetooth device. That's why they're offering sign on bonus it's hard for them to find driver for that reason and others, just keep your eye open and listen. Advice to the people sitting down not driving, Hr and safety department make people wanna drive for you, want to retire not a quick fix 100% facts just ask other driver

Pros

Good pay awesome benefits

Advice to Management

Management is very difficult to get a hold of when problems come up

Pros

I've been employed by this company for a littlemore than 2 years.The company is all I have come to expect of the company, plenty of work, benefits, pay and has help me to buy my first brand new car, and now a house.

Advice to Management

Although much is expected from the uppers for you to do more,enforcement of policy on employees, personality should mot come before merit or company protocol.
