Terrible experience

CUSTOMERS THIS IS THE REAL TRUTH ABOUT SAIA MOTOR I HOPE THIS ANSWER SOME QUESTION FOLLOW MY BLOG ON THIS SITE WILL HAVE MORE INFORMATION FOR YOU. CURRENT & FORMER ASSOCIATES PLEASE TELL THE TRUTH & ADD YOU’RE COMMENTS.


Review Headline HORRIBLE SAIA DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS OR ASSOCIATES what do you like about working at Saia Motor Freight? Pay is okay but they make up for it, weekend work short staffing always catching up working 15+ hours daily and if you are a supervisor inbound or outbound it could be 6 or 7 day a week. Saia took 5% from management & hourly in 2009 gave back 2 1/2% in December 2012 . What did they do with all that money? What do you dislike about working at Saia Motor Freight? Saia motor has horrible upper management & senior account managers no one works together they all finger point and blame drivers-clerks-terminal managers & supervisors. As a manager Saia never gave us the proper tools to be successful. The equipment was horrific had 5-8 breakdowns daily this is on the low end staffing was terrible the company would allow you so many dock men & drivers to use daily. Saia V.P. operations Paul Peck would set unrealistic goals that could not be met no matter how hard you would work or communicate to them, that a different plan was needed. Regional managers would have managers & supervisor to change operation numbers it seemed to me it was a common practice in the company I would always laugh at the service indicators they are not as close to what Saia reports. Saia does not train their dock associates could not believe how bad it was I have been in the transportation for over 20yrs and this is the worst I ever seen I would tell upper management about the problem & account managers but they did not care I felt horrible for our customers Saia was causing all there damages but did not care. I will submit photos of customers damaged freight you be the judge of Saia motor. What advice would you give to senior management? Saia needs to tell the truth to their customers and fix their problems Rick O'Dell need to get out of his cooperate office and visit & talk to his associates and listen listen listen listen listen . The company has taken numerous steps backwards after they terminated Tony Albanese Senior VP of sales & operations. He visited our terminal several times and would at least listen to what you had to say and fix problems. Paul Peck where are you don’t fix problems sitting at your cooperate desk and making horrific decision by hiring cowards like Bill Monahan. Final thought customers do not ship with Saia if at all possible use another carrier if you do track your shipments and get extra insurance on valuable freight! And please don’t overpay they cheat on their customer service indicators do not depend on Saia the will screw you.

The real problem with Saia

The real problem with Saia are the racist employees. They promote and give cushy jobs to people who are always undermining Saia business. The most important asset at Saia is a credible good hardworking employee who looks at the bottom line and tries to do the best for the company. With that said here is a great example and you who work there know to be true. There are these 2 guys named Chris Neville and David Reeves. These 2 tell outright lies about good employees and supervisors.They will do anything to get them fired for their personal gain and sick amusement. Chris Neville has been tormenting the people who work in the office especially women by calling them and saying disgusting things and threatening them if they talk to anyone. David Reeves also is always putting people in bad light because he is extremely racist so how do you think they are where they are right now by lying about good promotable people. David Reeves has quit 2 times and is now the manager down in Beaumont Texas. How do you expect people to follow your example and what you said when your totally against people who deserve to be in your position. That is why he leaves when everyone figures out what he is doing. that which has been proven. How can you be such a hypocrite and as many people that you have gotten fired be able to live with yourself? David and Chris have been undermining Saia since they started there and they laugh about it. How do you think people who invest in companies keep investing in a company that allows people like them to actually have the companies goals and values in their mindset. I will never let anyone of my relatives work for a company that allows that. These are the kinds of people who ruined the economy back in the mid 2000's and they are still there. They say they are homosexuals that are made because they are in the closet and dont want to come out. Saia hires guys that have ruined other freight companies like Smalley and Merchants and they do the same thing. The reason Yellow sold Saia was because of that and Saia was passed up by UPS because they do their research thoroughly on these companies. This is not being made up. Wake up Saia get rid of all your toxic employees and you might actually be a company where people liked to go to work. These are the guys who destroy company morale because they are mad at the world.
