Georgia-based Saia Inc. Monday announced Saia LTL Freight is continuing its expansion with the opening of three new terminals this month.
One new facility opened in Akron, Ohio, and two additional terminals are slated to open Oct. 28 in Bowling Green and Paducah, Kentucky.
Saia said these new locations will enhance service in these regions by reducing transit times and freight handling. Since January, Saia has opened 18 new terminals.
“Opening these terminals in Ohio and Kentucky will improve service for our customers, allowing us to deliver freight faster,” said Vice President of Operations Jared Mull. “These additions will help us reduce transit times and improve freight handling as we remain committed to providing the highest level of service to businesses and communities throughout the region.”
The new facilities will bolster Saia’s nationwide network, offering more seamless service in these key markets, according to the company. Although Saia has serviced these areas, the new terminals will provide increased capacity and better freight handling, which translates into even higher service standards for customers.
As Saia celebrates its 100th anniversary this year, the company said in a statement this expansion is a testament to its legacy of growth and dedication to building strong, reliable connections across the country. The company said its strategy remains focused on delivering exceptional customer service while expanding its footprint to meet the increasing demand for dependable freight solutions.
Saia said it is actively hiring for various positions across its expanding network including drivers, dockworkers, mechanics, and sales professionals. Interested candidates are encouraged to visit the Saia website to learn more about available opportunities and apply.
With headquarters in Johns Creek, Georgia, Saia LTL Freight operates over 211 terminals across the country and employs more than 15,000 people.
