Saia LTL Freight: A Steady Career Close to Home

Interstate Truck Driving School is excited to welcome Saia LTL Freight, a less-than-truckload carrier, to our West St. Paul campus. Saia has partnered with ITDS to give our graduates a direct path into driving through its Driver Academy program. Here’s why professional drivers choose Saia:

1. Stable Work: Saia has been in business since 1924, giving you the kind of stability that comes from a carrier that’s outlasted a century of change in the industry.
2. Weekly Pay: Saia pays drivers weekly, not biweekly or monthly, so you’re not waiting a month to see the results of your work.
3. Home Time: Some Saia routes keep you local, running a set area and heading home after your last stop each day. Other routes cover longer distances between terminals, and about 80% of those drivers still run set schedules and are home most days of the week, averaging 2,500 miles behind the wheel.
4. Complete Benefits: Discover a full benefits package, including medical, vision, and prescription coverage, plus a 401(k) plan with immediate company match. Saia prioritizes the well-being and financial security of its drivers.
5. Room to Grow: Saia’s Driver Academy is built for non-drivers and CDL holders with less than 12 months of experience, giving you a direct route into the industry even if you’re just getting started.

Requirements for Company Truck Drivers: To join Saia’s team, candidates must meet the following criteria:

• Class A CDL with Hazmat, Tankers, and Doubles endorsements (or acceptance into the Driver Academy for those with less than 12 months of experience)
• Minimum age of 21 years
• Safe driving record
• Minimum of 12 months’ tractor-trailer experience for standard driving roles
