The recognition reflects the confidence of the logistics and supply chain professionals who rely on Saia every day to deliver reliable, high-quality transportation solutions.</p>  <p>Now in its 42nd year, Logistics<em> Management’s</em> Quest for Quality Awards are widely regarded as one of the transportation and logistics industry&#39;s most respected measures of customer satisfaction and service excellence. Unlike many industry awards, recipients are selected directly by <em>Logistics Management</em> readers, the transportation and supply chain professionals who evaluate the carriers and logistics providers they trust to move freight around the world.</p>  <p>&#34;Earning this recognition directly from our customers makes these awards especially meaningful,&#34; said Saia Executive Vice President and Chief Customer Officer Ray Ramu. &#34;This achievement reflects the dedication of our employees across the network who work every day to deliver reliable service, operational excellence and innovative transportation solutions. We&#39;re grateful for the trust our customers place in us and remain committed to exceeding their expectations.&#34;</p>  <p>The Quest for Quality survey evaluates carriers across several key performance criteria, including on-time performance, value, customer service, information technology, and equipment and operations. The awards recognize transportation providers that consistently deliver exceptional service and earn the confidence of their customers.</p>  <p>The recognition comes as Saia continues to expand its nationwide network and invest in technology that enhances the customer experience. Earlier this year, the company introduced Saia REV (Rapid, Expanded, Visible), a strategic initiative designed to deliver faster transit times, expanded logistics capabilities, and enhanced shipment visibility through continued investments in technology and operational excellence.</p>  <p>&#34;Recognition like this reinforces that our investments are making a meaningful difference for our customers,&#34; Ramu added. &#34;As we continue growing our network and strengthening our capabilities, our focus remains the same: providing dependable, best-in-class transportation solutions backed by exceptional service.&#34;</p>  <p>Saia&#39;s recognition is featured in the August 2026 issue of <em>Logistics Management</em> alongside other top-performing transportation providers.
