Trucking Vlog | Saia City Driver

[@camrodger8638]

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.

[@fredo2x625]

How you check?

[@ryancox5097]

​@@fredo2x625 You hafta get down on your knees and smell it. Post a video of yourself doing it, so we can make sure you're doing it right.

Shes using an manual pallet jack in the video. 😅

[@slay3rsaber]

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. :)

[@briatrucking]

That’s a great tip, thank you. I will keep that in mind.

[@niltonlacle]

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.

[@briatrucking]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you :)

[@weirdfan88]

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.

[@shiggity42]

If you have no lift gate, how do you do a residential pick up or delivery?

[@weirdfan88]

@@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.

[@Daniel-vr5sz]

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!

[@briatrucking]

Thank you so much! I appreciate it :)

[@mancas52]

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👍

[@brianpowell518]

Bria putting in that work on P&D!! You go girl and be safe out there!!

[@briatrucking]

😎

[@KenpomomGaming]

It is great seeing you thrive and enjoy the path you are taking. Keep going forward and stay safe. We miss you

[@biglou859]

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 👍🏽

[@briatrucking]

Good tip, I will remember that. Thank you.

[@hughjass4838]

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.

[@briatrucking]

Good to know, thank you for the tip. I’m working on it 👍

[@frankbroker3698]

What time customers close for lunch, too!

[@joshuamendes1565]

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.

[@The_Gr8Pre10der]

are you doing 70 hours a week with saia?

[@johndeere8594]

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.

[@larryemens7894]

I give her props but i want to see some inside deliveries. Definitely see her use a liftgate too.

[@1499r]

Thank you for sharing your journey, it is great to watch a skilled person in another treadle than mine. Keep it up!

Hey Bria!, having a single axle tractor helps getting in the tight places.

[@Boo91900]

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.

[@ccichon]

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 🦘

[@semiphill5436]

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.

[@briatrucking]

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 👍

[@fredokush]

For this position do you really need your tanker endorsement?

[@connected901]

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.

[@maxdslr]
