Saia Inc. (NASDAQ: SAIA) announced that Saia LTL Freight recently
honored its drivers, dockworkers, mechanics and other select
personnel for their 2022 safety achievements. Nearly 6,000 awards
were distributed to personnel who met a safety goal or reached a
career milestone. Safety is Saia’s number one priority and the
awards are a tangible representation of the company’s core values,
including “Safety” and “Do the Right Thing.”
“We were honored to recognize over 4,000 drivers with a safety
award. In addition, nearly 1,800 awards were presented to our
tremendous dock personnel and mechanics. Working for an entire year
without an accident or injury is an incredible achievement and it
is evident that every employee at the company continues to be
invested in our core values, most especially safety,” said Vice
President of Safety Steve Greenhill.
City and line drivers were honored for their years of safe
service and miles driven while dockworkers, hostlers, mechanics,
and other maintenance and material handling employees were
recognized for the number of years they have worked without a
lost-time injury.
Along with special pins and certificates, many employees
received custom jackets, rings or watches. Drivers with 3 million
miles, or 24 years, of accident-free driving were given a custom
gold watch. This year, 41 drivers received a watch. Diamonds are
added for each additional 500,000 miles, or four years, of
accident-free driving. Nine drivers received their second diamond
and 18 drivers received their first. Two drivers, Jackson,
Mississippi Line Driver Kenneth Magee and New Orleans, Louisiana
City Driver Gregory Blauvelt both received a third diamond for
their watches to recognize 37 and 45 years of safe driving,
respectively.
Drivers with 1 million miles, or eight years, of accident-free
driving received a custom, personalized gold ring. For each
additional 500,000 miles, or four years, of accident-free driving,
a diamond is added to the ring. Up to three diamonds can be added
for a driver who has reached 2.5 million miles or 20 years of
accident-free driving. This year, 180 drivers received their
million mile rings, 130 individuals had their first diamond added
to their rings, 97 received their second diamond, and 41 were
awarded their third diamond, which represents 20 years of
accident-free driving.
A special jacket was awarded to city and line drivers with
500,000 miles or four years of driving service. This year, 318
drivers received a jacket. Additionally, 1,774 dockworkers,
hostlers, mechanics and other maintenance and material handling
personnel were presented with a jacket, watch or backpack to honor
their safety achievements. Of note, 45 dockworkers and mechanics
have achieved 30 or more years of safe work at Saia.
“We believe that nothing is more important than the safety of
our personnel and the driving public,” Greenhill stated. "We are
very proud of all of our employees and their dedication to the
company’s safety programs, as they take care to provide our
customers with industry-leading service.”
