Austin, Texas (AUS) Terminal Manager David Reeves received the 2021-2022 Driving Safety Award earlier this year during the virtual annual conference. Described by his regional and safety managers as a great communicator and a “coach among coaches,” David is a leader not only at his terminal, which continues to meet and exceed expectations, but amongst his peers. Here are just a few of his stellar 2021 safety metrics:

• Lytx coachable events improved 51%
• Coachable score improved 32%
• Terminal safety audit score measured 94%

Congratulations David!

ACO Facilities Management Director Andrea Dalton-Lay was named our 2021-2022 Tony Richards - Paul Peck Award Winner. The award was re-named at this year’s annual conference not only to continue to honor its original namesake, a well-respected regional manager, but retired Executive Vice President of Operations Paul Peck, who worked at the company for over 40 years.

Her nominators described Andrea’s invaluableness to the company, stating that she has had an extraordinary last couple of years. She led much of Saia’s COVID response, while simultaneously scaling up our facility and maintenance programs, company-wide. According to her nomination, “she has consistently exhibited all the values embodied in the Richards-Peck Award.” Congratulations Andrea!
