# Saia tracking

> **In short:** Track a Saia LTL shipment with its PRO number on saia.com, or let M³ Tracker query Saia’s tracking API for every Saia load you add. Saia reports statuses as text rather than codes; M³ Tracker classifies them with the same rules it uses for every carrier, so a Saia load reads like any other in your dashboard.

Saia LTL Freight is a major US carrier that Canadian brokers meet on southbound freight and on US-domestic legs of cross-border moves. Its tracking API returns the shipment status, a history of events, delivery dates and both parties in one call per PRO. M³ Tracker polls it on a schedule and timestamps every change.

## How do you track a Saia shipment?

1. Find the carrier reference on the bill of lading or the pickup confirmation. You need the Saia PRO number.
2. Open Saia’s tracking page, enter the reference and read the latest scan.
3. Repeat for every load, every day, for every carrier you book with — or let M³ Tracker do it.

## How does M³ Tracker track Saia automatically?

M³ Tracker connects to Saia’s tracking API. Add the Saia PRO number to your dashboard and the status, origin, destination, pickup and delivery dates come back structured, refreshed on a schedule during business hours (7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Eastern on business days). No portal to open, nothing to copy.

- Your team sees every carrier in one dashboard, with the expected delivery date and an alert the moment it slips.
- Your customer gets a live tracking link with no login, and can subscribe to SMS updates from it.
- Status changes are logged with a timestamp, so “where is it?” has an answer before anyone asks.

## What do Saia statuses mean?

Saia statuses are mapped to M³ Tracker’s own buckets (booked, picked up, in transit, delivered, plus delayed and cancelled when reported), so your dashboard reads the same across carriers. A load is only marked delivered on an explicit delivery status, never on “arrived at terminal”.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does M³ Tracker track Saia shipments automatically?

Yes. Saia is tracked automatically today. Add the reference once and the status updates on its own.

### Which number do I need to track a Saia shipment?

You need the Saia PRO number.

### Does Saia report status as codes or as text?

As text, such as “Out for delivery” or “Delivered”. M³ Tracker matches the exact phrase first and falls back to its shared keyword rules for new wordings, so an unfamiliar phrase is never misread as a delivery.

The Saia PRO number. Enter it on saia.com or add it to M³ Tracker, which looks it up through Saia’s API.

### How often is a Saia status updated in M³ Tracker?

On a schedule during business hours, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Eastern on business days, and on demand with the Refresh button. Each change is timestamped, and your customers can receive it by SMS and on their tracking link.
