Saia LTL Freight opens 2 new Georgia terminals

While Saia is expanding into new service areas like West Virginia, it also continues to grow across its legacy markets. Beyond these terminal openings in Georgia, the carrier opened two new terminals in La Salle and Rockford, Illinois this spring, the company said in a media statement.

“Since the end of last year, we’ve been working to add capacity to our network in Georgia. These two new facilities, coupled with the terminal we opened in Calhoun in December, supports our strategy of expansion within markets where we’ve long had a strong presence and customer base, but needed to improve efficiencies, shorten transit times and offer more flexibility when it comes to same-day shipping requests. To support our pace of expansion, we’re continuously recruiting and onboarding the needed talent to operate our terminals. Along with expanding the Saia Driver Academy programme this year, we’re partnering with both driver schools and technical colleges in some markets to increase our candidate pipeline,” vice president of operations, East Jared Mull, said.
