<PAGE>

opinion as set forth in the Amendment and with the understanding that you are

Note (collectively, the "NOTES") in reliance on the opinions expressed herein.
The Amendment, the amendments to the Guaranties and the Notes are collectively
referred to herein as the "AMENDMENT DOCUMENTS".

In connection herewith, we have examined such certificates of public officials,
certificates of officers of the Company, Saia and Jevic and copies certified to
our satisfaction of corporate documents and records of the Company, Saia and
Jevic and of other papers, and have made such other investigations, as we have
deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for our opinion hereinafter set forth.
We have relied upon such certificates of public officials and of officers of the
Company, Saia and Jevic with respect to the accuracy of material factual matters
contained therein which were not independently established.

In reaching the opinions set forth in Paragraphs two, four and six of this
letter, we have assumed, and to our actual knowledge there are no facts
inconsistent with, the following:

         a.    Each of the parties to any Amendment Document, other than the
               Company, Saia and Jevic, have duly and validly executed and
               delivered such Amendment Document and each such instrument,
               document and agreement (or duplicate original counterparts
               thereof) to be executed in connection with the loan transactions
               (collectively, the "LOAN") described in the Amendment, and the
               obligations of each such party (other than the Company, Saia and
               Jevic) set forth in any Amendment Document and in such
               instruments, documents and agreements are its legal, valid and
               binding obligations, enforceable against such party in accordance
               with their respective terms;

         b.    Each person executing any Amendment Document, other than on
               behalf of the Company, Saia and Jevic, whether individually or on
               behalf of an entity, is duly authorized to do so;

         c.    Each natural person executing any Amendment Document is legally
               competent to do so;

         d.    All signatures on the Amendment Documents will be genuine;

         e.    The Amendment Documents and all other documents submitted to us
               as originals are authentic;

         f.    The Amendment Documents and all other documents submitted to us
               as certified or photostatic copies conform to the original
               document and all public records reviewed are accurate and
               complete;

         g.    The execution, delivery and performance of the Amendment
               Documents by the Agent and Banks:

               (i)  have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or
                    other appropriate action on the part of the Agent and Banks;
                    and

<PAGE>

               (ii) do not contravene or conflict with any term or provision of
                    the articles of incorporation, by-laws or other governing
                    documents of the Agent and Banks;

         h.    The terms and conditions of the Loan as reflected in the
               Amendment Documents have not been amended, modified or
               supplemented, directly or indirectly, by any other agreement or
               understanding of the parties or waiver of any of the material
               provisions of the Amendment Documents that would define,
               supplement or qualify the terms of the Amendment Documents;

         i.    The Agent and Banks and their successors and assigns will: (i)
               act in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner in the
               exercise of any rights or enforcement of any remedies under the
               Amendment Documents; (ii) not engage in any conduct in the
               exercise of such rights or enforcement of such remedies that
               would constitute anything other than fair dealing; and (iii)
               comply with all requirements of applicable procedural and
               substantive law in exercising any rights or enforcing any
               remedies under the Amendment Documents;

         j.    There has not been any mutual mistake of fact or
               misunderstanding, fraud, duress or undue influence; and

         k.    The amendments to the Guaranties have been duly issued for value.

Based on the foregoing, it is our opinion that:

1.     The Company is a corporation duly organized and validly existing in good
       standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

2.     The Amendment and the Notes have been duly authorized by all requisite
       corporate action and duly executed and delivered by authorized officers
       of the Company. If Missouri law were to apply to the Amendment and the
       Notes, the Amendment and the Notes would be valid obligations of the
       Company, legally binding upon and enforceable against the Company in
       accordance with their respective terms.

3.     Based solely upon the Certificate of Good Standing issued by the Office
       of the Louisiana Secretary of State and dated as of November 10, 2003
       ("SAIA CERTIFICATE OF GOOD STANDING"), Saia is a corporation duly
       organized and validly existing in good standing under the laws of the
       State of Louisiana.

4.     The execution of the Amendment to effect the amendment of the Saia
       Guaranty, as set forth in Section 5 of the Amendment, and the execution
       of the amended Guaranty applicable to Saia, have been duly authorized by
       all requisite corporate action and duly executed and delivered by
       authorized officers of Saia. If Missouri law were to apply to the
       amendment of the Saia Guaranty, the amendment of the Saia Guaranty would
       be the legally valid, binding and enforceable obligation of Saia in
       accordance with its terms.

<PAGE>

5.     Based solely upon the Certificate of Good Standing issued by the Office
       of the New Jersey Secretary of State and dated November 10, 2003 ("JEVIC
       CERTIFICATE OF GOOD STANDING"), Jevic is a corporation duly organized and
       validly existing in good standing under the laws of the State of New
       Jersey.

6.     The execution of the Amendment to effect the amendment of the Jevic
       Guaranty, as set forth in Section 5 of the Amendment, and the execution
       of the amended Guaranty applicable to Jevic, have been duly authorized by
       all requisite corporate action and duly executed and delivered by
       authorized officers of Jevic. If Missouri law were to apply to the
       amendment of the Jevic Guaranty, the amendment of the Jevic Guaranty
       would be the legally valid, binding and enforceable obligation of Jevic
       in accordance with its terms.

7.     The extension, arranging and obtaining of the credit represented by the
       Notes does not result in any violation of Regulations T, U or X of the
       Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. In providing the
       opinion in the immediately preceding sentence, we have relied on factual
       matters set forth in the Officer's Certificate attached hereto as Exhibit
       A.

8.     The execution and delivery by the Company of the Amendment and the Notes
       and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder do not
       violate or result in a breach or default under any existing obligation of
       the Company under any agreement listed as a material contract under
       Exhibit 10 of the Form 10 filed by the Company with the Securities and
       Exchange Commission on July 19, 2002 (as amended on August 23, 2002 and
       further amended on September 6, 2002), nor does such action result in any
       violation by the Company of the provisions of the Certificate of
       Incorporation or By-Laws of the Company, any provision of applicable law,
       or any order, writ, judgment or decree known to us of any court or
       governmental agency or body that names the Company or is specifically
       directed to the Company or any of its material properties or assets.

9.     Based upon the Officers Certificate attached hereto as Exhibit A, no
       consent, approval, authorization or other action by, and no notice to or
       filing with, any governmental agency or regulatory body is required for
       the due execution, delivery and performance by the Company of its
       obligations under the Amendment and the Notes.

10.    A court sitting in the State of Missouri will look to the conflict of law
       rules of the State of Missouri to determine which law governs. Under
       Missouri law the parties to a contract may agree that the contract will
       be governed by the law of a particular state so long as some element of
       the contract is properly referable to that state. Courts applying
       Missouri law have not enforced agreements that the law of a certain state
       shall govern where the agreement is made to evade otherwise applicable
       law or where the agreement infringes upon a fundamental policy of the
       State of Missouri. In our opinion, a state or federal court in the State
       of Missouri applying Missouri law (a) should not find that the selection
       of Oklahoma law as the governing law under the Amendment and the Notes
       constitutes an infringement of a fundamental policy of the State of
       Missouri, unless it is determined that such selection is, in fact, made
       to evade otherwise applicable law of the State of Missouri and therefore
       (b) should give effect to the provisions in the Amendment and the Notes
       which select the laws of the State of Oklahoma as the governing law
       thereof. Provided, however, with respect to

<PAGE>

       the creation, perfection, priority and enforcement of any judgment
       liens, the laws of Missouri will apply with respect to assets located
       within Missouri.

In addition to the assumptions set forth above, the opinions set forth above are
also subject to the following qualifications:

A.     Enforceability of the Amendment Documents is subject to:

       (1)    the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
              receivership, moratorium and other similar laws affecting the
              rights and remedies of creditors generally, including:

              (a)   the United States Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended, and
                    thus comprehends, among others, matters of turn-over,
                    automatic stay, avoiding powers, fraudulent transfer,
                    preference, discharge, conversion of a non-recourse
                    obligation into a recourse claim and limitations on ipso
                    facto and anti-assignment clauses;

              (b)   all other federal and state bankruptcy, insolvency,
                    reorganization, receivership, moratorium, arrangement and
                    assignment for the benefit of creditors laws that affect the
                    rights and remedies of creditors generally;

              (c)   state fraudulent transfer and conveyance laws; and

              (d)   judicially developed doctrines relevant to any of the
                    foregoing laws, such as substantive consolidation of
                    entities;

       (2)    the effect of general principles of equity, whether applied by a
              court of law or equity, including principles:

              (a)   governing the availability of specific performance,
                    injunctive relief or other equitable remedies, which
                    generally place the award of such remedies, subject to
                    certain guidelines, in the discretion of the court to which
                    application for such relief is made;

              (b)   affording equitable defenses (e.g., waiver, laches and
                    estoppel) against a party seeking enforcement;

              (c)   requiring good faith and fair dealing in the performance and
                    enforcement of a contract by the party seeking its
                    enforcement;

              (d)   requiring reasonableness in the performance and enforcement
                    of an agreement by the party seeking enforcement of the
                    contract;

              (e)   requiring consideration of the materiality of a breach and
                    the consequences of the breach to the party seeking
                    enforcement;

              (f)   requiring consideration of the impracticability or
                    impossibility of performance at the time of attempted
                    enforcement; and

<PAGE>

              (g)   affording defenses based upon the unconscionability of the
                    enforcing party's conduct after the parties have entered
                    into the contract;

       (3)    the effect of generally applicable rules of law that:

              (a)   limit or affect the enforcement of provisions of a contract
                    that purport to require waiver of the obligations of good
                    faith, fair dealing, diligence and reasonableness;

              (b)   provide that forum selection clauses in contracts are not
                    necessarily binding on the court(s) in the forum selected;

              (c)   limit the availability of a remedy under certain
                    circumstances where another remedy has been elected;

              (d)   limit the right of a creditor to use force or cause a breach
                    of the peace in enforcing rights;

              (e)   limit the enforceability of provisions releasing,
                    exculpating or exempting a party from, or requiring
                    indemnification of a party for, liability for its own action
                    or inaction, to the extent public policy limits the
                    enforceability of such indemnification or the action or
                    inaction involves gross negligence, recklessness, willful
                    misconduct or unlawful conduct;

              (f)   may, where less than all of a contract may be unenforceable,
                    limit the enforceability of the balance of the contract to
                    circumstances in which the unenforceable portion is not an
                    essential part of the agreed exchange;

              (g)   govern and afford judicial discretion regarding the
                    determination of damages and entitlement to attorneys' fees
                    and other costs; and

              (h)   may permit a party who has materially failed to render or
                    offer performance required by the contract to cure that
                    failure unless (A) permitting a cure would unreasonably
                    hinder the aggrieved party from making substitute
                    arrangements for performance, or (B) it was important in the
                    circumstances to the aggrieved party that performance occur
                    by the date stated in the contract.

B.     Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this opinion, we are
       expressing no opinion as to the validity or accuracy of any warranty or
       representation made in connection with the Amendment Documents and assume
       all representations of the Company and Guarantors made in the Agreement,
       Guaranties and Amendment Documents are true.

C.     For purposes of the opinions expressed herein, "applicable law" shall
       mean all applicable constitutional, legislative, judicial and
       administrative provisions, statutes, regulations, decisions, rulings and
       other laws, whether federal, state or local.

<PAGE>

We express no opinion as to the enforceability of any clause requiring
additional payments upon, or otherwise limiting, prepayment or termination to
the extent construed as a penalty.

We express no opinion on any other matters pertaining to the transactions
contemplated by or related to the Amendment Documents, except as hereinabove
specifically provided, and no further or other opinion shall be implied. The
matters set forth herein or upon which this opinion is based are as of the date
hereof, and we hereby undertake no, and disclaim any, obligation to advise the
Agent and Banks of any change in any matters set forth herein or any matters
upon which this opinion is based.

When an opinion is stated to be "to our actual knowledge", or other words of
similar import appear, the language means only that we have no actual knowledge
to the contrary and does not indicate or imply any investigation or inquiry of
the Company, the Guarantors or others on our part. For this purpose, "we" means
only those attorneys within our Firm who have done substantive work on this
opinion.

This opinion is given with respect to the laws of the State of Missouri and the
laws of the United States of America, and we do not purport to be experts on, or
to express any opinion concerning, any laws other than the laws of the State of
Missouri and the laws of the United States of America (with respect to opinions
in Paragraphs seven, eight and nine), and, with respect to opinion numbers one
through two above concerning the Company, our review of the Delaware General
Corporation Law. With respect to the opinion expressed in the first sentence of
Paragraph four above, we have assumed the laws of the State of Louisiana are
substantially similar to the laws of Missouri. With respect to the opinion
expressed in the first sentence of Paragraph six above, we have assumed the laws
of the State of New Jersey are substantially similar to the laws of Missouri.
The opinions above are subject to this limitation in all respects.

This opinion is rendered solely to the addressees hereof, to be relied upon
solely in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Amendment. In any
event, this opinion may not be relied upon by any person (other than the
addressees hereof and subsequent holders of the Notes) or for any other purpose
without our prior written consent.

Very truly yours,
