Saia Wins Lowe’s Bronze Team Award
Saia has received another honor, receiving Lowe's Home Improvement Warehouse "2001 Bronze Team Award" during Lowe’s Transportation Conference held on February 1. Robert Long, LTL Services Manager for Lowe's Home Improvement Warehouse presented the award to Saia Senior Vice President of Operations and Sales Tony Albanese.

Albanese added, "We are excited about the partnership we have with Lowe's and appreciate this service recognition."
