Saia Receives Carrier of Choice Award From Ciba Additives ATLANTA, May 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Saia has received the 2000 Carrier of Choice Award from Ciba Additives.
Joe Cauchi, Ciba Additives director of transportation and customer service, presented the award to Saia Senior Vice President of Operations and Sales Tony Albanese and Atlanta Regional Sales Manager Karen Fortson in a ceremony at the Ciba central distribution center offices in Mobile, Ala.
"This is a tremendous honor and we really appreciate Ciba Additives' acknowledgement of our service to them," said Albanese. "Our team is to be congratulated for the overall effort given to this organization."
"Ciba Additives graded Saia on several categories, including on-time service and ranging from how well we interact and communicate with their employees, to how we handle service failures and all the way through our overall service," said Fortson. "Their system showed that out of a possible 100 percent, our grade came in at an exceptional 95 percent," she added. "This put us in the outstanding results category for the year."
Saia also had 100 percent on time for Ciba for the month of April.
In another division, the Ciba Colors Division, Saia received the first quarter award, based on that division's assessment program. Last year, Saia received Ciba Colors third quarter award. "This is particularly a great honor for us from this Ciba division," said Fortson, "because it means that we beat out all of their other core carriers for this quarterly award. In other words, we are the only carrier that serves them to be presented with this honor based strictly on their assessment of our service to them."
Saia is a provider of regional one and two day service from Southern Virginia, across the south and west to California, and northwest into Oregon and Washington with partner service to the rest of the continental United States. Saia also provides service to Puerto Rico, and complete North American coverage is offered including Canada and Mexico. Saia has more than 5,500 employees networking from 113 locations.
