Shipping Notes

Rating

Saia supports up to 5 items per rate request. For rating, items are grouped based on the BOL Preference “Group Items on BOL” in Setup > Preferences > Bill of Lading.

Pallet Rates

If your account is set up for pallet rates, you must enter pallet dimensions.

Limitations

Saia web services only support 1 item per package or handling unit. All items on the pallet will be listed as the highest class item, with the total weight for the pallet. To print multiple items per pallet, use the Aptean Ship BOL.

Tracking

Shipments are tracked by PRO Number. Only posted shipments can be tracked using the Track Shipment button in the Shipment Status section.

Proof of Delivery

When the shipment’s status is Delivered, you can click the button next to the PRO # in the Transportation section to get the Proof of Delivery form in TIF format.
