Saia Set to Open Four Terminals
September 12 2019 - 4:11PM
Saia, Inc. (NASDAQ: SAIA) announced today that three new Saia LTL
Freight terminals will open in Erie, Pennsylvania and Buffalo and
Albany, New York. The facilities in Erie and near Buffalo will open
this Sept. 16. The third terminal, near Albany, is scheduled to
open Sept. 30. Saia will relocate its Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
terminal to a larger facility on Sept. 20.
"As with all our openings, Saia teams have been
working to make sure each new facility is ready to meet shipper
expectations starting day one,” said Saia Executive Vice President
of Operations Paul Peck. “All are fully staffed and have the
necessary equipment and technology in place to service our
customers.”
Saia’s three brand-new facilities located in
Erie and Tonawanda and Colonie, New York will provide greater
market coverage to meet customer demand. Thus far, over 135
employees have been hired and trained as part of the expansion.
With the addition of these three terminals, the company will have
opened 16 new facilities in the Northeast since expansion in this
region began in May 2017. Three additional openings are planned
through the end of the year, including a new facility in Southern
California.
The relocation of Saia’s Philadelphia-area terminal, currently
located in Cinnaminson, New Jersey, to a new site in Pennsauken
Township came about as a result of capacity constraints. The bigger
facility will consist of a warehouse/dock featuring 90 doors, as
well as a three-story office and shop, all situated on a 14-acre
site.
“Philadelphia has been a true success story for
us,” stated Peck. “We have exceeded capacity at our Cinnaminson
facility so it was crucial that we move in order to satisfy
continued shipper demand. With more doors, the larger terminal will
enable us to meet customer expectations in this thriving market for
the foreseeable future.”
All 80-plus employees who work at the
Cinnaminson location will relocate to the Pennsauken facility. The
terminal is also actively hiring for several additional positions.
