I been a dockworker for saia since feb..started at $23.99 after our raise got bumped to $25.34…got my cdl in june.start driver academy in September..
Yes, a very good pay raise. I've 2 weeks left in Saia Driving Academy. I'm really leaning towards line haul if there is an opening.
When you graduate they should have you do a week in the city and a week on linehaul so you're trained for both. I've never done city but I love linehaul. Great job
@germanictribesman1985 Thank you. Yes, after my 5 weeks of training. I've one week of city driver and one week of Linehaul training. I'm leaning towards linehaul. I'll settle for the city. I could always do a linehaul run on the weekends.
@@joshuamendes1565 no social life in linehaul. I spend all my ofttime sleeping
If you don't mind me asking, what terminal are you out of?
Had my Interview today cant wait to start!
how did it go man?
Nice video man. I’m an abf freight linehaul driver. We got a 3.50 raise and by end of contract it’s overall a 10 dollar raise in the nest five years. I have ALOT of content available
I left Saia last August from the SAC terminal, but when I left for Linehaul it was about $41/hr for all driving time and I think about $28/hr for all “on duty not driving” time, which included pre/post trip, fueling, drop/hook, waiting and any other work related activity that wasn’t driving.
Why would you leave that?
@@hurt1704 I got a job with my local county doing garbage collection. The commute from my house to the yard was only 10 minutes at most, usually only about 7. Plus a lot of awesome benefits and perks that come with a county job, excellent health and dental benefits, vacation, accrual, holiday pay for every recognized state and federal holiday Union representation that wasn’t Teamsters, plus the job itself was super fun and chill
Top rate in Ohio @ Fedex Freight is $34.11 and 78 cents per mile. We get paid 30 minutes to hook or drop a set and 15 minutes to fuel. Paid hourly for all delay at meet points and for break downs.
I want in
I’m in the cgo region and we went from 34.47 to 35.50 hourly and linehaul went from .775 to .799 or .803. Don’t remember of the top of my head.
We've gotten a raise at Saia every July for the last several years.
I am happy working for Saia LTL freight. I have been working with Saia for 24 years. I have made over 1.7 million dollars in the 24 years with Saia.
Considering the dollar was worth more, but wages were alot lower your first 10ish years.. thats a good amount.. average 100-130 these days
Fedex Freight driver here. We got a raise last October. Currently make 75CPM, and $33.12 an hour (Eastern Washington State). Haven't heard anything about another raise this year. Since I started with this company we have been getting 2 bonuses a year. Our drivers that took a voluntary furlough earlier this year are now back to work
Do you work for a contractor?
@@rafaelcastro6743 no I work directly for FedEx Freight
$35.50 top pay in Seattle right now on city I believe it’s the highest in the country cause I’ve seen California only offers $35.00 top pay on the city side according to workday when you look up the available jobs
Hey Mark that’s a pretty good raise in this economy. We got the best raise Averitt has ever given last month. $.05 per mile that put us at $.765 and $38.25 on hourly. I was surprised we got one this year.
$38.25? The east coast raise only went to $31.75
@@ethansills6158 are you Cory or shuttle at Averitt?
City?
@@ltlshuttledriver city
Bro, shout out to ANE they're killing it🥳 Almost 1000 bills a day🤯 Great team at ANE👏
The ANE trailers I get are always over 1,300 cube ft. Often times in the 1,800 range. They know how to go high and tight. Nice new terminal they have out there
@@germanictribesman1985 Hell Yeah
I made 39 an hour at SAIA Fontana 6 years ago linehaul
You still there with Wayne the trainer and Mike the Big Boss ?
Massachusetts pays well due to the high cost of living. Line haul ive been told pays more than P&D city drivers.
You’re absolutely right 🫡 anything in Massachusetts pays well I try telling people that
Line haul always pay better than P&D. if not why work at night.
Mark I am sorry to hear of the 3% raise. The negative is you are falling behind with inflation unless the mileage really boosts the rate of increase extremely high.
It would be nice to see hear a Breakdown of the 401-K and why you think that was lacking. Educating everyone on that important benefit will highlight the need for the younger professional drivers to participate. Thank you.
I don’t expect anyone to get a 9% raise. That’s what it would take to keep up with inflation.
Everyone’s 401K has lost approximately 20% in the last 2 years due to this administration’s caused inflation. That’s why I’m upset about that.
@@MarksTruckingLife Lol..Stay steady on the 401-K contributions. You look like you have another 20 years to work and it will be much higher when your time comes. The only people affected are recent retirees and those retiring shortly. I thought maybe your employer contribution was reduced or possibly if they also added a profit sharing contribution that was eliminated. Keep up the good work on the channel.
@@coffeecup3177
I’m 65 and almost ready to go.
@@MarksTruckingLife Well you are certainly affected. You look a lot younger I pray for your good health and a long well deserved retirement.
Thanks
Seems like you guys make pretty good money at SAIA but my question is- if you moved to a different state and still worked for SAIA does your seniority and vacation time stay with you or do you have to start over?
Stays with you
Overtime , how much goes towards your pension
Im in Dallas looking to get hired on with you guys. Are they hiring in Dallas?
Check this site for which terminals are hiring.

What are the company paid benefits? I am getting great pay but paying more for benefits. I actually made more take home money 5 to 10 years ago.
@@johnj8840 Thank you, I did look it up and it's 10 yrs. I have about 10 years before retiring. So I am kinda stuck. My benefits is over 100 dollars a week and I don't have everything and not including 401k.
benes blow here, but so does Fedex freight. uniform design sucks balls too. always feel like I'm headed out to a bowling tournament
Question ? Is it worth it working there ? I got a interview for the Chicago location ? City p&d position , I just want great pay, stay busy and find my place to stay and retire thanks info helps
Not sure about CGO but overall it’s pretty good.
Can I ask you a question about Saia? What’s a day like as a line haul driver? Are u home every night ? How’s the 2 days off? Is it a 34 hour reset only or u actually get 2 days off ? Looking at posting in California
I think this is all still pretty much true.

@@MarksTruckingLife thank u
Hopefully ya'll can pick up some of the FedEx freight customers from their terminal closures. FedEx is closing several mid size terminals in Texas
Keep dreaming buddy, Fedex is only consolidating those into larger centers, won't be losing any customers.
Wrong
@@mathew3267lmao year old and I still got a laugh at this. The fact people think the largest mega ltl carrier is going out of business because they consolidated small terminals is laughable
Been working since 2001, only raise I've ever seen was when minimum wage bumped up by the federal government. Other than that it has always been jumping between jobs to get a raise or getting a promotion.
I think Saia Linehaul in Cali is $40
I believe it's $38.50-$43
Do Saia still have driver facing cameras??
Yes
If it surprised you then your not paying attention to your craft. Yall killing it out here. Yall like roaches in the Chicagoland area. Yall everywhere. Stock going crazy. Killing us at Old Dominion
Is linehaul drivers home daily? Or back weekly?
Pretty sure a lot of this is still true.
ua-cam.com/video/MlxavYIyvSo/v-deo.htmlsi=KTGhNT4xshQCUPDE
Do y'all have automatic in the fleet?
Yes. I don’t think there any manuals left in the fleet.
I heard on a mutha trucker video today that Yellow drivers in Houston are making 19-20 an hour.....good union jobs riiiiiiight
$ 27 an hour plus OT after 8 is what the drivers get in Ohio
Do Linehaul Driver work the docks?
Only if you get to a dark terminal and have to do a work off of some freight. I don’t think I’ve had to do that in two or three years.
@MarksTruckingLife Thank you Sir
👏
Xpo never have a slow season either
Is p&d hard labour?
You’ll definitely sweat and get dirty
@@MarksTruckingLife wow
Anyone in Dallas area what’s the pay rate
Pretty sure I put it in the video.
100% incorrect. California pays mileage. Pays hourly rate delays at terminals.
That kind of pay you should be union i was a teamster for 27 years
Just remember ur the last thing they think about believe me especially if u got no representation
I wish I could c9me onboard, but your recruiting department is horrible
Hey Mark, been subscribed to your channel for a while, I'll be applying to saia. If i can use you as a reference I'll email you.
Sure.
