Wreaths Across America Contest

Saia honors U.S. military veterans by participating in Wreaths Across America.

We are honored to announce that Saia will begin participating in Wreaths Across America this year. The organization’s mission is to place wreaths on the graves of U.S. military veterans in more than 1,200 national cemeteries as a way to “Remember, Honor, and Teach.”
Saia LTL Freight will participate in the inaugural ceremony at the grand opening of two national cemeteries - Culverton National Cemetery and Long Island National Cemetery, both located in Long Island, N.Y.

Additionally, Saia employees will have a chance to participate in the pageantry of the process when the wreaths are cross-docked at our SLC terminal and four employees will be selected to travel to Long Island.  As such, we are looking for two drivers, one dockworker, and one mechanic who would like to represent Saia by participating in the wreath-laying ceremony on Saturday, Dec. 16, 2017.

To be considered, please submit a letter detailing why you should be selected and send it to ACO HR Project Specialist Courtney George at cgeorge@saia.com, or fax it to 770-232-4053, no later than Sept. 29, 2017. All letters will be reviewed by the Selection Committee and winners will be contacted Sept. 29.  All participants will be featured in Saia Directions.
