Frequently asked questions

How can I see my estimated delivery window when Saia shows 'Out for Delivery'?
Saia calculates a dynamic 2-to-4-hour estimated arrival window based on the driver's stop sequence once the city trailer departs the terminal.
Does Saia call before delivering residential freight?
Yes—when the shipper books `Residential Delivery / Notification Prior to Delivery`, Saia contacts you via phone, text, or email to set an appointment before dispatching the truck `Out for Delivery`.
What happens if nobody is home when Saia arrives for a scheduled residential delivery?
Because LTL freight requires a signed delivery receipt, the driver returns the pallet to the Saia terminal and redelivery storage/re-attempt fees may apply.
