Saia Inc. (NASDAQ: SAIA) is excited to announce that Saia LTL
Freight, a leading less-than-truckload (LTL) carrier, is opening
three new terminals this month, further expanding its Western U.S.
footprint as the company celebrates its 100th anniversary. The new
terminals in Bismarck and Fargo, North Dakota, and Sidney, Montana,
represent key milestones in Saia’s strategic growth, enhancing its
service capabilities and supporting the company’s continued
commitment to its "Customer First" approach.
Saia is excited to open its first two terminals in North Dakota,
one in Bismarck and another in Fargo. The facilities mark a
significant step in the company’s expansion into the state,
bringing Saia’s industry-leading services to a growing customer
base in the region. Additionally, the company is pleased to
announce the opening of its terminal in Sidney, Montana, as part of
its ongoing Western expansion. This is the fourth facility for the
company in the state.
"As we continue to celebrate our 100th year in business, each
new terminal opening demonstrates our ongoing commitment to
delivering exceptional service to both new and existing customers,"
said Executive Vice President of Operations Patrick Sugar. "Every
facility we open is an opportunity to create long-term value by
strengthening our network and enhancing our ability to serve our
customers better. Our expansion into North Dakota is particularly
significant, as it allows us to provide a higher level of service
in this market."
Saia’s ongoing investment in its facilities and workforce is
central to the company’s growth strategy. "These new terminals are
not just an investment for this quarter or even this year - they’re
long-term investments that will drive value for our customers and
shareholders for years to come," added Sugar. "We remain focused on
delivering exceptional service, supporting our customers’ success,
and maintaining our company’s strong culture as we continue to
grow."
The new terminals will further enhance Saia’s direct shipping
capabilities, improving service for customers in the Western U.S.
while contributing to local economies through job creation. The
company has already opened several new facilities this year and
plans to add additional terminals as part of its broader national
expansion strategy.
Saia is actively hiring for various positions across its
expanding network, including drivers, dockworkers, office staff,
sales professionals, and management roles. Interested candidates
