A quick tip. Always check the operation of the pallet jack before leaving on your run. Discovering a pallet jack low on oil at the first call can really ruin a great day.
About heavy pallets. Use gravity to your advantage. I don't know NA trailers but if it is possible to lower the suspension, then do it and/or rise suspension in semi so the floor will tilt downward towards door. And when loading heavy stuff rise suspension in trailer or lower it in semi. Pallets will roll themselves just don't allow them to go too fast. :)
I enjoyed the video!! It reminded me of working at a truck dock when I was in high school and using those pallet jacks. I am impressed with how you wheel that truck around. You make backing up in a big rig look easy. Keep up the good work!
This was a very satisfying video to watch. Good editing, continuity was perfect, the cargo area shots were interesting, and looking forward to more videos like these. Congratulations Bria. Good job.
As you get more familiar with your route, it will be very helpful to memorize what time all the customers close and knowing what's in your trailer and where it's going ahead of time so you can deliver out of order, moving some pallets out of the way behind it to do so. I used to have a customer that closed at 2:30 and they always put it as one of my last stops. If I didn't adjust, they never would have gotten their stuff.
Those residential deliveries will be fun. I remember when I did LTL I had to decline a few residentials deliveries because they would give me a 53ft trailer and there was no way it would fit through some of those streets.
I’ve been a city driver for years. This was a very easy day.I didn’t see one inside delivery or residential deliveries. These LTL companies will send you to do a residential delivery with a 53 foot trailer,they do not care. Or break down multiple pallets of boxes and two wheeler them into a building.All the time screaming at you on the radio hurry up and get to your next stop.
Great job Bria , that's exactly what I did for 16 years with Saia I'm retired now but yeah except for the advanced technology every thing is pretty much the same I just hope you did strap those drums containing haz mat other than that excellent job👍
As a fellow P&D driver with Saia, I thoroughly enjoy my job. It's great to see the company seems to be moving in the right direction and actively fostering strong relationships with our customers. Keep up the great work and continue driving safely.
Make sure your employer is ok with you interacting with the camera while the truck is in motion on public roads . RUclipsrs have been fired for doing it
I was kinda thinking the say think but I was gone say you lookin at the camera to much but hell she mite get fired for askin that just don't look at the camera so much
@dennismelton2261 all the simps defending her 😂 I wouldnt be near my phone at all while driving if I got pulled over or if I was in an accident the cops can see all your activity on your phone
Nice job! My only advice is when picking up any drums especially hazmat, always be sure to strap them to the walls. They do tend to shift, plus when they go to break your trailer at the yard, they see that you took the time to secure your load properly...oh yea AND D.O.T. wants to see that stuff strapped FYI..otherwise great video and keep up the videos 👍🏽
Hey Bria, really enjoyed seeing behind-the-scenes of your new job. I was curious about what stops the pallet jack from rolling around, between stops. Could you show a close-up sometime? Cheers, Colin 🦘
Thank you! Good question. I use a pallet jack block/stopper. It’s a rubber square that stops the pallet jack from moving around. I will show a close-up next time 👍
I love watching your videos you bring back memories from when I worked at Pitt Ohio express they were very organized with the loading to give you a particular area to run and they have the the same color trucks.
@@fredo2x625 What's your age and do you have a lot of patience, can you resist touching your cell phone for hours at a time and most important not get road rage. If you answered yes to most or all of these questions get your CDL A and see what's out there. Best of luck friend.
@@fredo2x625 Nah, Hazmat is the hardest test for some, more questions and more to memorize and very specific answers to those questions. They will put answers that are very much alike so you have to know exactly what is needed to be correct.
That’s the beauty of having a CDL, you hold the keys to the kingdom. Don’t have to let one company hold you back when another will value you more (financially or otherwise). Good for you!
Love the less than truckload pick up and delevery videos Bria. Maybe at some point your company will get you drivers electric pallet jacks....... Riding with Chuck at Estes express had one for his deliveries, less chance of getting hurt and more productive, just a idea.
I work linehaul for Saia. I switched from city a little over a year ago and never looked back. Once you are eligible you should look into it. Think you'll like it.
Wishing you the best LTL is very physical demanding especially with residential deliveries but if you are only doing commercial you will probably do very well
OH..SO I didnt miss that many videos!! The last one I watched was when you were quitting AMZN. So this is the new gig. I enjoy see all the Bay Area sites. I moved from Rockridge area (Berkeley) to nasty ass Dallas. I can wait to move back. So have you told us all how much you are making? Us drivers are curious. Is SAIA a union gig? Thanks for the good times.
Hey bro it's me Dionne from Washington DC I'm about to go to truck school and I'm going to be driving a refund you got to start somewhere keep showing them videos take care and be safe. Dionne .
Thinking of getting my cdl soon, I think I would like it more than some other things but how’s it been treating you? Also Jesus loves you brah 💪🏼 keep trucking
What’s the pay and what’s your take home if you don’t mind me asking average is fine. I’ve been wanting to jump on saia but just curious on how much someone would be able to make. Do they pay OT?
When you first time I seen you video.I like it you have showed me a lot.bcos I was Unsure if I have it or not I was half way through it like in middle of getting my A license and I kept putting it off so when I seen your video after (serval video) I watched I change my mind to come and get my license my class A again bcos I lost interest in it from the beginning of it but now this video made a difference it give me confidence and my life back and I don’t know 🤷♂️ how to thank you! And can you do more back up 3 points turns tight turns park in the dock properly I need to see this more see i’am good 👍 but i need to be better. Hay stay in touch with me so I can pick up on the little things than you! ❤️🔥🌼🌷🌹😘🌸much love keep doing what you doing thank you!
As far as topics, now that you've switched from the LNG tractors to conventionally fuelled, do you notice any difference? I'm sure the extra light in the cab is welcome if it's not too hot.
I’m in Pa myself looking to transition to trucking with my cdl .that I’ve a had for several years but never really utilized it I hear SAIA has a driver academy for new driver hires. Was considering putting in a application any tips?
I'm thinking about working for Saia. What time do their shifts start and end. If you exclude traffic delays. I worked for Central freight. They had an 8am - 5pm and a 9am-6pm shift.
Hi, thank you for your videos, I have a question. Is true that drivers need to get Doubles/Triples, Hazmat, and Tankers endorsements, to work for them?
I have thought about many times joining your company, I just don’t know if I want to do linehaul or if I want to be a city driver. I’m curious what the hours are like linehaul drivers
Why are you so cute 🥰. Be careful I live in Atlanta and I use to work at Old Dominion and working on the dock and driving was tough. Dennis Melton church of Christ minister. GOD Bless you 🙏
Yes. I worked at Estes Express for 2 years. These LTL companies require tanker because you’ll be picking up totes of liquid that weighs 100’s of pounds. A few times I had a pick up where they fully loaded my trailer with liquid totes front to back….After so many pallets and pounds of liquid, that’s where it requires tanker.

If you have no lift gate, how do you do a residential pick up or delivery?
@@shiggity42 It depends on the product. Sometimes, it's something light, but it's just really long, so you can carry it or use a dolly.

Hey Bria!, having a single axle tractor helps getting in the tight places.
Thank you for sharing your journey, it is great to watch a skilled person in another treadle than mine. Keep it up!
Great video. Good luck with your new job. Keep on trucking!
Hey Bria, really enjoyed seeing behind-the-scenes of your new job.
I was curious about what stops the pallet jack from rolling around, between stops.
Could you show a close-up sometime?

Either a pallet jack chock block, or a strap. The chock has a square in the middle where the wheels drop into. Works great, never had an issue.
Thank you! Good question. I use a pallet jack block/stopper. It’s a rubber square that stops the pallet jack from moving around. I will show a close-up next time 👍

Get as prepared as possible before you get there!

Watch out for tendinitis in elbows too, working pallet jack all day. Mine would hurt. I was at yellow freight. Your younger though, should be fine.
I work linehaul for Saia. I switched from city a little over a year ago and never looked back. Once you are eligible you should look into it. Think you'll like it.
I work city with Saia. I could never sit that long on linehaul. I think there is pros and cons to both

I’m a ups truck driver I wish we had Navi they give us a piece of paper with directions
I hate trailers where the strap brackets are long ways up and down and not across
Very good job BRIA all the best ❤💐

I worked for Central freight. They had an 8am - 5pm and a 9am-6pm shift.
That 8:00-5:00 PM is beautiful
Do they have cab facing cameras ?

Can you work there with an automatic restriction? Was the test with automatic? Thanks
Yes their trucks are all automatic
Ever thought of doing tanker
Keep On Truckin 😎✌
Have you noticed change in handling moving from a 10 wheel tractor to a 6 wheel one? Easier to back? Enjoy your videos
Yes, it is easier to back due to the turn radius being shortened. It makes a slight difference. I’m glad you enjoy the videos!
