Using Your Saia ID Badge and Preventing a Traffic Violation
This month, Safety Training Manager Samuel Wilfert highlights Saia's ID badge requirements and obeying traffic rules by stopping at the appropriately marked stop line.
Saia Identification Badge
Based on our commitment to the security of Saia employees, our facilities and at the request of our customers, Saia requires ID badges to be worn by all employees at all times while on duty and at all times within the confines of a Saia facility.
ID badges must be worn in plain site.
In the event of a lost or damaged ID badge, please reach out to your terminal manager to facilitate a replacement.
A Traffic Violation You May Not Even Know You Are Committing!
Law enforcement officers may stop a vehicle when they have reasonable suspicion to believe that the driver has violated a traffic law. While most folks know that speeding and failure to wear a seatbelt is unlawful, many are surprised to learn about other common driving behaviors that are likewise prohibited.
Stopping behind the white line
When a stop sign or traffic signal requires a vehicle to come to a complete stop at an intersection or some other place in the road, the vehicle must stop at the appropriately marked stop line, if there is one. A driver who stops his or her vehicle before entering an intersection or proceeding past the sign or signal—but beyond a marked stop line— has committed a traffic violation for which he or she may be stopped.
